Amazing tour and worth every penny

This was such an amazing tour! Sam was our tour guide and he couldn't have been more wonderful. He was very kind and he knew everything there was to know about English food and its history. The portion sizes for this food were also great and you really do get the chance to taste everything with more than generous serving sizes so please do bring your appetite. Sam was very easy to find at his meeting spot and he took us through Borough Market, which was amazing, along with ending the tour at a restaurant where we had tea and scones and we were able to sit down and relax and talk. I highly recommend this tour if you like trying different types of food and having a variety of items. This tour really does make you look at the food in London in a different way because it's incredibly diverse. While there is some walking it's not unbearable at all and it's nice to end the tour inside a restaurant where you can sit down and relax for a bit. Great tour and absolutely worth the price because you are going to eat a lot of different food but not feel overwhelmed and not like you can't finish the samples. Also, please note that although this tour starts in Borough Market which can be very busy, you won't have to wait in any long lines that you may see online on social media for example. Sam booked all of our stuff ahead of time and our food was ready at each stop so that was also great.

England has really good food.

If someone said they could only do one tour, THIS IS IT. Sam was so knowledgeable. Tied all the food in with the history. So much food, full portions. The tour was great, worth the money. Just do it you will be happy you did.
