Great experience! - Ryan and Simon did a great job of sharing information that we would probably not have otherwise learned. Wonderful to be guided along to get the most of the borough market experience. Great tour from locals.

SIMON ROCKS! - Simon was fantastic! He had so many interesting things to tell us and he was so kind. We saw the Southwalk Chapel, walked around the Borough Market, and we walked around the Thames. We ended at Shakespeare’s pub. We ate cheddar cheese, brie, sausage rolls, fish and chips, truffle oil with bread, donuts, and drank Shakespeare’s beer. It was a great learning experience and delicious!

Must do tour - 10/5 stars! Simon was great- he was able to weave history, food and sights seamlessly. One of the best tours I’ve ever done. My 12 and 16 year old were engaged and interest. Highly recommend.

Out of this world tour! - The food tour was by far one of our favorite things we did in London! This was our first time in London and our tour guides were AMAZING! We tried a delicious pork roll, fish and chips, oysters, and a heavenly gourmet donut that was out of this world! The history we learned was phenomenal! I’m so glad they took us to Borough Market. That was a hidden gem! I would definitely do this tour again when I come back to London! Thank you so much for a GREAT tour!
