To be honest, when I made the reservation for this tour, I had no idea what to anticipate. One of the highlights of our trip ended up being there. David, our tour guide, deserves a lot of credit for his enthusiasm for food, just as he does for soccer. David gave us information, entertainment, alternatives, and food—though not necessarily in that order. The Borough Food Hall, with its countless stalls of cheese, meat, seafood, exotic cuisines, bread, and so on, served as the tour's main attraction. Each visit had delicious cuisine and an explanation of why it was the best fish and chips in London (which it was). Although the sticky toffee pudding at the end was delicious, it was overshadowed by the unexpected dessert David handed everyone. With David's wisdom, it was a fantastic way to spend three hours or so discussing nothing but food. I should also mention that David gave my 9-year-old granddaughter as much attention as he did the adults when she joined us. If you're a foodie, you can't miss this. Once more, I want to thank David for such an amazing experience. Sydney also thanks you.

This is our first time participating in a Food Tour, and it set a strong example for future tours of this nature. Joseph has been a wonderful local guide. He is knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects, including the local cuisine and its history. He claims to have only been doing this for two months, but despite that, he knew where to take us and saw to it that everyone had a good time. All the food stands and pubs he took us to as we wandered around Southwark didn't let us down. Even though I don't experiment with cuisine much, the majority of the meals I've had on this journey have been fantastic.

Gary was a great guide, lots of local knowledge, a good sense of humour, and historical information!  He added a few non food stops to make the tour extra interesting. All of the food was fresh made and good quality. The sticky toffee pudding was the best I have ever had, and I have had a few ;-). I don’t normally eat sausage rolls, but this one was a whole other level of flavour and texture, very good. We were lucky with a nice, small 5 person group. Gary tried to get to know us and embedded that info into the tour, adding a valuable layer.

I do not want to spoil any of the surprises by providing specifics, but we had a great time. The tour was a fun mix of history and interesting insight into current food trends. We will revisit the area to try some of the other options before leaving town, probably every day! Our guide, Billie, was great.

While my husband and mother-in-law had never been on this tour, it was my second time. Billie was a fantastic tour guide. We gained knowledge of the region's history and the influences of the various foods we sampled. As we moved through the market, Billie kept a nice pace while also pausing to let us linger at a few stalls. I wouldn't think twice about taking the tour a third time, and Billie is an excellent guide.

Billie from Food Tours of London led my wife and me on a food tour of the Borough Market neighborhood near London Bridge. We sampled many excellent renditions of British classics such as sausage rolls, fish and chips, and puddings. Billie is a pleasant and knowledgeable person who was a pleasure to work with. We recommend taking this tour early in your trip to London because you will want to come back to the Market to try quite delectable items!

Gary was wonderful, and he is very personable and engaging. He helped to make this tour unforgettable for us. This experience was the ideal marriage of history and flavor. Gary took us to places we would never have explored on our own and informed us about historical facts along the way. He also has a great sense of humor - and maybe a few dad jokes:-) We felt so at ease on this tour that we returned twice! The tour itself had just the right amount of walking and sitting time, with plenty of time to explore the surrounding area. There are many tastings that are more than a full meal. The restaurants and food places that served us were super friendly and we really enjoyed this experience. I would recommend it to anyone!

This is a real blast! Borough Market offers some of the best food around! Our guide, Gary, was incredibly knowledgeable and took excellent care of us! The tour concludes with a pub meal that includes a cheese sampler, Mead cider, and sticky toffee pudding! It was delightful to meet people from Norway, Germany, Canada, and Israel! I highly recommend it!
