The tour was fun and Billie was a wonderful tour guide! She was very organized and we were able to easily navigate the crowded market. She also allowed some free time for us in the market while she was setting up the next stop. Lots of local food to try including sausage rolls, fish and chips, and sticky toffee pudding.

Tasty, Informative and Entertaining Food and Drink tour of London

Jeremy_B, May 2023

We were entertained and informed by Gary while we walked through a tasty eating experience of London, sampling British food and history. With little quips, rhyming slang and gems of Shakespeare, our tour guide took ourselves and a wonderfully interactive and friendly group of about twelve through Borough Market and the historic areas of Southwark tasting lovely sausage rolls, crispy fish and chips to toffee pudding and drink from mead to cider finishing with a lovely Rosy Lea (cuppa tea) at the Boot and Flogger.

Response from Host, May 2023
