London Bridge & Borough Market Food Tour with 7 Authentic Dishes

1.London Bridge & Borough Market Food Tour with 7 Authentic Dishes

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,972 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $113Our pick

Spend about three hours around London Bridge and Borough Market, tasting seven British dishes, cheeses, dessert, drinks, and a secret bite. Guides such as Chris, Gary, Jeremy, Billie, and Anna mix food with local stories. The group is capped at 12, and private tours are available.

“I booked the Foodie tour on a whim! I was exploring London by myself. I purchased delightful makeup, and then received a relaxing manicure. My IPhone battery died so I jogged back to my hotel to charge my phone. It took 20 minutes for it to juice up! I tried to contact tour guide and received no response. I decided it was probably too late to try to catch up to guide and other people especially since I only heard from the guide through Waves app which I had to download…. This also took time, and I gave up after 35 minutes since they did not seem to care! Later…”

“We have gone on several food tours and this was by far the best. Our guide (Dave) was (this may sound silly to some of you), appropriately dressed and his vocabulary was excellent. Re: the tour, the choice of restaurants was a perfect balance of “out of the box” without being inedible. The food was delicious and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the establishments. Another plus was that after several days of exhausting tours, the restaurant locations were pretty compact. Dave was very considerate of one of our fellow travelers who was recovering from a recent surgery. I was very impressed with the quality of this tour.”
