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…”

His food tour structure is perfect, starting with leveling teaching you about Brixton's history to ensure the tour makes sense, then a guide through the market getting appetizers and ending with a delightful seated meal allowing the group to get to know each other. He's one with the community and knows the local shops. He's introduced us to small business owners throughout the tour allowing us to purchase other items outside the food tour. I will be returning for a follow up tour next time I'm in London!”
