Much ado about something tasty!

Roisin is a delightful guide, able to go with the flow during our tour, interacting with the entire group, and answering questions we thought but had difficulty pinning down as a visitor to the area. For instance, origins of the different foods we were tasting throughout.

Great food and walking tour of Borough Market!

Pip did a great job showing us around to some of the best local food. I especially liked that we did both a food tour and a walking tour, so the amount of food felt manageable and gave us all a chance to chat and get to know each other. Overall, a great tour to go on to find some good bites and make some friends!

Operator response
