London Borough Market Three Hour Food Tour For Two

What a fun time with Paddy exploring and eating through the Borough market and surrounds. Paddy is super personable, easy to chat with, and a great host. We also bonded with our fellow tour mates, and enjoyed several great tastes in the market, learned about the history of the market and some of the surrounding sites. All around easy morning, eating some great examples of local foods and learning a bit of history. Cheers

We have done a number of food tours in different cities and this was one of the best. Kaffe was a terrific guide. He was fun and provided a good amount of information about the sites and the food and drinks. Everything we ate and drank was excellent and all four of us had a terriric time.

I live in London and I know how great the food scene is, I was really looking forward to this tour and had not really explored Borough Market much, so I was expecting to be wow'd! Unfortunately, my first Eating Europe tour was so disappointing, specially for how much it cost! It started right on time and had a nice introduction where we quickly got to the food. Our first stop was okay, sausage rolls - not my favourite but my partner really enjoyed it. The shop was on Stoney St, so not really inside the market. We also stopped for Humble Crumble - I've always wanted to try this but the queue's usually very long. Though it was tasty, Humble Crumble is viral in London and in every "must try desserts in London" articles. So not really a "hidden gem". I was hoping to be taken somewhere more authentic. Weirdly, we were taken to Clink Prison. Very random addition to the tour with incorrect information about the connection of Mary, Queen of Scots being known as 'Bloody Mary'. There were many other incorrect historical information shared throughout the tour. We circled back from the way we came (missing the insides of the market) to a cider shop. It's always nice to have drinks on your tour, but this is a food tour after all. It would have been nice to see the fruit&veg, fish and meat, diary stalls in the market or even say hello to the vendors - have some personal interaction with people who are passionate about creating food. Comparing it to other tours I've done in other countries, I didn't really get the passion for food from my tour guide, or even passion for the city/Borough Market itself. The moment I saw him arrive without a backpack filled with goodies and enthusiasm, I knew this was going to be a very basic food tour of places I could easily find on my own or with a quick simple google search. The worst of all, we all left not that full - after being promised to be fed well. We went back into the market, got some more food and also tried some lovely oysters from Dorset - which would've made a great addition to the tour. I would recommend creating some rapport with the local venders and actually trying the foods you're suggesting (the fish and chips - worst chips ever). Also, really exploring the depths of the market, because it is really cool. Despite my experience, I probably would give Eating Europe another go.

The Borough Market is a must-see when in London, but I highly suggest doing a Walking/Food Tour. Not only did we sample excellent food, we learned a little of the area’s history. Our guide, Lauren (aka the birthday girl), was friendly & knowledgeable…she is very good at her job & we loved our time with her!

If you've never visited before, it's definitely worth coming with a guide, someone who will tell you a bit about the history of the area and show you the best stands to try. There's so much going on, you'd probably get lost on your own. Our guide was very approachable and friendly, which made the experience even better. And the sticky toffee pudding was awesome!

I had a fantastic time! The tour was really informative and the food we got was great! Lane and Josh were really funny and really knowledgeable while answering all our questions. We were able to get around the crowds and get food/drink highlights. Definitely a must do in London.

If you love food with some historical facts in the mix, then this tour is for you. Every bite was better than the last. From the most delicious sausage rolls ending with sticky pudding with a pint thrown in to top things off. We enjoyed ourselves at every turn. Wish I had room for more. Cheers to guides Pip and Tom for making our day.

My wife and I had just a couple of free days in London and our 20-something year old daughter joined us---we had a great time on the Borough Market Tour. Highly recommend for a unique taste of London and learning about the history of the city and area.

We went on the Borough Market Food Tour yesterday and we loved it! Really enjoyed sampling different foods from around the market and learning some local history in the process. We had Cafe leading the tour who was really informative and had time for everyone in the group. Would definitely recommend it!

This food tour was wonderful! It was perfectly paced and delightfully mixed information with a great balance of British tastes. We had enough time between tastings to let the food settle and have good conversation. There were even a few opportunities to rest our feet. Roisin was a wonderful guide!!

Short version: the tour, food and our guide Roisin (Row•sheen) were amazing. I highly recommend this tour. It’s well worth the price tag. Long version: At the meet up, we were given clear instruction on the tour to come and were asked to verify or add any food allergies. There were a total of 6 food stops ranging from pork rolls to cheese and more! Roisin was knowledgable, charismatic and fun. She kept the entire tour interactive and entertaining. We had a couple breaks from food to learn about historic sites in the proximity such as; London Bridge, The Clink and the Golden Hinde. The food was all fantastic, in my opinion. We even had a drink on the tour. I very highly recommend this tour and hope you have the pleasure of meeting Roisin.

This is a great way to experience and taste some English foods, both traditional, and creative updates. When you know the story of a place, it's all the better, and that's what we got on this tour. Our guide, Lauren, gave us plenty of information, and at each tasting stop, the story of who they are. Plenty to eat. You're on your feet, and some places can be either crowded or cobblestone.

Had an amazing time on this tour. Pip was knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. We tried the most incredible sausage roll to start, and the treats kept coming from there. Great balance of Borough Market and its surroundings. Well worth the time and money.

Our family of five had a phenomenal time with Laine on the East End Borough Market food tour. She was engaging and the time flew by - she knew the "hot spots" to go to and OMG the sausage rolls!!! Even her demeanor with the food vendors was amazing. We are hooked and will definitely book and Eating europe Tour whenever possible!

After what started as a comedy of errors involving getting on the wrong train, my friend and I made it to the Borough market to meet with our group for the tour only to discover our GPS would not lead us to the meeting place. After frantically searching for the meeting spot without success, I sent a text message explaining the situation and was told where the group would be after their first stop. We were able to eventually catch up with the group. Not only were we greeted with great smiles and acceptance, the tour guide was so kind, and the other guest were so forgiving. As it turns out, we didn't actually prevent the group from moving forward with their tour. I can't believe I don't remember the name of the tour guide, but she was wonderful! She was knowledgeable and included interesting facts about the various places we saw before we went into the market. Once in the market she gave a great explanation for the various food stalls we saw, and then we began to eat. The food was amazing! This tour is fabulous! I typically do food tours in most cities I visit, and this one was not a disappointment in anyway. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Our tour guide, Jordana was wonderful! She was so fun, knowledgeable and really made our tour spectacular! We loved all the food and drinks offered on this tour. The Borough Market is a must stop when in London and we can’t wait to go again!!!

We were very happy with this tour! Paddy our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and he had a great sense of humor! We enjoyed the tour and the food! We would gladly take another tour when in the area and would be happy to have Paddy as our guide!
