Great way to see/eat your way through London!! - Becki was an amazing guide! Funny, personable, and informative, it was easy to converse with her and ask her any question on our minds. Also, the food choices were superb - I was so impressed! Never would have known to visit this market/specific vendors otherwise, and so grateful I did!

Borough Market- all the tastes - Sue was an amazing guide!!!! She made the tour easy to follow and enjoy. It’s perfect for solo travelers, as a way to work around the city and taste things we’ve seen on Instagram.

Don't miss it !! - Our guide, SUE, was amazing. We have participated in 50+ Viator offerings and SUE is at the top of the heap, plus JOE LaROCKO in New York for the Chelse Market & Highline Food Tour.

Borough market food tour! - We had the most wonderful experience at the Borough Market food tours with devour tours during our trip couple of weeks back. It was such a lovely morning, great weather and being greeted by the most amazing guide I’ve seen, Billie! She’s really great and I would totally recommend her anytime. We were brought about the market trying different kinds of highlights and traditional food from the Bacon egg Bap from broods, super fresh Oysters,the Ginger pig sausage roll, the Humble Crumble for the Instagram worthy pretty pink desserts, to one of the best fish&chips we’ve ever tried, finishing off to a lovely Port, sticky pudding and cheese platter. I could go on about how delicious they all are but what’s even better, was how they were specially served in portions that are exclusively for tours, so you get to try the best grub without being too stuffed after. How perfect! With each dish, we were treated to a history of each by Billie and she was so meticulous even in bringing us to hidden and special spots we will otherwise probably not notice. She even took us to Harry Potter’s filming location and brought us on a historical visit to the Southwark cathedral where we could visit William Shakespeare’s statue and be in the garden when he used to frequent. We had wonderful tour mates too and despite it being a short few hours, we even went on an extended tour together visiting the spots Billie recommended. It really was an amazing tour day and we couldn’t get enough of it! So great that we went back to Borough market for bigger helpings of some of the selections we had.

Don’t eat breakfast before this tour! - Billie was fun, knowledgeable and funny. She knew her way around the market and chose good vendors. She added personal stories to introduce the food items.

Great Way to See An Interesting Part of Town - This was a great tour. Peter was a fabulous guide. My only recommendation is to consider shortening it by an hour, and let people explore on their own after the tour...rather than in the middle. We were disappointed we didn't get to go to the restaurant under the bridge due to it being closed.

Disappointment, not costumer friendly, in a situation that was totally out of our control - We had our flight cancelled to onion the day before our booked tour…we cancelled 24 hours and 40 minutes….they say 24 hours notice, this is not true, as we where denied a refund, and purely a reason that was totally out of our control, as we where forced to stay another nite in Budapest….total disappointment, all around
