Delicious donuts & tea - It was just my husband and I, and our guide was wonderful. We were able to get a historical walk, extra added special spots on our tour because it was just the three of us. Our guide was so wonderful and the donuts were delicious. The tea store was fabulous and we came away with some great goodies.

Great tour! Not just delicious donuts and tea! - We really enjoyed this tour. First, our tour guide Andy was fantastic! He was knowledgeable and funny. We enjoyed the donut stops and especially the tea shop he introduced us to. The donuts and tea were wonderful! Andy made stops between the donuts and tea to point out other interesting sites and places. We were a group of mixed energy levels and the walk wasn’t too slow or too fast for any of us. Which was very important for our group. We had a difficult time finding our starting location. Fortunately for us Andy came looking for us!! The only thing I would change is a little more time at the Borough Market. It was such a cool place and I would have loved more time to explore it. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour and Andy in particular. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

One of the best tours in London - The tour was a trove of phenomenal knowledge and I am so thankful we got someone like Oscar as our tour guide! There were trainees on the tour as well and they were very friendly and welcoming to us Americans.

Lovely day! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Oscar! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He answered all of our curiosities and questions, which were not on the topic of doughnuts! We loved the variety of doughnuts that were offered, and the tea shop was one of a kind. Thank you, Oscar, for all of the history! It was a great day in Borough Market!

A lovely and tasty afternoon. - Bhavani gave us a wonderful tour of Southwark and the Borough Market. Starting at St John’s Bakery on the Borough High Street with a delicious doughnut, she walked us toward the market commenting on the historical features of the area. We tasted delicious tea at Bird and Tea and then made our way inside the incredible market to explore the wonderful sites inside this extensive area of incredible sights and smells. Bhavani represents the kindness and generosity of the British people at their best.

Informative Tour with Opportunity for Improvement - I usually book a food tour when visiting an international city, but this time I decided to book a shorter food tour to allow time for other excursions. The tour guide had two trainees shadowing him, so it ended up being a private tour for myself and my husband. I'm giving it three stars because of the following reasons. I wanted more time walking around Borough Market, the two donuts was not enough, and there was no option to try coffee (even though it said coffee and/or tea in the tour details. Additionally, he took us to The George Inn where Shakespeare was a regular, but we did not go inside. That was disappointing. We walked around Southwark and ended at the London Bridge. Overall, it was a good experience but there are opportunities for improvement.
