Along the way, you’ll feast on a variety of generous food tastings from some of the area’s best-loved traders and hidden gems. From savoury bites to irresistible sweet treats, this is very much a “come hungry” kind of experience.
With small group sizes capped at just ten guests, the tour feels intimate, relaxed, and packed with insider knowledge you simply wouldn’t discover on your own. It’s the perfect London foodie experience for curious visitors, history lovers, and locals wanting to see the city in a whole new light.

Sophia was incredible. She helped us navigate the market even despite the busy crowds on a holiday weekend. We enjoyed the most delicious food all day. She was even kind enough to walk us to the entrance of the Tower Bridge once our tour was finished (and take a few family photos). She found the most incredible empanadas, fish 'n chips, and sausage rolls. Can't wait to return.

Gary was fantastic! Highly recommend the Borough Market Tour - tasty bites from so many amazing vendors (and great stories behind the food & market as well). Don't eat beforehand - it is a lot of food on the tour.

My partner and I did the Borough Market food tour yesterday and really enjoyed it - our guide Sophia was fun, friendly and well-informed and she spent over three hours guiding us round this busy market, providing samples of everything from cheese and pate to empanadas, risotto and ice cream, while teaching us all about the rich history of this fascinating area. It's not cheap but compares well in price with other tours - you can of course explore Borough Market on your own time but it's easy to get overwhelmed, so a guide like Sophia is a great way to see everything and still remain calm!

Great guide and tour! I'm so glad we got a guide for Borough Market because it's very chaotic and crowded otherwise and it would have been too hard to navigate. We got to taste different things and got to learn history about each item/restaurant.
