"My husband and I had a private Borough market tour with Anthony. The meeting spot was easy to locate. Anthony is really friendly and made us feel comfortable commenting and asking questions. I feel we sampled some of the best that the market offered. Anthony made the perfect high quality choices and we truly loved everything we ate. Along the way we got a bit of history which brought the area to life. We saw and ate many things in London, but the tour with Anthony was my favorite! I highly recommend this tour for everyone visiting. IMO it’s best to do it at the beginning of a trip. Thank you, Anthony, for a wonderful experience!"
"Ok so maybe the day did start a little dreary, but that was quickly replaced by our time with Maria. From a delicious start at a local tea vendor, through fresh oysters and scallops to a decadent mushroom risotto Maria kept us well fed and informed about local history and historic places. She is super friendly and we felt like we were exploring London through food with a friend - which we feel she became by the end. Over a pint to finish off the tour of course. And by then the sun was, of course, shining! We highly recommend a day with her!"

Amazing Tour!
"Anthony was such a great local guide who knew so much about the Borough Market area and the surrounding area. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, conversation, and history and left completely full and happy! Kids ages 8 and 14 also enjoyed the tastings and he catered the route to keep them entertained too. Delicious! "
"I loved this tour. I learned so much from Leonardo as he is an expert at British History. I loved how he intertwined the food tastings with seeing sights around and learning. I highly recommend."
"Loved our afternoon with Anthony. Very knowledgeable and guided us through the very busy market like a pro. Food was delicious and very filling. Ended with a little history to tie it all together. "

A great Morning
"Tom is a great host and very knowledgeable about a big variety of topics!
I booked this breakfast tour because I wanted to experience a quote from my favourite British Autor in the most local way possible:
“They don't go in for the fancy or exotic, but stick to conventional food like flightless bird embryos, minced organs in intestine skins, slices of hog flesh and burnt ground grass seeds dipped in animal fats; or, as it is known in their patois, egg, sausage, bacon and a fried slice of toast.”
Tom turned it into an incredible journey with lots of stories, local facts, awesome food and amazing views!
Thank you again for the wonderful morning, i will make sure to contact you again when I make it back to London.
Top rating! 11/10

"It was a unique and fabulous experience; I highly recommend it! Chris is a wonderful person who is exceptionally knowledgeable about historic England and ties this knowledge in with one of my favourite beverages: good coffee. Chris’ passion for history, architecture and coffee shone throughout the tour. He was generous with his time and information. Chris also provided us with recommendations for a great brunch spot before our tour and left us with many resources to explore during our visit to England."
"We very much enjoyed this tour with Anthony. We had booked the Fish&Chips/medieval London tour and it was a very good mix of enjoying great food at Borough Market and seeing hidden gems of London. Worth every penny. Also our 12-year old son really liked it. We can fully recommend it."

Anthony's Borough Market Extravaganza

He took us on a culinary journey through the bustling market, introducing us to a variety of mouthwatering treats, from awesome sandwiches to delectable pastries. Anthony's warm and charismatic personality made the tour feel like a fun outing with a knowledgeable friend. His engaging stories and insights about the market's history and vendors added an extra layer of enjoyment to each tasting. I highly recommend this tour to anyone eager to explore the flavors of Borough Market with an exceptional guide."
