Overview

If you think British food is bland, think again! After a few hours with one of our hosts, you’ll change your mind. Kick off your adventure with a caffeine dose from one of the trendy cafes along the Thames, then head to Borough Market for perfectly crisp, golden fish and chips, the tastiest slow-cooked meat, famous sausage rolls, and the freshest oysters. You'll sample regional cheeses from crumbly Cheddar to rich Stilton, and then let your sweet tooth run wild with quirky cakes, exquisite tarts, and more.

Within 24 hours after booking, you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

We enjoyed this tour, and Becky was one of the main reasons. Great conversations and recommendations on the market. Once we were stuffed at the market, we had a nice stroll on the river as she pointed out several interesting and historical items.

What an amazing food tour with Ana Ortiz. We met in the hotel lobby and then traveled together into the maze of the Borough Market. We exchanged several emails about likes, dislikes, interests, previous travel and past food experiences prior to the tour. Ana used that information to perfection to make some amazing choices that combined British tradition like teas and Scotch eggs with surprising international dishes and beverages from places like India, Spain, Colombia and Iraq. I would never have imagined leaving London as a new fan of Iraqi cooking!! We ended the day with some mulled wine as a reminder of ancient Roman influences that persist in modern London. Ana was fun to be around and was genuinely interested in making the tour perfect. At no time were we rushed. She made it clear that the tour wasn’t set in stone, so if we noticed something interesting as we passed by a shop it was fair game. As an American unaccustomed to buying food in a traditional market, it was also fun watching her go back and forth with the vendors to make sure everything was just right. We also bought several items to take home for gifts and self indulgent treats along the route. At the end, Ana helped us find the next stop on our itinerary, which was close to the market, but not as easy to find as one might expect. Don’t eat breakfast beforehand, and don’t clean your plate at every stop. You will still get plenty to eat by the end and I predict that you will go away with a very different idea about British food than you arrived with!! Very highly recommended!
