A Beautiful Blend of History and Food

This tour perfectly captured the soul of Borough Market—historic yet modern, bustling yet warm. I loved hearing how the market reinvented itself over the centuries while tasting dishes that reflected old London and contemporary British cuisine. The meat pie from the award-winning butcher was unforgettable. A must-do for anyone who loves food with a story.

Amazing Brunch Tour with Fantastic Variety

My husband and I were amazed by how many different flavors we tried in just a couple of hours. From cider tastings to freshly fried fish, the variety was impressive. Our guide, Gozde, had an infectious enthusiasm for the market’s history and introduced us to vendors we’d certainly have missed on our own. A highlight of our London weekend.

A Foodie’s Dream Come True

As a solo traveler, I appreciated how personal and relaxed the experience felt. The guide blended culinary history with modern trends, explaining how London regained its reputation as a global food capital. Sampling artisanal cheeses while the trains rumbled overhead created such a quintessentially London atmosphere. I left with a list of new favorite stalls.

The Best Way to Experience Borough Market

I’ve visited the market before, but doing it with a private LivTours guide changed everything. Santiago knew exactly which stalls to hit to avoid the crowds while still getting the freshest bites. The English breakfast sarnie was perfection, and the wine pairing at the final stop tied the whole morning together beautifully. Worth every moment.

Delicious, Informative, and Great for Families

I brought my two teenage sons, and even they were enthralled by the mix of history and tastings. Our guide introduced us to small-scale producers and explained how Borough Market survived centuries of change. The sausage roll from the historic butcher was a unanimous favorite. This is a tour I’d recommend to any family visiting London.

A Flavor-Packed Morning in Borough Market

This private LivTours experience was the perfect way to begin our London trip. Our guide, Christian, led us through the arches of Borough Market while sharing stories about how British cuisine evolved from medieval trade routes to modern reinvention. The fish and chips stop was genuinely the best I’ve ever had, and the cheese-and-cider pairing was a surprising highlight. We left full, happy, and far more knowledgeable about British food culture.

Fascinating tour

My wife and I really enjoyed this food tour at the Borough Market. Such a vibrant place with so many tasteful things to try. Our guide was very good about explaining the various foods and their origins. So many different influences coming from the historical British colonies. We were fascinated...and stuffed, by the end of the tour!
