Great
The tour was well worth doing - our guide Becki was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the Southwark area, seeing the markets and partaking of different foods. I thoroughly recommend the tour and will investigate Devour tours in other cities/ countries.

Terrific tour and tour guide. Lots of great info and we got to try a lot a different food. One note:
Æthelred the Unready is a misnomer. He was Æthelred Un Rad. Æthelred means "good counsel" and Un Rad meant "bad counsel", suggesting that he either gave bad counsel or received bad counsel. More accurate, but less fun than "Unready."

This tour is excellent value for money. The food selections were wonderful, and our tour guide Sharan was very friendly and knowledgeable. And the small size of our group was just right.
I highly recommend this tour.

This tour is a must if you are wanting to experience Borough Market. The Market is huge, and to sample the quantity of food and drink we did on the tour, we would have paid double or triple. This tour was the perfect combination of history, delicious treats, and a huge cost saver for experiencing the Borough Market. A must if you are in London
