Our guide Judd was fun and fabulous. Very knowledgeable but not in a stuffy way. All four of us had a blast on the tour, even the fussy teenagers!

This is a wonderful way to learn about London while tasting the local cuisine. It started a little crazy because we couldn't find our tour guide, but once we found Charo aka shadow, it was good eating and lots of history. We started with bacon egg and cheese and continued thru Borough Market trying foods like fish and chips, sausage roll and desserts called humble crumble. So much food we skipped dinner. Don't eat before this tour, the food is plentiful. Really great way to try different foods. Ask for Charo she was amazing!

This was a great tour. Peter was a fabulous guide. My only recommendation is to consider shortening it by an hour, and let people explore on their own after the tour...rather than in the middle. We were disappointed we didn't get to go to the restaurant under the bridge due to it being closed.
