Overview

Mobile ticket
This tour is about getting you way off the beaten track and going where the locals go. Over three hours we visit six very different stops and two markets, one hidden away and one you can't miss. From Venezuelan Arepa's to visiting a hidden away distillery to try a gin & tonic, both found underneath the arches of the London Bridge train station, delicious pasta made right in front of your eyes by the incredible chefs at Flour & Grape, artisanal cheese from Neal's Yard Dairy, oysters from Richard Howard's Oyster bar (8 generations and still carrying the torch of the Howard name) and depending on the day, Iraqi dumplings from Juma or succulent sausage rolls from Ginger Pig, both found right in the centre of Borough Market. We will view into what London's old warehouses and docklands used to look like along the River Thames, when London was at the centre of global commerce and walk down the very trendy Bermondsey area and learn about its fascinating past in the Leather, Wool & Hide trade.

5.00I was pleased with Eddie (owner) responsiveness when I message him the night before with a last minute question. We had an extremely enjoyable time with our guide Ty. He was personable, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We were in a small group, so he was able to field all of our questions and adjust the pace of the tour to the ability of all our family members. We had a wonderful time trying the wide variety of items that we might not have tried otherwise. We would highly recommended anyone to ask for him by name if possible. 100% worth the fee for the tour, and Ty personally is worth a nice gratuity.
Great personal tour

5.00Our tour with George was great! He was very knowledgeable and we had great conversations with him along the way on the rich history and culture of the hidden gems of London he showed us.

5.00My sister and I totally lucked out as it was just us and George our guide! This also happened on our food walking tour in Porto. This is a hidden gems tour so we skipped most of the "tourist " spots. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. We had Ethiopian food, a G&T at a local gin distillery, freshly made pasta, locally made chocolates, fresh local cheese and finally oysters. All very good. Perfect amount of food. Traversed lots of areas of London that we likely would not have visited. The Borough marketplace was VERY crowded at the time of our visit but there were several sporting events going on so the pubs were overflowing and it was Saturday. All part of the experience. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Fab way to see less known parts of London

5.00Alexi was so lovely, intelligent and sincere. He presented excellent historical and cultural insights. The Sri Lankan food stall had amazing food and people and the Jensen gin distillery was also memorable. And I usually avoid soy protein and gin and tonic!
