“We had a fantastic time on the London Borough Market food tour, and our guide Anna truly made the experience exceptional. From the moment we started, she was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. Her passion for food and London’s culinary history really came through, and she struck the perfect balance between storytelling, local insight, and making sure everyone felt included. The food selections were excellent and thoughtfully curated, with a great mix of classic Borough Market favorites and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Anna shared great tips about the market, the vendors, and even where locals like to eat beyond the tour. We left full,…”

Even more impressive was the follow up email that he sent that gave details about everything that we sampled and even recommendations of places to go and try during our visit.

“I had to cancel this event because IT IS NOT CENTRALLY LOCATED TO ANY PUBLIC TRANSIT NOR IS IT CLOSE TO ANYTHING ELSE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL TO EDINBURGH. In my attempt to get a refund all I got was bounced back and forth between Viator the local vendor, neither wanting to assist with the refund until it was past the allowed time. All they wanted was for me to rebook the event, which didn’t solve my problem. Don’t waste your money on this event - there’s too much of Edinburgh to experience without this headache!”
