Traveler reviews
A Standout Food Tour — Thanks to Billie!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently took the Borough Market Food Tour (Private Brunch Experience) with LivTours, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip. The reason? Our guide, Billie. Billie was incredibly knowledgeable — not just about the food, but about the history and the people behind every stall. She wove in some wonderful stories along the way that brought the whole market to life and made the experience feel personal rather than rehearsed. On top of that, she knows absolutely everything about the London theater scene — she had brilliant recommendations and insider knowledge that made us grab some last-minute tickets to Operation Mincemeat! What really set her apart was how well she knew everyone at the market. Even though Borough Market was packed and crowded, Billie's relationships with the vendors meant we had direct, quick access to everything — no long waits, no missing out. It felt like being shown around by a true local insider. If you're considering this tour, do it — and hope you get Billie as your guide. We left full, happy, and genuinely impressed. Thank you, Billie, and the whole LivTours team!
One of our favorite parts of our trip!
We had a fabulous morning with Billie on this tour! Highly recommend. The market is very crowded and overwhelming. She made this one of favorite family experiences! Plus we loved that our 10 and 17 year old were open to trying all the food. Billie is such a delight! Ask for her!
Loved eating our way through the market with Luke!
5 out of 5. Luke was the best tour guide for our Borough Market eating extravaganza! We learned great facts while eating our way through the market. While the temps were chilly, we loved trying so many wonderful meals. Luke was an excellent guide for our family of five!
Must Do
Charlotte was great. She was very knowledgeable of London and provided interesting tidbits at every turn. The food was amazing too!
Excellent experience!
We were lucky enough to take two of Luke's good tours. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. He was patient and listened to our wants and tastes.
