We had a wonderful time on this tour. Charley tailored the tour to our specific dietary needs (in this case, pregnant and gluten free, no easy feat), and we had a great time going through borough market and outside to other lovely pubs and markets that we never would have found by ourselves. A+

Sample Itinerary
Start Your Tour with Tea
Of course our British food tour starts with a cup of tea, and a traditional snack, to introduce you to British food culture and the history of the market.
Taste Fabulous Flavours
Eat your way around the market, enjoying private tastings of European cheeses and British charcuterie, and savouring the sights and smells it has to offer. And we’ll include a secret stop tailored to you, to enjoy something more filling.
Indulge in Hot Chocolate
Of course you could have a coffee, but we bet you don’t want to miss the award-winning hot chocolate that we decided was one of the best in London…
Sample a Selection of Wines
Join us for a drink in a hidden, award-winning warehouse, exclusive to our Borough food tour, and enjoy planning the rest of your time in London.

Guests Love Our Tours
We were met by a wonderful girl called Beatrice , we had a private tour with her.She was so knowledgeable about Borough market and London, especially Victorian history. We thoroughly recommend Totally Tailored, not being in a large group made it so personal. Thank you Beatrice!
I did not feel like I was on a tour but rather being shown around town by a long lost friend. Definitely worth every pound.

True to a private tour, the guides catered to our specific needs. Both were very knowledgeable, enthusiastic while ensuring we understood what to expect.

If you are a Harry Potter fan, I highly recommend taking the tour with Linus, as he points out so many details that most people would never know or see. One detail which we found unique (we have done other private tours elsewhere), was they made reservations for lunch at restaurants near the tours, which was extremely helpful.
