Would not download onto...

Would not download onto my phone, but did on my guest's, so we shared a headphone each, which was fine. Interesting tour.

Non-working app

The app kept crashing so I was not able to open the audio tour. Tried reinstalling the app twice and rebooting the phone and still couldnt get it to work.

Informative little tour

Gill_G, Jun 2024

An informative easy to follow tour for an hour. Definately worth it if you haven't been before. The only negative was that two people narrated the tour but it was a bit too jokey with an annoying lady chiming in with some stupid jokes that weren't funny, not necessary. It should have just been factual, but apart from that we had an excellent time. Very busy bustly place with tons to see and some interesting stalls and great food, we'll go again!!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a rating. We hope to see you again soon!

Experience the market at your own pace

Nadine_H, Sep 2023

The market is large and can be overwhelming. This tour is a great way to learn about its history and the key players. We did it at our own pace and stopped to sample foods and drinks whenever we felt like it!

Non- responsive tour operator

Michele_S, Sep 2023

We were unable to download the audio tour. And after sending an email to tour operator we have been ignored. Fortunately, we didn't spend much on this tour and we enjoyed Borough Market on our own.

Not enough of a food tour.

Kelli_S, Jun 2023

It had some good information about Bourough market, but I was hoping it was just going to focus on food and tell us different places to go and what foods to try. This was more of a history lesson and my teens were bored early on and stopped listening to it.
