My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our private food and history tour of Borough Market with Jordana. She was wonderfully informative, bringing the market’s history to life, and her gentle, kind manner made the experience all the more enjoyable. An excellent tour with a lovely guide—we would highly recommend it!

Eating Europe and while the agent tried to help us we were still unable to find the group. we tried calling the guide but got no answer. by the time the guide messaged us we had already given up. there wasn't a other tour that day so we were unable to reschedule (rescheduling would have cost us another $40)
