Delicious london walking tour
Did this tour on December 3 with Luke as my guide. I love doing tours that are a little different when I travel and this do not to or was excellent. Not only did I get to eat lots of delicious donuts but I learned a lot about an area of london that I have not explored before. Luke was an excellent guide, it ended up just beings me an the tour which I have had happen before and those were awkward.. This was not awkward due to Luke being a great guide, and keeping up a stream of facts and conversation. Also, a shoot out to Frankie at the teashop we went to. Super helpful. Would highly reccomend.
Response from the operator: So happy to hear that Luke made you feel so welcomed on our lovely tour in London! He says hi by the way! We'd love to see you on a future tour, please use the code SUPERFAN10. Cheers!

Mini-city tour with a side of doughnuts
As fun as it sounds. Our man, Oscar, was all too happy too lead us around the Borough Market area - pointing out building of historical significance as well as pubs, restaurants and other come-back-and-see-them spots. Of course there were doughnuts. Thankfully, Oscar brought each of us a bag to collect our half-eaten stash so we wouldn’t have a sugar-seizure mid-tour. The doughnuts themselves were a varied lot. From the traditional to the wild. And all were worth sampling, but of course we had our favorites. Our tea stop was a breath of perfumed air. All in all, an excellent entree to the food and drink scene around Borough Market. And enough walking to keep us from feeling guilty about the indulging.

Great way to see London
This was the most fun way to see some of the major areas in London. It was a great way to keep kids engaged as we learned about the history of the area. Oscar was our tour guide and he was amazing! He knew his history, his donuts and all his connections in the market made it even better. Highly recommend.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London Borough Market Holiday Food Tour: Sweet Treats & Tea Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London Borough Market Holiday Food Tour: Sweet Treats & Tea Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does London Borough Market Holiday Food Tour: Sweet Treats & Tea Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is London Borough Market Holiday Food Tour: Sweet Treats & Tea Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule London Borough Market Holiday Food Tour: Sweet Treats & Tea Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is London Borough Market Holiday Food Tour: Sweet Treats & Tea Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London Borough Market Holiday Food Tour: Sweet Treats & Tea Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London Borough Market Holiday Food Tour: Sweet Treats & Tea Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
