I had a wonderful morning with Marcia. We explored Borough Market and tried so many unexpected items such as snake fruit and fruity Turkish Delight. She would be my first choice to explore any part of London!!

I really like the way he was listening to my need (at one point a was getting a lil full being jetlag etc, so we went for a walk, and he did get me through a museum so we could stop eating a bit and go see an exhibition. You can tell London is really the city he loves.

We met our guide Bertie who was such a fun guy and he took us to try various typical British foods which were surpirsingly good! Of course we had fish and chips but we also discovered some other cheeses and foods we had never heard of! Bertie was so knowledgeable and funny and made this tour really fun! Thanks so much

I enjoyed the visit to the Borough Markets, particularly seeing the fresh produce, cheeses and the freshly cooked items ready to eat. There was also time to see inside Southwark Cathedral and to take a leisurely walk past the Globe theatre and over the Millenium Bridge. Gianni, our, guide, showed us lots of interesting stalls and was patient when we stopped at any particular stalls that interested us. He also advised us about transport for the trip Eric and I planned to make on Saturday. The tour results in happy memories. I would recommend Gianni to other people planning to do the same tour.
