Christmas Delights: Festive Tea & Doughnuts at Borough Market

4.Christmas Delights: Festive Tea & Doughnuts at Borough Market

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $96

Review of London’s Christmas doughnut walk at Borough Market, with tea, local stories, Tower Bridge views, pricing, tips, and booking advice.

“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.…”

London Christmas Lights and Markets Walking Tour

6.London Christmas Lights and Markets Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 2 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $151

Review of London’s 3-hour Christmas lights and markets walk, with food stops, festive sights, price advice, meeting tips, and honest drawbacks.

“We first went to the original meeting place as described in the booking details. There we couldn’t find the guide and when I texted the contact through the app I noticed a message had been sent with a new meeting place. We looked for that meeting place, even asking for assistance from shop employees in the station and no one knew where it was. I couldn’t get a response from the tour operator nor did they try to contact me. I’ve done many, many tours through Viator and never been unable to find the meeting location. Very disappointing. And no refund on top of it.”
