Our tourguide (Sue) was wonderful! The experience was certainly worth it. The market is large and overwhelming- it was great to have someone guide you to some of the best stops! Plus they handle ordering, waiting in line, paying, etc.
I will certainly recommend this tour to family and friends!

Our time with Billie was glorious!! We started off strong enjoying her wonderful breakfast baps, and the day just got better from there.
Her history tidbits were delivered with flair and sauciness with minimal flapping about. It’s a toss up as to what was our favorite thing, between the wonderfully battered fish delights with tart sauce, or the Scots egg in its wonderfully sausage laden shell. Finishing with a beautiful sticky pudding at the Mug house was a happy ending to what was a truly fantastic tour with Billie !
