Gastrotour vouchers - Give the gift of a treasured memory formed from an unforgettable experience - a half-day packed with some of the best food and drink in London.
Celia’s Gastrotours are a totally unique and original experience that any food lover will be inspired by. Celia created this business long before food tours were fashionable, and she has kept it special and boutique, rather than making it touristy.
Guests get individual attention, public groups are never larger than 12 people, and any diet can be catered for.
The gift vouchers can be purchased in a couple of minutes online and the recipient will have a whole year to redeem at their leisure.
“I was gifted the tour as a birthday present, and although I was excited for the experience, it completely blew any expectations I had out of the water!… The Gastrotour was simply incredible! Celia is incredibly knowledgeable and completely opened my eyes to the gastronomic delights of an area of London I had barely visited. Pure indulgence…”
“Was bought this tour as a gift and must say that I thought the whole thing was fab from start to finish… It was a morning of grazing, chatting about food, learning about the history of the market, meeting new people and finding some food gems… Would love to do another tour, just have to decide which one!”
“Three of us went on the Gastrotour as a birthday gift for one of us. It really was a lovely afternoon. Celia met us in Covent Garden…and off we went to various eateries that we would not have known about otherwise. I would totally recommend this to anyone!”
“My husband was bought this as a present - and what an excellent idea. Celia has a wealth of knowledge about the market - not only about the stall holders and produce but about the history too which made for a really interesting tour. We tested a good variety of foods and drinks and I'd recommend it to anyone…”

For general questions, please contact Celia’s PA (Cecilia Edmunds). If you have questions about private tour bookings, please contact Celia directly.
What’s the minimum number for a private group booking?
Usually 6. A group of fewer than 6 pay the same as 6.
What is the maximum number for a group booking?
Usually 12 people for Borough Market; up to 25 for some other locations. Please contact Celia to discuss.
I want to buy a gift voucher, but I’m not sure which tour the recipient would prefer; what should I do?
I offer a General Voucher which gives a choice of 3 tours (Portobello, Covent Garden, and Borough Market). You pay for the cheapest (£90) and if they choose Borough Market (£110), they make up the difference when they book - or you can pay this, if requested.
Do the gift vouchers have an expiry date?
They are good for 1 year.
Are Gastrotours suitable for people with special diets, ie vegetarians?
I do my best to accommodate any special diet, as long as I am informed in advance.
Are children under 18 allowed on the tours?
Yes, but alcohol will only be served to guests aged 18 and over. Unfortunately, I am not able to offer a discount for those not drinking.
Can I bring my child in a pram?
Yes, with advance notice.
Is it suitable for wheelchair users?
Most tours, yes. I will inform you of any awkward points to be aware of in advance.
If I am sick on the day or unable to come for some reason, can I get a refund?
Unfortunately no. You can, however, send someone in your place.
What if I have to cancel or postpone a private group booking?
For private groups, I request a deposit (usually £250), which is non-refundable due to high demand for dates. If you wish to reschedule, you must give me 3 weeks' notice, and your deposit will be carried over. I will be in touch a week before the booked date to confirm numbers and arrange payment in full.
What is your Covid-19 policy?
If a public or private tour has to be cancelled or postponed due to government-imposed restrictions, I will issue a full refund or offer rescheduling. If someone has to cancel due to Covid-19 related illness, I'll offer an opportunity to reschedule once.
