Fabulous food tour and guide!

This is one of the best food tours we have ever experienced. Our guide, Bob, was absolutely amazing, and was a source of so much history. The food stops along the way were outstanding. We were able to sit, instead of standing, while he told us historical facts, and as senior citizens, that was much appreciated Bob was very conscientious. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this tour!

Both the food and history served in tasty bites

Really enjoyed our tour with charming guide, Bob. As natives, we know the market basics, but loved learning more about the history of the market, esp with historic pictures. And the food tastings were fantastic, with generous portions! Would def recommend to others.

tasty

Chip was an excellent guide who shared a lot of information about the Market. We sampled a wide variety of foods, both savory and sweet. It was an enjoyable outing and worth the price.

Fun & Informative

Bob was amazing. He worked hard to keep all of us informed. My husband and I are elderly, and he found places for us to sit whenever possible. It was raining most of the of the time, but he was thoughtful about helping us stand under the awnings when possible. We had a great time and learned so much about the history of the market.
