5.00Anne Snider was our tour guide and she was amazing! Loved hearing history and she had information about each place we stopped in for tastings. All food and drink on tour was great and tasted things I would not have on my own.
Great Time!

5.00Very good tour guide. Also liked all the vendors samples we enjoyed and their personal stories. It was very busy at the market that day, maybe have a better plan as to where to gather together, especially for the beginning history lesson ..or maybe just a better how, within the busy-ness of market customers. But overall the tour was very well done.
Fun, informative and delicious

5.00The restaurants and shops are unique. There is a growing diverse culture, and plethora of new exciting start-up restaurants due to a program that encourages entrepreneurship. The food is great at each of the tasting venues, and the empanadas at Chacabanas are excellent! This is definitely an experience you don't want to miss!
Fun experience

5.00This was a great experience learning so much about the area from long ago all the way to today. Mary was a fantastic guide. The tastings covered a range of foods/drinks.

5.00A couple of our bites were really good and gave us ideas to incorporate in our own kitchens. However the environment was really loud except for where we had an inside more private area which was the case in only the meat store and the tea shop.
A fun experience

5.00It was so interesting to hear all of the history behind the market! I especially loved when our tour guide Anne showed us the tile art work in the center and explained the idea behind it! All of the food was so yummy and it was very cool hearing from each business about what they offer, their story, and the inspiration behind all of the food we tried! Would definitely go again!
