We really enjoyed the food tour! 🍴 Nic did a fantastic job sharing the history of the municipal market, and the food was delicious. Definitely dishes I wouldn’t normally order, but I’m so glad I tried them. I was amazed at the biscuit making process, it was so easy! Highly recommend this tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had ab absolute great time. We learned a lot about the city and the history. I've lived in Atlanta since 1999 and I'm sad to say I've never visited the market l, however, after today I will be making the visit frequently. Kristin was amazing. She did an awesome job. One bit of advice is to bring cash for tips
Great tour for locals and tourists alike

My family and I live in Atlanta, but had not visited the market before. We chose to do this tour when my dad and stepmom came to town. We all (ages 9 to 75) had a great time. We learned lots about the history of bread and the market from our tour guide Mila, who was wonderful. This is a great tour for anyone, whether you’re visiting the city or a local looking for a fun activity.
Fantastic experience!!

This was a great tour! I’ve lived in Atlanta over 40 years and didn’t even know the Municipal Market existed. Mila was terrific - explained a lot of the history and was very friendly and helpful. We tasted jambalaya, candied yams, hoe cakes, oxtail and grits, Bahn mi hot chicken sandwiches, banana pudding, and of course we ate the biscuits we made. So much food and all was delicious! I highly recommend taking this tour and then spending time buying things at the Municipal Market. I will for sure be back!
Very good experience....
