5.00Kat was amazing. My tour ended up being a one in one experience. Kat was on time, And very friendly. She knew so much about the markets, she knew the providers and was welcomed by them. She was polite and professional and when I learned her family had (in the past) market stalls it made the tour even more inclusive. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour - it was one of the highlights of my time in Adelaide.
Glad we didn’t miss this tour

5.00Katina was very responsive to our tour request and we had a great time. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the market and it was great to meet some of the providores, try some samples and shop later using some of our discounts.
A wonderful visit.

5.00Katina was such an Informative guide, we saw and heard heaps of information about the History of the Adelaide Markets. History of the Shops like the Lollie shop and generations of family that started it and kept it open. About the Mushroom Man and Delicious Cheese and Wine Stores and Delicious Milks. Incredible information on when it first opened. Katinas Grandparents had a fruit shop there, so she knew a lot of History. Amazing!!! Thank You Katina Thoroughly Enjoyable
Best hour of your day

5.00This was one of the best hours that we spent in Adelaide. Katina is well versed in the history of the Market and many of the vendors. I highly recommend it as it also gives visitors up close exposure to the kindness and friendliness of the people who work there.
We had a lovely morning...

5.00We had a lovely morning with Kat. She was friendly, very informative and spoke clearly about the history of the markets and her family connections to it. Samples were great and she appears to have a great relationship with the vendors. We would definitely do one of her other tours.

5.00I was looking for a tour in the Central Market but most places only took bookings for at least two people. Travelling solo that wasn't an option for me but Katina had no problem at all which basically gave me a solo tour! Her knowledge and perfect connection to the market is incredible, the bits and pieces to try were delicious and the coupons for some discounts after the tour came in handy as well. All in all a great experience that I would definitely recommend!
