5.00Having a chef as our guide was powerful. Will's knowledge and love of great food made us feel connected to the whole experience. I'm usually pretty frugal and the ticket price seemed high, but the tour was well worth it... plus a decent tip too.

5.00The Chef Guided Food Tour was very immersive and engaging. We really enjoyed the different kinds of food that was offered on the walking food tour. Robert, our tour guide, was pleasant and professional. Be prepared to walk with some elevation changes, but that is the fun and authenticity of being among the locals. Overall, we had a wonderful time!

5.00Chef Will took us to 10 very different places around the market. He presented information about each vendor in a very entertaining way making the tour a lot of fun. Chef Eric tagged along and his tour would be equally memorable. Highly recommend taking this tour.

5.00Noah was awesome! He was super knowledgeable and had great recommendations about where to eat, grab coffee, etc. He shared what he and his wife love to get while at the market as well, and everything he recommended was awesome. I ended up going back to the market the next t day to try more of his recs. The tour itself is also great. You stop at eight different shops around the market and taste a variety of foods from fresh fruit to smoked salmon to chowder. Noah mentioned that there are lots of vendors they work with, and tours will go to different places each time. Can’t wait to do this again the next time I’m in town!
