Great and informative tour that was really enjoyable. Moderately paced and make sure you’re ready to walk across the market! Got to experience stands i may not have stopped at.

Chef Noah was our guide and he was filled with knowledge. On this tour you don’t sit down and you will eat your small samples staring up and in some cases in a back hallway. Food samples were ok but chef Noah was great.

Good tour with chef Robert. Very interesting insiders take on the market with a little taste of some very good food. I would recommend serving fruit on a plate or bowl or something other than placing in your hand. Other than that it was a great tour.
