Great tour for historical perspective of markets and finding some hidden gems amongst the market stalls - Having moved to Adelaide 3 years ago, I would go to the Adelaide Central Markets periodically, but going on the discovery tour provided a historical perspective that I found very interesting and also introduced me to a range of stalls that I had never really taken any notice of before. Being able to taste / try some of their produce / goods enabled me to determine whether I was interested in buying their goods more frequently. I have also taken interstate visitors on this tour (3 separate times over the last 12 months) to introduce them to the market and have a lovely tasting experience which they have all enjoyed. Broni the Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. She has a lovely rapport with the stall owners which makes the whole experience feel inclusive.

Great tour if you are a tourist or loval - Great tour. We are locals but learnt so much about the wonderful institution in our own backyard. I have a deeper love and appreciation for the central market- and have a couple of new faves to try for lunch!

The fresh and flavoursome taste of Central Market - A special shout out to Broni! What a fantastic tour of the Central Market she gave my cousin and I. As a ‘local’ who moved to Adelaide from Scotland a few years ago it was a great to be a tourist for the day and learn more about the market. I normally would run in, grab what I needed and leave. The opportunity to stop at stalls and taste different foods was great. I enjoyed it so much I returned to some of the stalls (the ones I could remember where they were ) to buy their produce. I will be rebooking again in the future for my visitors. Definitely value for money!

Giving context to the market. - This tour not only provides information and great sampling, but you will learn about the immigrant history of Adelaide. Without our excellent guide, we would have just drifted through the market without focus or content. Adelaide Central Market is probably one of the best quality and largest in the world.

Tastebud sensation - Brilliant tour. Our guide Steph was fabulous and very knowledgeable. Very grateful to have had the opportunity to sample some stalls that we otherwise would have walked past. Our tastebuds thank you.

Fantastic experience - Our tour guide Broni was lovely and knowledgeable, it was a memorable morning morning of fun and history and tastings . What also made my day is I remember Broni from my youth in the small town we lived in many years ago . Absolutely highly recommend Broni as an asset to the market
