What to expect
Your guide meets you at the market entrance and walks a manageable loop through the precinct, pausing at hand-picked stalls for bite-sized tastings. Expect to learn vendor names and the reasons certain families or communities gravitated toward particular trades. The tasting portions are modest—meant to awaken your appetite, not fill you. You'll handle produce, chat with stallholders and get a sense of how the market operates beyond opening hours. The pace is leisurely; plenty of time to ask questions and absorb stories.
Good to know
Bring a reusable bag or small backpack—you'll want to shop after the tour ends, and your guide will pass along vendor discounts. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free requirements can be accommodated with prior notice. If only one person books, the operator may reschedule. Public transport links the market; all areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible.
