Fantastic Market History. - Katina 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 - This 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... - We 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.

Fantastic tour of the Adelaide market - I 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!

Great walking tour with Kat - We loved this! We could have just walked through the market on our own but we would have missed out on all the tasty samples, as well as our Kats stories and local insights. Wow, the produce on offer at the markets was amazing, such a range and good quality too.
