Local culture and (if you’re lucky) a serenade by Joy - Our guide made all the difference! Learned about local history and all kinds of goodies about bread! Ask for Joy and if you’re lucky she may sing for you too!

Do this activity; it’s so fun! - This tour was everything I wanted it to be and more. I love visiting markets wherever I go to see what day-to-day life is like for folks. The Municipal Market is not only a great place to experience that but also has great historical significance. Thanks to our guide Jay for educating us and teaching us how to make biscuits! Highly, highly recommend!

A wonderful way to learn about the historic history of bread, the Women’s Club of Atlanta and the Municipal Market! - I’ve been visiting Atlanta to see family for many years. This time to visit with my daughter. Looking for something interesting to do together and found this Biscuit Tour in historic Municipal Market. Great find! Our tour guide Javi made it especially enjoyable with his knowledge and general enthusiasm to share it with us. All the food tastings were delicious and very fun to make our own biscuits. We will definitely recommend it to our extended Atlanta friends and family.

Loved the experience. - Was a very interesting and unexpected food tour. We didn’t know what exactly to expect and enjoyed the history of the market and about bread. The best part was the biscuit making class. Javier did a great job.
