Fun with food and history! - This experience was the perfect blend of history, food tasting, exploring, and hands-on fun! Our guides, Kristin and Javi, were terrific and full of great information. All of the food was tasty, and getting to make biscuits was the cherry on top of a great experience! We enjoyed them for breakfast the next morning.

Amazing Experience - Took the Historic Food Market Food Tour and Biscuit Making class with Kristen and Javi! They were amazing guides; very organized, very knowledgeable. They make our big group feel like we'd known each other forever. Not only did we get to try super yummy food, we got to learn about the history of the food, the building, and the area! Highly recommend!
