Meet your small group at a designated spot in Queen Victoria Market. This historic landmark, affectionately known as “Vic Market” or “Queen Vic,” has spanned two city blocks since its establishment in 1878.

Five days a week, vendors set up shop in the laneways. Organic produce bursts from crates labeled by region, and stands overflow with honey, spices, and other local goods. Pates, cheeses, and dips fill Deli Hall, also known as the Dairy Produce Hall. Around every corner, there’s something to see, and your guide will highlight details easy to miss in the bustling market during the 2-hour tour.

While most of the market is filled with tables and stands, you can also find specialty shops. Gourmet breads are sold at the bustling M&G Caiafa, and nuts, dried fruits, and grains abound. For a sweet treat, head to the American Doughnut Kitchen, where you can indulge in the famous hot jam doughnut. For handmade pasta of all shapes and sizes, visit the Traditional Pasta Shop.

At the end of your guided tour, enjoy a fruit platter!

• Coffin Bay oysters
• Hot jam doughnuts
• Grilled peppered kangaroo
• Pickled octopus
