The tour guide was extremely outgoing, friendly, and professional! She made sure everyone in the group felt welcome, included, and aware of the history behind the market and food. She did an excellent job giving instructions during the baking portion of the tour.

Don't eat too soon before this event. We enjoyed it. Jessica was a great host. However the time of the event was not ideal. It started at 5:30 and most of the vendors quit at 5:00. Really enjoyed the biscuit
making.

Glenn was our Tour guide and he did an excellent job! He provided vegetarian options for my hubby and gave everyone unique options that we normally would not have tried on our own.
He gave enough history to please the adults, but also keep the kiddos attention. He explained everything well and did great showing us how to make biscuits! We are so glad we chose this Tour. My daughter (age 11) said this was her favorite food tour we've done. We've been on food tours all over the world, so that means a lot. Great job Glenn!

Very fun- we got to learn the history of the market and try foods that we wouldn't have ordered on our own! Everything was tasty & we had a great time making our own biscuits. Our tour guide was great :)

Take this tour! History, food, fun, friends, and that biscuit-making class! Nic was maybe the best tour guide I’ve ever gotten the pleasure of interacting with. He’s informative and fun, and how does he remember everyone’s names like that?? 10 out of 10!

We really enjoyed the food tour! 🍴 Nic did a fantastic job sharing the history of the municipal market, and the food was delicious. Definitely dishes I wouldn’t normally order, but I’m so glad I tried them. I was amazed at the biscuit making process, it was so easy! Highly recommend this tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Though it's 2 hrs, time flew by. Mila's presentation was informative, interesting and engaging. The food tasting was like a 4 course meal and biscuit making easy and fun! If you have any hesitation, I say Go For It!!

We had ab absolute great time. We learned a lot about the city and the history. I've lived in Atlanta since 1999 and I'm sad to say I've never visited the market l, however, after today I will be making the visit frequently. Kristin was amazing. She did an awesome job. One bit of advice is to bring cash for tips

It was interesting history about the market and Atlanta. The food was good and the guide Glenn was fun! We enjoyed visiting vendors within the market. The biscuit making class was enjoyable as well.
Patricia_G, Aug 2025
We enjoyed it because we had an older person with us and there wasn’t a lot of walking and it was all indoors so the rain did not stop us. We also loved the hands on part of the tour making our own biscuits.
Nicholas_O, Aug 2025

Antonio_W, Jun 2025
We really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about Atlanta history.. Ariel was a great guide who was very knowledgeable and fun to tour with.
Jane_P, Apr 2025
It was enjoyable walking around the Market, learning its history and sampling great food along the way! The biscuit making was easier than I expected snd the results were spectacular! It would have been nice to have a proper container to put the remaining hot biscuit’s in to keep them fresh! The small paper bag was inferior at keeping them from getting smooshed!
Rusty_W, Apr 2025
It was fun. It was very informative. I’ve made biscuits before but they were never this good.
Kristen made our day a fun one.
Elda_R, Apr 2025
What a fun experience for our family while visiting Atlanta. Nic was an amazing guide/teacher and his enthusiasm and knowledge was key to our 5star rating. The food during the tour was delicious, and the historical market a cool thing to visit. The biscuit making class was also quite the treat, a new skill I'll definitely repeat many times!
Highly recommend for all ages, we had teenagers to grandparents in our group, all loved it.
