Awesome Tour of Granville Market - Wonderful food tour with Lydia through Granville Market. We went through 14 stops of delicious food, so definitely come hungry. Loved the descriptions and the choices of food - our 12 yo and 15 yo also enjoyed it. Great way to see the market for the first time. Thank you!

VIP All The Way! - Highly recommend this experience to navigate this world-class food market, get inside scoop on the vendors while tasting some of the best Granville has to offer. I wasn’t sure tastings would suffice for lunch, but by the time we were done, I was certainly full! Our guide Michael was fun and kept us on schedule throughout our tour. He was intimately knowledgeable about the vendors and which foods would get through customs easily (our group was based in Dallas, Texas.) The market was jam packed for Father’s Day but we found ways to get outside for our tastings in the sunshine. This is a very fun way to spend the day!

Market Magic - Anjela was great. I appreciated that as a non-meat eater- she accommodated that. I liked her enthusiasm and Makala was informative as well. The instructions I received were helpful to find the group. I wish we had had some chocolate samples.

Wonderful event with coworkers! - I had a wonderful time on the market tour! I went with coworkers as we were in town for a meeting. Mack was our tour guide and was outstanding. He was so knowledgeable and engaging and went above and beyond to make sure that we were having a great time. He was so organized and efficient as we made our way through the busy market. The food was delicious! It was an excellent team bonding event as we got to learn about the history of the market while mingling. The food had great variety and the portions were generous. Thank you to Mack and the team for hosting us!
