Chef John was excellent! I had visited the Market before, but learned so much about during the tour. I never knew how much there was to see and the history of the market was fascinating. Worth every penny!!!!

Loved learning history and eating some really excellent food. Chef Eric was informative, funny and personable. We ended up buying more cheese, jam and chowder to bring home to our kids.
