Adelaide Central Market Tour: Reviews

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best food tours ever !! We have travelled extensively and had food tours in Singapore , Copenhagen ,Bologna, Delhi and San Francisco to name a few but Broni’s tour of the market was exceptional ! The place is a food lovers dream and Broni was so knowledgable about the history of the market and had arranged tastings that were different and delicious . The market stall holders we met were so passionate about their product and we tasted a whole range of local foods and some amazing indigenous ingredients which as Brits we had never seen before . Cannot recommend highly enough - just do it !

Fantastic experience: Our tour was an 'off train experience' on our Indian Pacific rail journey last month. We loved it. Bridie was able to provide some fascinating history about some of the market stallholders that go back generations with tasty sample treats along the way. Our market tour was well paced, fun and informative.

Negative experience: This tour is expensive + was underwhelming. Booking for a solo traveller could not be done online (not sure why) and it took 5+ attempts before I received confirmation. The tour was $89 and you don’t get much for that. By comparison South Melbourne market charge $35 + includes a jute bag, a tea towel and we had an oyster, prawn, French cheese, pastries, nuts + fruit. Sadly, this tour needs to lift its game.

Fantastic experience: We had been through the night before to just take a quick look at the Central Markets and were curious about what could be found out about the markets. Wow, knocked over. Bronwyn, our guide, was informative, clear and concise, knowledgable and enthusiastic about all aspects of the markets. And there were some absolute gems to find out about the history and current state of the markets. Lots I would like to say, though I should leave that for the guides. Well worth the look, you get samples, exercise and some insight to some wonderful history and beginnings of local businesses and the markets.

Fantastic experience: Wir haben die ADELAIDE CENTRAL MARKET CLASSIC DISCOVERY TOUR gebucht. Wir waren an diesem Tag nur zwei Paare, die an der Tour teilgenommen haben, sodass wir eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre hatten. Der Guide hat uns interessante Einblicke in die Geschichte des Marktes und der verschiedenen Stände gegeben. Außerdem haben wir einige Kostproben erhalten, die wir sonst nicht unbedingt probiert hätten. Das ganze wurde wirklich liebevoll durchgeführt. Morgens ist der Markt noch relativ ruhig. Später wird es etwas wuseliger. Bei einer größeren Gruppe könnten wir uns vorstellen, dass man dann nicht mehr alle Informationen des Guides ohne Probleme mitbekommt.

Fantastic experience: Incredible tour! Really unique way to learn about the history of the traders and sample their food. Very glad we did the tour first and then explored on our own rather than the other way around. One of the highlights of our trip

Fantastic experience: Very informative tour that makes me fall in love with central market after living in Adelaide for more than 15 years. Should have come to the tour long time ago!!! Cheryl is very knowledgeable and given us lots of insight regarding the history and highlights of the market and stalls.

Positive experience: I enjoyed visiting the Adelaide central market recently and had a very informative tour leader. All the produce was fresh with a huge variety of everything including meats, seafood, wine and cheese plus so much more. I would do my shopping there but car parking is the biggest problem. The costs are too high and one needs a car to shop especially when you aren’t living close by. Because of that reason it’s not practical to shop at the market unfortunately.

Positive experience: We enjoyed the tour and information. We enjoyed Jenny the effervescent tour guide. We would like to suggest that you avail yourselves of tastings of more "normal" food for the tours. It would be nice to end with a small coffee tasting and include samples from Charlesworth nuts and the Providore stall. Most on our tour declined the plants from the Something Wild, the Mushroom Shop and the Metwust Man and those of us who did try it ended up spitting it out. For the prices people pay, it would be great to enjoy these little snippets of food! Thankyou.

Fantastic experience: Today we did the lunch tour at Adelaide's Central Market with guide Matthew from Food Tours Australia and another couple. What a fantastic experience, Matthew was very knowledgeable about the history of the markets and all the different foods on offer. During the tour we chatted with stall owners about their produce . mostly all local food. We also had tastings of many of the different foods , from yoghurt to Turkish delight. It was a true food experience. To finish it off Mark supplied lunch which was a delicious panini, cake and bottle of local wine. Highly recommended.
