market tour

Shopping district walkabout

A market tour is a guided visit through a local market—typically a food market, farmers market, or bazaar—where participants learn about regional ingredients, cooking traditions, and food culture.

Popular with tourists and culinary enthusiasts, market tours often include tastings and may end with a cooking class: The market tour through Oaxaca included samples of mole and mezcal.
