    Our guide was very knowledgeable about the wide variety of foods at the market and the history and its founder. The foods we tried were varied and delicious. We had a wonderful time!

    It was interesting to explore Rusty's Market with a very informative guide, Peter. We learnt about the history of the market as well as information about the various foods we tasted. We were even introduced to some tropical fruits/ vegetables we had never seen before. We tasted antipasto olives & peppers/ tropical fruit/ German sausage/ Spanakipita and an unusual coconut dessert in its shell. A most enjoyable tour.

    In Colour! The one thing you notice when entering is the vast array of colour! Seriously, this Tour surpassed my expectations. Paul, made sure my companion was well catered for as she has several food intolerances. We are going to book another tour. Thank you Paul!

    Our friendly and knowledgable tour guide provided an excellent overview of the markets and its history as we grazed our way from food stall to food stall. The range and quality of produce from the local area is amazing.
