This was such a fun way to see the Market. Carolyn is your friend from the minute you meet her. You can tell she loves the stories, history and her community. I learned so much and now feel like a bit of an insider now as I walk through the market.

This was a wonderful experience, and so much fun. I was part of a great group of people, none who I knew, but with Carolyn we became fast friends. Great stories, great history behind the stories. Carolyn has a way of keeping you engaged with every tail and with every turn there is another mystery to discover. I highly recommend her tour.
