Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Book a tour from the Book Your Tour button on the group's tours page. Bookings run through Beyond the Bell Tours..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
The group's tour page says a tour takes two hours and covers less than a mile on South 9th Street, led by a local community guide. The booking page lists 90 minutes, so check the length when you book. You hear the market's history and stories, use a free digital tour app with old photos, and see murals, updated produce stands, and light boxes.
Tips for your first visit
