Definitely go on a Saturday when the market is in full swing, it was pretty amazing! Food stops were great, make sure to ask about spice level of food before you bite in lol. Great location for a food tour!

Adrian was lots of fun. He is very knowledgeable about this tour and San Francisco. After our cruise we came back to one of the tour stops - Senior Sisig for another one of their sandwiches. Good food.

What a great day!! We met our tour guide, Paul, in front of the Ferry Building and he already had our first little snack waiting for us. Paul shared some of the history of the ferry building and San Francisco. We met the farmers and chefs at several booths and heard their remarkable experiences. We ate farm fresh tomatoes, freshly made tacos on handmade tortillas and then we went inside the ferry building. Inside the ferry building we had frozen hot chocolate (yum) and Arabian Street Food wraps. Delicious!!! We finished our food fest with Jamaican patties which are similar to an emapanada. It was a great day and we highly recommend this tour. We hope you get Paul as your guide!
