It was a great tour with our guide, Joshua. I was surprised how much food was included. I will be back for more!

I organized this event as a team building activity and we had the most incredible time. It was seamlessly organized and just the right balance of information with all the delectable foods. We work right across the street from the Ferry Building and yet many people mentioned that they hadn’t tried some the spots that we visited. It was a casual, low-key way to connect with my colleagues and wonderful exposure to the gems hidden within the Building. I will definitely recommend this tour and especially Tori (she made everything come alive).

We enjoyed this food tour – especially meeting the strawberry grower and tasting the different varieties. Overall, we felt there were too many sweet tastes and not enough savory items. We did a bit of shopping in the Ferry Building after the tour.

I worked with Edible Excursions to schedule our staff post-holiday party. Amy was our contact. She was so helpful, great communication & timely. Amy took care of all the details which made it perfect & easy for me to work with. Joshua was our tour guide for the SF Ferry Building. He was so delightful, knowledgeable & FUN our entire group couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had! I plan on scheduling another tour with Edible Excursions very soon!

Tori was our tour guide and she was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had such a wonderful time. Our 12 and 16 year olds loved the experience just as much as my husband and I. Not only did Tori take us to the great foodie spots, she also gave us a history lesson on the Ferry Building and Farmers Market. Some of the treats we had: breads, cheeses, fresh seasonal fruit, and chocolate. Highly recommend this tour! Be sure to come hungry :)
