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!
