The F Factor Adelaide Food Tour

This guided Adelaide food tour is a good pick if you want to get a feel for the city through its local food rather than just ticking off sights. It focuses on South Australian specialties, with a guide sharing the stories behind the products and why locals grow up eating them. Along the way you’ll try a mix of sweet and savoury favourites including chocolate, nuts, iced coffee, frog cake and fritz, then finish with a bakery lunch from the market. You’ll also get a surprise dessert and a few extra goodies to take with you.

The tour runs for around two hours and is geared towards tasting as you go. Your guide leads you through Adelaide’s food scene with stops centred on locally made products and well-known local snacks. Expect a mix of familiar treats and more regional foods that might be new if you’re visiting from interstate or overseas. Lunch is included from a popular bakery in the market, with a meat pie, pasty or similar item of your choice. There is also time to make purchases at the shops visited if you want to take anything away. Vegetarians can be catered for if requested when booking. On Wednesdays, around 70% of the market is usually open, so the experience still runs but with fewer stallholders.
