Unfortunately, I was unable to attend last minute, but my colleagues came back with such fantastic things to say. Everyone had a great time and said that all of the food was delicious and that they learned a lot - they're still talking about all of their goodies a week later. So bummed that I missed out!

The tour was fantastic and so much more than we expected. So much food. And we learned several new and interesting things about the city. This would be a great experience for tourists as well as locals.

I have been to little Italy north beach multiple times but I have never experienced it like this. Blandina is truly a gem and shared so much information I had no idea about. I would 100% recommend doing this tour even if you have been to the area, you have never seen it like this.

Our guide was actually Lauren. She did a great job! She made it fun and interesting. We got way more food than expected (which was great!). We gave her a money tip.

Brian gave us a wonderful tour of China Town and North Beach Italian cuisine. His knowledge of San Francisco history enhanced the intrigue of the culinary tour. His relationships with locals gave us access to the owners of restaurants and shops with authentic local foods. The most unique part of the tour was sampling healthy teas from China. Brian had a tasteful sense of humor and brought insights from growing up in San Francisco. I would highly recommend BrianвЂ™s tour. You will laugh, learn history and enjoy delightful local Chinese and Italian foods and treats.

Marvin was an excellent tour guide. We learned a lot and the food was delicious. However, we ate indoors at one restaurant, and while vaccinations are required for indoor dining in San Francisco, no one checked. Our group was 11 people, all seated together indoors, and neither the guide nor the restaurant checked to see if people could provide proof of vaccination.

LaurenвЂ™s tour of Lafayette gave great insight to the East Bay. I loved learning about the olive oil and vinegar, the sweetness of the cupcake shop and the smoky authentic flavor of the Mexican food. She gave us tidbits of history as we walked and was so mindful of guest's needs. IвЂ™d definitely recommend her food tour due to her enthusiasm and her connection with the local community.

I loved this tour throughout one of San FranciscoвЂ™s most popular neighborhoods. I felt it was a great mix of history, art and of course outstanding food. Kara taught me so much about the cityвЂ™s history but in an interesting and engaging way.

Isabella did a great job with our large group. The tour was laid out well, and took us to many places. I would have liked a little more background on the history / context of some of the food things we experienced, but it was overall really fun.

Blandina showcased incredible expertise in the local area! Throughout the tour, she immersed us in North Beach's culture, revealing hidden historical anecdotes and iconic landmarks we hadn't known before. Her culinary recommendations were great, taking us on a delectable journey to savor some wonderful North Beach eats. Alongside her warm and welcoming demeanor, Blandina's passion for the city made the experience unforgettable, creating camaraderie among our group. Definitely recommend!

The food tour on Mission with Dave was very pleasant, having lived in San Francisco a few years ago, we rediscovered the Mission district a little more. From the Burrito, taqueria, little Cuban shop, the oldest bakery in Mission and the best for the end the Chocolate shop, we really enjoyed the food and Dave made us discover the Murals, having knowledge about the Artists and the stories told on these walls, it was very interesting as well as his presentation of the Architecture of the houses of this district. A very good experience with Dave that I recommend without hesitation. (We had a gift card and we included the tip with the money left on the gift card)
