How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
While you’re in the city, join a local San Francisco host who can’t wait to explore the city with you, and help you discover a taste of the real San Francisco in between your meetings, before your flight, or during your free evenings!
Just let us know how much time you have, and what you’d like to spend your time doing. If you’ve got an evening to spare, you could join your local San Francisco host and enjoy some drinks in a rooftop bar in the hip Mission District, or go one better and head to Fort Funston where you can watch a sunset from cliffs plunging into the ocean.
Instead of eating alone, you could discover San Francisco’s incredible cuisine after your day of meetings; let your host introduce you to their city’s food truck culture at Off the Grid at Fort Mason, a cool gathering of food trucks, discover fusion foods in Chinatown (which also happens to be the birthplace of the fortune cookie!) or Latin flavors in the Mission. Beats room service!
If all you have is a few hours in between meetings, your local San Francisco host will create an experience that suits the time you have available, and the area you’re in; be it visiting Pier 39 or getting that all-important glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge.

We absolutely loved our food tour in San Francisco with Maria. We had just come from New York and did two food tours there . This tour was so much better. Our two twenty year olds ( who love food) were not so keen initially to come with us on this one - comment was too much talking and walking and not enough eating . They loved Maria's food tour and so did we. Too many stops to count . Maria was so lovely and has such a passion for China Town and North Beach/little Italy restaurants. She also took us to places we would not have found ourselves .

Michael was a fantastic guide! He knew so much about Chinatown and North Beach! We were fortunate enough to visit a temple on New Year's and ate the most delicious pasta in North Beach. Truly a memorable experience!

We had a fantastic time with Michael! He provided us great experiences with culture and food in these iconic neighborhoods. We felt so fortunate to visit a temple on Chinese New Year and the pasta we ate in Little Italy was amazing!

We loved listening to Maria tell about the history of the restaurants we visited. She has lived here her whole life so she knew exactly where to go. We could have spent more time with her, she was great!

Wonderful experience with the family. Maria was great! We would have never found any of the little spots she took us, and we were able to skip the lines! We appreciate the tour of the food, and the local knowledge. Thanks again!
