Latest reviews from our guests

    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!
