INSANELY FUN & DELICOUS WAY TO EXPERIENCE LITTLE ITALY IN SAN DIEGO - OUTSTANDING & PERSONABLE guide ADRIANA (from an Italian-American family) made last evening super special for our group of friends with her wonderful personality, sweet family heritage, and fascinating historical knowledge of originating families of Little Italy, a vivacious, gorgeous & fun San Diego destination. She organized several INSANELY DELICIOUS, reserved mini-meals in the most authentic eateries for us. The tour was extremely interesting (safe too), and everyone enjoyed the culinary choices and special cocktails. It is WELL WORTH THE PRICE for such a unique & safe experience. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR AS WELL AS GUIDE ADRIANA!

Good history tour but no Italian Dishes - The history part of the tour was great. The food was disappointing. Visiting 4 italian restaurants I was expecting to try new dishes that I've never tasted. None of our sample dishes contained pasta! No pasta in Little Italy!??? Really? At the first stop our meal was potatoes. The second stop was rice. The third stop was a tiny piece of cake and the last was gelato. So so disappointed.
