Must do tour - Bianca, the owner, did the tour of Little Italy. She was entertaining knowledgeable and make the tour fun. Really got to know the other members of the group. It felt like a family walking through Little Italy vs just a tour. Food at each stop was delicious and bountiful, much more than you would expect from a 'tasting tour'. Must do tour when you are in San Diego.

Don't Miss This Tour - Ben did an outstanding job explaining the many facets of Historic Little Italy. He was interested in getting to know us and answered all our questions during the tour. The restaurant selections were awesome...Soluto's, Mr. Moto, Queensland, and a Gelateria with more flavors than I have ever seen. The 4:30 start time was great, as there was some street parking and the smells from the many restaurants in the neighborhood were so enticing! We live locally, so look forward to going back again, and taking friends along with us for another repeat tour.

Fantastic way to spend an evening in Little Italy. - Magda, our guide, was great. Had a friendly group of 8 total with us. And the small size was nice. Food was delicious. Pasta, pizza and a yummy slider, with gelato to finish it off. Really fun tour.
