The best of Little Italy - Isabella was a wonderful guide for this awesome food tour. She’s an adorable local woman who showed us the best that Little Italy has to offer. We hit 7 different food places starting with coffee and pastries then moved onto some delicious savory “appetizers” if you will before wandering around and learning about some art, architecture, history, and some lore. We even dipped into China Town for a quick moment as the two neighborhoods border each other. We finished the tour with a lovely pizza that we all could barely finish we were so full. I highly recommend this fun adventure. I will do the China Town tour next. Thank you Isabella!

Worth it! - It was a great tour that included lots of tasty food and interesting sites. Andre was a fantastic guide. It was 3 hours and roughly 2 miles of walking. There’s lots to see so don’t dilly dally! We saw a lot of the city and ate a lot of good food. Definitely come hungry. Andre is very informative and very good at what he does. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking about it. Unfortunately I was so busy taking pictures of the city I forgot pictures of the food!

A tour not to be missed and repeated. - Very informative, everything we ate and drank was fantastic even things we nominally don’t enjoy were excellent. The surprise visit to see an acrobatic circus rehearsal was wonderful 1/2 our group went to the afternoon performance after tour. Brian was very enthusiastic and entertaining.

Italian Food - It was fun and there was a lot to see. We went the day after Thanksgiving and many places were close or opening late. We did go back the next day to have a second sandwich at the deli because we couldn’t stop thinking about the mozzarella and pesto sauce. Very good food!

Memorable and delicious experience! - We thoroughly enjoyed our walk through Little Italy and North Beach! Our guide Cynthia was knowledgeable and we learned a lot of things we didn’t know (even as California natives!) The food was fresh and delectable! Our favorites were the cappuccino, salami sandwich, Golden Boy Pizza and of course the fudge! Highly recommend this tour.
