Had a FANTASTIC time with our tour guide, Carrie, on the Berkeley Gourmet Ghetto Excursion. I went to school at Cal, but didn't explore this area much and learned a lot with Carrie! The tour is around a few blocks, but there's a lot to see and Carrie answered all our questions in addition to prepping all the stops so that they were ready to serve us food when we arrived. Definitely come hungry - I was stuffed by the end of the tour!

I had such a great time doing this food tour! Would highly recommend the North Berkeley Gourmet Ghetto tour. If you can get Carrie as your guide, even better! This was such a great experience and the food was all amazing. The stops were all great (Berkeley is a great place to walk around overall) and loved the historical/learning aspect of the whole thing.

I've just moved to the East Bay and this was a great way to learn more about my new neighborhood. Rebecca was a fantastic guide with lots of insider knowledge, and everything we ate was delicious.
