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.

Our tour guide Rebecca was wonderful! She used to work in the neighborhood so she was able to provide more details than the regular tour guide. The quality of food was delicious and varied from different cultures and flavors.
