Ive been on many walking tours, but tgis ine takes the cake. The instructor was knowledgeable, experienced, thoughtful and an all around pleasure. We started at the Cheeseboard Collective and ended at the same place. I was absolutely stuffed by the end of it.I didnt feel hurried or streessed about making the next stop. It was chill, educational with an awesome variety of food types as well: pastrami sando, coffee, chocolate, smoothies, cheese.. etc etc etc.. its a must try!

We did the gourmet ghetto tour of Berkeley. It ended up being a private tour as our group of six was the entire tour group. The guide was nice and showed us around and answered all questions. It was my wife’s birthday and the tour guide made sure to get us some cupcakes at the end with champagne to celebrate. It was so fun no one in our group took any pictures. I would really like to do some the other tours around the bay soon. Oh and the pastrami at Saul’s was the groups favorite dish.

So glad you could make us part of the celebration! We would love to see you on another tour soon. And, yes, the pastrami at Saul's is the best!

Had great tour with Rebecca. She is very knowledgeable about the area and the restaurants. Tastings were yummy. Overall was a great afternoon. Was a little pricey when compared to other tours I have done in New York City that provide more food for slightly more than 1/2 the cost.
