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.

My friend Mary and I had a blast on the walking food tour in Berkeley on Sunday, April 22, 2018. Rebecca was our guide. She is so energetic and a true Foodie. Her knowledge of the area and the eateries were excellent. Each restaurant was unique in it's own way. Having the chefs greet us and explain how they prepared their food and drink, along with some history of the establishment was delightful. There was never a dull moment and never any food that wasn't excellent. A fabulous tour for all.
