Our guide Emunah taught us so much about all the gems which are in the Berkeley Gourmet Ghetto. We were completely stuffed but everything was so good that I had to keep sampling. In the course of just a few blocks, we tried everything from the best pastrami sandwich ever, to potato puffs, pasta, wine, cheese, pizza and chocolates. Great tour and great tour guide. Good as an introduction to the area or just because you want to indulge in some good food.

This was our second tour with Rebecca and she was wonderful again! It was a beautiful fall day and we enjoyed sampling many different items - sandwiches, soups, chocolate, wine, pizza, coffee, juice blend . . . Rebecca always has a ton of info on the history of each establishment, the food/drink we sampled, and the general history of the food scene in the area. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back and do another tour!
