I was recently on vacation in SF and after doing some research on what to do in the area I found this wonderful food tour in Oakland. It was an amazing experience overall. I got to explore great restaurants, I learned a lot about black owned business in the area and I met wonderful people. Tiffany, our host, was nice, knowledgeable and very funny. I will definitely do it again in my next trip to The Bay. Thank you!

Aw man, I was born and raised in Oakland and I did not expect this, Black Food Tour was phenomenal!! My fiancé and I were both born and raised in the town and a few of these restaurants we’ve been to before, but to learn the stories behind them was amazing. Rich history, empowerment, black excellence at its pinnacle. The food was smackin ( plenty of good food) our tour guide Tiff did an excellent job explaining the history of our town. we can’t wait to do the food tour again and experience what new and exciting cuisines the town has to offer and meet all the amazing people that put it all together!

Thank you for the feedback, Randy! Glad the two of you enjoyed yourselves. It makes it 10x more special that you both, being from Oakland, were able to experience these restaurants in a new way. Thanks for joining!

Black Food Tour was awesome! We got to eat delicious food at authentic restaurants while learning the rich stories of local spots. We also learned about some beautiful murals in downtown Oakland. I can't wait to go on another tour.
