Who's in a better position to make you discover a neighborhood than someone who has lived here for years? Blandina is the BEST tour guide I could have had. She knows everything about everything; the people, the places, and the places that used to exist as well. Everyone knows her, so you'll be seen as a VIP by her side! She is literally an encyclopedia! But not a boring one. Like a super colorful encyclopedia that makes you laugh. Thanks to her, I could truly feel the soul of North Beach. She introduced me to wonderful people, workers, store owners, and succeeded in making me feel close to them and their history. Every person was truly committed to making you feel welcome and part of the experience. She showed me what it was like to live in this vibrant neighborhood years ago, and how lovely it still is today. I STRONGLY recommend her tour (and the food is DELICIOUS!!!). You will not be disappointed! An unforgettable experience with a guide you can't find anywhere else :)

Blandina Farley’s tour of North Beach was fabulous ! We contacted her last minute and she was very accommodating for us. She’s very knowledgeable of the restaurants , history and culture in and around North Beach. Blandina was charming and knew almost everyone in the neighborhood ! I would highly recommend this tour!

We took Blandina's tour of North Beach today and although we have lived in SF for almost three years, we discovered new and interesting parts of the community we would have missed otherwise. We went to a fascinating metalwork and jewelry shop where one could make a commemorative Burning Man "coin", we visited a leatherworks shop which makes beautiful custom shoes and clothing, a wonderful pastry shop with delicious Italian pastries, the national shrine of St Francis of Assisi, and an Italian pottery and ceramics store. She also pointed out the unique street art features in the area. This tour was a great deal of fun and a wonderful way to experience and enjoy this part of San Francisco.
