Blandina is a gem! She is obviously a well-known, & well loved, part of the community. She was warmly greeted by nearly everyone on the street. Blandina is a fountain of knowledge. She gave me a very detailed tour of North Beach. She is also very adaptive. At one point I began to not feel well. So we found a place to rest & recover while also continuing to learn about North Beach and those that live and work here! You can tell she has a great love for her neighborhood. She knows local lore and details of someone who has lived life here. I met many local store owners and tasted some amazingly delectable treats! I also learned of the history and culture of the area. The tour was much more than I expected. I enjoyed it so much that, at my insistence, we extended the day to include her Chinatown tour as well. At the end, I felt like I was a part of the neighborhood!

This tour let me see North Beach through a local's eyes. Blandina knew almost everyone in the neighborhood, I felt like we got special VIP treatment--everyone was so friendly and inviting. From walking into shops that I didn't know existed, to even trying food at places that I may have just walked past had I not been on the tour. I even had the opportunity to walk away with a little handmade souvenir that I participated in making at one of the shops! Her bright and fun flyer directly correlates with her warm and genuine personality. I know there are a lot of tour's in sf, but this one is run directly by Blandina-- you can tell that she puts her heart and soul into making sure you get the best experience possible. 10000x recommend.

The first thing I noticed when I took Blandina Farley’s Fabulous Tour of North Beach is that she’s as cute as they come, and an absolutly charming tour guide! The next obvious thing is that her tour IS fabulous - and FUN. Blandina REALLY knows North Beach, and she brings it to life for everyone fortunate enough to take her tour. I’ve lived in San Francisco for a few decades, and was introduced to North Beach soon after I arrived. I liked it so much that I moved to a little place near Washington Square about 25 years ago, and have never left. While I know North Beach quite well, I certainly know it a lot better thanks to Blandina! Whether you’re a local or a tourist, you’re sure to enjoy this excellent tour, and will almost certainly learn things about North Beach that you never knew. And you’ll meet a great bunch of people who own and run many of the small, neighborhood shops, galleries, and eating establishments. All-in-all a VERY enjoyable tour, and one you should definitely take!! Geno
