Joseph was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, personable and just an all around fun guide. The Food Tour was great for my friend and I because as we're learning about a part of the city and walking the food breaks kept us energized.

Our very knowledgeable guide took us on a fun fact filled walk in North Beach. There were 3 stops for food. One for antipasto at a restaurant (You could order wine or beer for an extra charge ) A slice of amazing pizza from a takeout window that we ate in the park while listening to the history of North Beach. Last stop was for creamy gelato. We left with knowing interesting facts about the neighborhood and full from delicious food.
