This is a very worthwhile walking tour. I would say there is more focus on history, than food. We learned a lot and had fun along the way. The stop at the Mona Lisa Restaurant for charcuterie and Golden Boy for pizza were great choices. I highly recommend the tour!

Joseph’s knowledge of the history of the North Beach area meant he brought to life things we wouldn’t have seen or found. Food was a great slice of American-Italian culture too!

They cancelled the tour the day before without any explanation, so I did not get to go. It was a disappointment as I had little opportunity to make other plans
