The Mona Lisa was the best food experience and Joseph was a great guide. We learned a lot about North Beach area.

This was the best walking tour we’ve ever been on. Our two hour tour turned into a fabulous 4 hours of history of San Francisco and North Beach and learning about the culture of this friendly neighborhood. Our guide Joseph had grown up in the area and knew it well. He was also well versed in California history and local lore. We had a delicious Antipasta at a local North Beach eatery and finished our tour with an espresso and pastry from a quaint Italian Bakery. Joseph gave us great recommendations for dinner after which we stopped at City Lights bookstore and picked up a couple of paperbacks’ some new, some old. We would go on any tour led by Joseph!! You will not regret choosing this walking tour.
