I have been on many food tours and most of them are an incredible way to get to know the city. As it happens, I've been living in the Bay Area for nearly 15 years and wanted to do something unique with my husband for the afternoon - we've not spent much time in this part of town. My expectation is that the tour guide knows the places we visit inside an out. Usually they have some type of an arrangement with the establishment - saved seats, pre-ordered menus, so that we don't have to wait in line, or try to get a table. I can do that on my own. I honestly barely understood what we paid for in this case. The tour guide is a lovely person - but my expectations were much higher.

The tour started on time and it was just my sister and I on the tour so very intimate. I had been to North Beach before so this tour was great. The pasta was AMAZING!
