What To Expect

The experience will be fully personalized to your taste. In such a culturally diverse city as this, it’s no surprise that San Francisco is home to a kaleidoscope of flavors, hailing from China, Korea, Mexico, Italy and pretty much everywhere else in between. One of our food-obsessed local San Fran hosts is ready to take you from Asia to Europe and back to North America in just 3 hours during this culinary experience.

Union Square

Enjoy 3 hours with your host, who will share with you some of the tastes that come together to make San Francisco so unique

Chinatown

Who knew that you could travel around the world so fast? We suggest a zip through the oldest Chinatown in North America to sample authentic dim sum like Shanghai dumplings and steamed bbq pork buns, and even enjoy some time at the Fortune Cookie Factory.

Little Italy

Stroll through Little Italy where families have been baking bread and making salami to traditional recipes for generations, taste classic Italian-American dishes and learn about the area’s history.

Mission District

Depending on your taste, you can choose to stop by the locals’ favorite taqueria - there’s always a queue, but you’ll have a freshly baked doughnut in hand for the wait!

Pier 39

Get recommendations for more places to eat, drink (and be merry) during your stay

We really enjoyed our tour guide Maria, however, it wasn't quite the tour we were expecting. Maybe I should have been more explicit in our survey. We spent most of the time in the Ferry Building, then moved on to a few stops in the North Shore (Italian) area. I would have enjoyed visiting more areas of the city rather than multiple eateries within the Ferry Building. We didn't stop in China town, but the description of the tour made it sound like this was a major part of the tour.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed Maria's company. I completely understand your expectations, and I’ll make sure to pass this along so future experiences can be more in line with what you're looking for. Hopefully, you'll get a chance to explore those other areas next time!

Unfortunately I can not give a glowing review.. perhaps our guide was not familiar with the food ..but our experience was more “history of San Francisco “ related than food. My husband and I have taken many food tours and this was not as advertised. We did not have “tastings” we had 2 meals. The guide was not able to offer any history of the food...or suggest anything other than what we thought we would like. It was like going to a restaurant with a friend and not knowing what to order. There was no information on the the restaurant ..other than it was a great place to eat. We managed to walk A LOT in the NorthBeach area..and found some really cools places (not on our tour). We ate pizza at a cool shop ..but really didn’t learn much more than our guide liked their pizza the best. It appeared to me that we were asking more questions than our host would offer. Although he could answer many questions...he did not offer anything more. Nice guy...but not the tour we had in mind.
