SF Native Local Food Tour in San Francisco booking from $99.00

SF Native Local Food Tour

Overview

The Original Tour covers the most popular neighborhoods of San Francisco to provide the best local introduction to the city. The tour starts in the heart of the financial district underneath the Transamerica Pyramid. After our group introduction in SF's smallest redwood park, we'll weave our way through the secret side of downtown to see parts of the city that even locals often miss! As we explore the historical Barbary Coast we share family stories of the Wild West during the Gold Rush years. After learning about these lawless times, we'll make our way into North Beach (our Little Italy) as we sample a plethora of snacks and introducing our groups to local community businesses. We'll end the tour in our most authentic historic neighborhood, Chinatown. In Chinatown we'll visit stores and marketplaces that sell unique items, both dead & alive(!), while trying delicious authentic dim sum. Finally, we'll finish up by visiting the fortune-cookie factory and the "living room" of Chinatown.

I had a really great time on the San Francisco Natives tour. I have lived in San Francisco for over a decade, have worked as a local historian, and have spent a lot of time getting to know this, my chosen city, so I was really impressed in the graceful way that he covered the stories of this part of the city, from its founding to the present. Stuart was very confident and generous about answering all my various questions, and in giving advice about more ways to eat and drink and explore the city once we were done. But I was not at all hungry! There was more food than I expected, and all of it was well chosen and very locally-oriented.I was especially impressed at all of the personal relationships that Stuart had with our vendors. It is clear he has a deep relationship with the city and the small business owners in it. I highly recommend this tour!

If you are new to San Francisco or just visiting like I was, then this is the tour for you. Not only is Stuart a great guide he is a top-class person as well. His knowledge of the city is not only because he is a fourth generation San Franciscan, but he lives and breathes this town. During the tour you notice that Stuart has developed exceptionally good relationships with the businesses that you visit, and this adds to the whole experience and makes it so much better. One tip though, make sure you go on an empty stomach or be prepared to take some food home. And make sure you hang around for a drink afterwards.
