My husband and I had a wonderful time, and our tour guide, Mateo, was great! He is a native San Franciscan and really knew The Mission District. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to know more about the city while sampling the local fare. My only regret is that we did this at the end of our trip instead of the beginning because Mateo shared plenty of tips, tricks and ideas that we could have used.
Our guide was the perfect blend of giving us the history and stories of the neighborhood while allowing us to soak in our surroundings (I have been on several tours where the guide talked from the first step to the last step without giving anyone a chance to ask questions or even admire the area we were in). We started out at a local landmark with a burrito and it did not disappoint. We finished with ice cream from a local favorite, which we ate while strolling through Mission Dolores Park. In between, we sampled so much other tasty food that I could not eat it all. From Filipino Spring Rolls to Vietnamese Bánh mì and more, we felt that we had a good sampling of the food of the neighborhood.
If we are ever back to SF, we will take this tour again, and will definitely take the tours they offer in other areas.
