What guests are saying about the Bay Area food tours
Booked the class North Beach Gems with Guide Blandina in San Francisco (North Beach)
We traveled the geographic and historical streets of North Beach. Blandina semed to know everyone we passed en route and to have a story about each of them! Her knowledge of the establishments and her unique narrations behind everything--the stores, restaurants, music halls, building murals, churches--brought the culture and history of this iconic district to life. I would whole-heartedly recommend Blandina as an expert and fun guide in North Beach. She was terrific!

Booked the class Explore Chinatown and Little Italy with Guide Isabella in San Francisco (Chinatown)
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend last minute, but my colleagues came back with such fantastic things to say. Everyone had a great time and said that all of the food was delicious and that they learned a lot - they're still talking about all of their goodies a week later. So bummed that I missed out!
