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!

Isabella was a delight! We were a team all meeting for the first time in person and learned new things, ate some wonderful food and got to know the city a bit better. She was so warm and funny and personable - really just a model tour guide.

Brian treated us to a great tour of Chinatown and Little Italy. The food was delicious and he shared a lot of local history. The tour exceeded our expectations.
Adam M.
Brian gave us a wonderful tour of China Town and North Beach Italian cuisine. His knowledge of San Francisco history enhanced the intrigue of the culinary tour. His relationships with locals gave us access to the owners of restaurants and shops with authentic local foods. The most unique part of the tour was sampling healthy teas from China. Brian had a tasteful sense of humor and brought insights from growing up in San Francisco. I would highly recommend Brian’s tour. You will laugh, learn history and enjoy delightful local Chinese and Italian foods and treats.

Isabella did a great job with our large group. The tour was laid out well, and took us to many places. I would have liked a little more background on the history / context of some of the food things we experienced, but it was overall really fun.

Isabella was so welcoming, patient and kind, and knew so much about the area. We loved the food and especially the sticky cakes to start and the tea tasting! I would recommend anyone slightly interested in the SF Chinese food scene to do this tour. Was tons of fun.
