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!

I have been to little Italy north beach multiple times but I have never experienced it like this. Blandina is truly a gem and shared so much information I had no idea about. I would 100% recommend doing this tour even if you have been to the area, you have never seen it like this.

Walking through North Beach with Blandina felt like walking through with a celebrity! She knew everyone we passed and had so much rich history to share with us. The food was the icing on the cake (literally). I never would have had the opportunity to try all of these amazing spots if it weren't for this tour. Thank you Blandina for showing us well-known spots to holes in the wall, each one offering exceptional food!!

Touring North Beach with Blandina is a foodie's dream come true! Not only does Blandina have an incredible personal history in the area with wonderful stories galore, but she has established relationships with many of the bistro, restaurant, bakery, deli, coffee shop owners and candy confectioners. They are all glad to see us when Blandina ushers us through their doors. Brava Blandina!
