Rundgang durch Essen und Kultur im Mission District

I had really wanted just a mural tour of the Mission District but couldn't find one to fit the timing with my other tour itineraries. So I booked this tour as the next best thing and what I got was waaaayyyy better than I would have ever imagined and totally one of the most magical experiences of my time in San Francisco! I can't say enough about the food which was primarily Latino dishes. We ate from the best 'mom & pop' places cooking traditional meals that were divine! Superb tacos, tortillas, burritos and pastries. I had the most delicious tamales I ever had in my life on this tour! They were so good, I also bought extras to take back to my hotel too! My tour guide, Jamie was the epitome of both professionalism and fun! He knew all the insights and knew so many people around the areas where we walked. He knew all the best mural spots to take great photos, which is a total plus if you're posting to social media! He told the background stories, the politics and the controversies of the works along our walk. It wasn't so much a commentary as an eye-opening experience of the culture of the area and wider San Francisco (both good and bad). The highlight for me was meeting muralists Roberto & Xochitl Guerrero in the process of painting their latest mural along Balmy Alley! We spent a good amount of time chatting with them; I learned so much and didn't want to leave! I loved this tour because Jamie was equally passionate about art, food and his neighbourhood, so it was great to see it through his eyes! He tailored it to my needs too. It was a lot of food so in most places I ate half of the dish and requested the rest be packed up. These half-eaten treats became my dinner in the evening which helped me relive the amazing experience I had enjoyed earlier in the day! He also offered to take my photos being a solo traveller which was far nicer than taking selfies! He was a very caring guide and sensitive to one's needs; whether it be walking on the shadier / sheltered side of the street when it was too hot or regular bathroom stops. He also made sure that my return transport was organised before leaving at the end of the tour. I saved a lot using the train than taking a taxi to Union Square thanks to his advice! I would absolutely do this tour again on a future trip to San Francisco! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about the Mission District and delve into its unique culture, food and vibe! This was honestly the best experience I had during my visit to San Francisco!

Als wir die Tour buchten, verstanden wir, dass wir zu Beginn der Tour 20 $ an unseren Fortgeschrittener zahlen sollten. Von der Website:   "Treffen Sie Ihren Fortgeschrittener einfach am Wandbild 'Familia Santana' in der 24. Straße, geben Sie ihm Ihre 20 Dollar für Essen und machen Sie sich bereit, sich durch die Mission zu essen! " Bei der Ankunft bat der Fortgeschrittener jeden von uns um $ 30 . 00 und sagte uns, die Kosten wurden geändert.   Wir waren mit dem zusätzlichen Geld nicht vorbereitet, also musste mein Mann zu einem Geldautomaten gehen.    Die Führung war informativ, und wir genossen die Wandkunst immens. Wegen der Kunst und der Geschichte, die wir vom Fortgeschrittener gelernt haben, habe ich dieser Tour bis zu 3 Sterne gegeben. Zwei der 3 Lebensmittel, die wir probiert haben, waren köstlich. Wir hielten am ersten Restaurant und erhielten 1/2 ein Burrito und jeweils ein Glas Wasser. Im 2. Restaurant erhielten wir jeweils einen Burria Taco, kein Wasser, keine Gabeln. Das Essen war hervorragend. Absolut köstlich.   Vor dem 2. Restaurant reichte uns unser Fortgeschrittener jeweils ein abgestandenes Brötchen aus einer Tüte.   Er sagte, er habe es von einer ausgezeichneten Bäckerei gekauft. Das war alles.   Unser Essen Erlebnis war viel anders als die Website-Beschreibung:   "Essen, herrliches Essen - besuchen Sie einige der besten Restaurants des Mission District, wo Sie traditionelle lateinische Gerichte wie Reis und Bohnen, Pupusas (Fladenbrote) , Fleisch und Kaktus Tacos und Quesadillas mit Zucchiniblüten und scharfen Epizotenkräutern probieren werden. " Ich schrieb an die Firma, um zu fragen, warum die Tour nicht wie auf der Website der Firma beschrieben war und warum wir eine zusätzliche $ 10 berechnet wurden. Jeweils 00. Aus der Antwort bin ich zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass sie sich nicht wirklich um die Erfahrungen ihrer Gäste kümmern: Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Verwirrung bezüglich des Tourpreises und die Unstimmigkeiten im Speisenangebot. Die Preisanpassung ist auf steigende Kosten zurückzuführen, die wir besser hätten kommunizieren sollen. Wir setzen uns mit diesen Problemen auseinander, um in Zukunft ein besseres Erlebnis zu gewährleisten. Wir schätzen Ihr Verständnis und hoffen, Ihnen auf Ihren anderen Touren ein genaueres und angenehmeres Erlebnis bieten zu können. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Sie weitere Hilfe benötigen.
