Catherine was very knowledgeable and told interesting stories about the area. She took us to authentic, culturally significant places to taste. The foods we tried were excellent!

I would highly recommend this tour for not only a great sampling of Italian food in San Francisco’s North Beach, but also to get an interesting 3 hour history lesson of the city and the food/locations you are experiencing. Michael was a terrific tour guide and was engaging with our entire group of 7 (including 2 teenagers). He made an effort to learn a bit about everyone in his group and then weaved this knowledge into the stories he told about the city. He even surprise special ordered fettuccine Alfredo extra for my daughter because she had mentioned earlier in the tour that it was her favorite. Amazing experience!
