Great experience. Definitely recommend! Tour guide Brian took a lot of time explaining food on tour and history of North Beach.
Its a walking tour so be prepared to do a lot of walking. But also be prepared for some delicious food. Ryan was our tour guide, he was informative, engaging and friendly. I would do it again and I would recommend it to any one traveling to San Francisco.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed both the food and your time with Ryan. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We try to make the three-hour route comfortable and enjoyable, with plenty of stops along the way for food, stories, and time inside the restaurants and shops we visit. I’m especially glad you enjoyed all the food along the way. Thank you for recommending us, and I’d love to have you join us again the next time you’re in San Francisco
Since I was on a food tour, I would’ve liked the tour to focus a little more on food. We visited a church and a theater on our tour, which were interesting but not what I was interested in seeing on this tour I would’ve liked our host to give us a better deep dive into some stories about the food and restaurants and families who created North Beach. Also, why we visited where we visited. It would’ve been great to have visited restaurants that actually had a history or some story behind them instead of just places that would take a big party. I don’t feel like I learned much.
I was disappointed to read that you came away feeling you didn’t learn much about the food, restaurants and families of North Beach, because that’s such an important part of what I want people to experience with us. We spend much of the tour inside the food stops, eating together and sharing the stories of the neighborhood. The church, theater and other places we visit along the way are there to help tell the larger story of North Beach, but they certainly shouldn’t leave someone feeling that the food took a back seat. I would really like to learn more about what happened on your particular tour and what we could have done better. I own a small, local, family-run business, and it really bothers me when someone spends a few hours with us and leaves disappointed. I want to understand why. I hope you’ll give me the opportunity to speak with you. You can reach me at 415-665-0480, tmedin@sffoodtour.com, or through Viator.
Very interesting and delicious tour of North Beach area of San Francisco. The food we tasted were delicious and quite plentiful!
Thank you for joining us! I’m so glad you enjoyed exploring North Beach and, of course, all the food along the way. We definitely don’t want anyone leaving one of our tours hungry! I really appreciate you spending part of your time in San Francisco with us.
It was an overall great experience, very informative and the food was very good on the tour. The atmosphere was friendly. Overall a nice experience.
I’m glad you chose us for your first food tour! It’s especially nice to hear that you enjoyed not only the food and history, but the friendly atmosphere along the way. Hopefully this was the first of many food tours for you. Thanks for spending part of your time in San Francisco with us!
The walking tour around North Beach/Little Italy was fantastic. You definitely won't leave hungry. We started our tour at Caffe Greco for coffee/espresso/cappuccino and a cannoli from Stella Pastry. Our next stop was a Molinari Deli for a wonderful sandwich. Then we went to Betty Lou's for a fettucine dish with a red cream sauce that was fantastic! Then we went to Steps of Rome and had an amazing pizza. Such a wonderful pizza. Our last stop was across from the Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral where Joe DiMaggio married his first wife call Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store and Cafe and we had an amazing tiramisu. We didn't go to Z. Cioccolato for fudge, but the tiramisu was so good, I didn't care. We did not got by Coit Tower, but it was pointed out to us. We also had a small tour of Club Fugazi which wasn't listed on the tour, but our tour guide Scott is a local and this club is a San Francisco tradition. We were only in a small area but there was so much history in that small piece of San Francisco that you almost don't realize it.
I loved reading this. You definitely got a good taste of North Beach — literally! Scott has lived here a long time and really knows the neighborhood, so I’m glad he was able to get you inside Club Fugazi. That’s the kind of thing that can happen when you’re walking around North Beach with someone who knows the area. And I’m glad the tiramisu made up for missing the fudge! It sounds like you had plenty to eat either way. Thanks for spending the afternoon with us and for taking the time to write about it. I’m really happy you enjoyed the tour.
Wonderful food, treats, and storytelling!!! Ryan made the experience so fun and interesting! He is the real deal!!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're so happy you had such a great time exploring North Beach with Ryan. He truly loves sharing the neighborhood's stories and introducing guests to some of our favorite local spots, so it means a lot to hear that his passion came through. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you back in San Francisco again soon!
Excellent food on our tour with Isabella. Good narrative and explanations. Many good restaurants in Little Italy.

It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed both the food and the narrative along the way.

This was great! I’ve lived in the Bay Area all my life, but didn’t know about any history or restaurants in North Beach, and I’m Italian! What a great day with friends… our guide was funny and so knowledgeable. It was soooo much food and good food! I had never had a Cannoli and wow are they good! I highly recommend this tour to anyone and not just out of towners! Great day!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this! As someone who has lived in the Bay Area your whole life, it means a lot to hear that you still discovered new stories and restaurants in North Beach. That's exactly what we hope every guest experiences. I'm so glad you enjoyed spending the day with your friends and that your guide made the neighborhood come alive with history and humor. And I have to smile knowing your first cannoli was on our tour—Stella Pastry has created a lot of first-time cannoli fans over the years! Thank you for recommending the tour and for reminding people that you don't have to be visiting San Francisco to enjoy discovering something new. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope we'll have the chance to welcome you back to explore another neighborhood with us soon.
