Little Italy food tour - Andre, was a fantastic tour guide, he brought tons of energy & knowledge to the tour. It was a little over 3 hours and tons of walking (about 6.5K Steps) but it did NOT feel like 3 hours. Come with an appetite as you will eat plenty of food. You nibble here and there but you’re stuffed by the end. Andre was the MAN!

Nibbling Our Way Through Little Italy/North Beach - We had a delightful, delicious and informative stroll through Little Italy/North Beach with Isabella! Isabella had interesting and personal tidbits to share about this area of the city while we nibbled a variety of delicious food familiar to the area. We were unexpectedly stuffed by the conclusion! We would definitely do this tour again or any other tour with Isabella! Thank you for a wonderful tour!

Very knowledgeable tour with great food - I went to the walking tour by myself and loved the whole experience. The restaurants we visited were a great mix and I was impressed by the amount of food that was included in the tour. I loved that we learned about so many little details and facts about the city and would recommend it to everyone who loves food and wants to know more about San Francisco. As a vegetarian they always gave me alternative options which I highly appreciated.

Italian Flavours - Informative and interesting walking food tour of North Beach area with lots of organized tastes from local shops and restaurants. Our knowledgable guide Brian who also was a local resident gave lots of insider tips and history on the local district which made the time go very quickly. An excellent tour to get the feel of Little Italy.
