5 Stars - An Unforgettable Day with Andre
My wife and I took this food tour about a month ago. A little embarrassed it's taken this long to write the review, but with 1300+ reviews (4.9 Stars), I know Andre and this company don't need convincing - I just needed to take another chance to say thank you.
Our tour happened to fall on Juneteenth, and on a day when World Cup energy was pulsing through the city! (Andre wore a Brazilian flag like a cape and the joy was contagious). We were so grateful that Andre wove in local Black history throughout the tour, and it added a layer to the day we deeply appreciated.
What made Andre stand out wasn't just his knowledge (he's also an amazingly talented storyteller and presenter), but it was his heart. He shared how to call 311 to get real help to people who need it, talked honestly about the city's struggles post-COVID, and quietly saved food throughout the tour to hand to unhoused folks along the way, no fanfare about it. He also connected the neighborhood's histories in vivid detail and we were fortunate to learn about things that history books are quick to rush through - hearing baout he Chinese Exclusion era while standing on the streets hit differently than anything I could read in a book.
Then, there's the food. Every single stop delivered. Period. If I had to pick a favorite, the tea tasting stole the show for me. I 'liked' tea before, now I can't stop thinking about it. Every dish, every pour, every story; Worth every penny. Honestly worth five times what we paid.
If you're on the fence, stop deliberating and book it. Ask for Andre if you can (I'm sure the other presenters are excellent, too). You will leave full, informed, and with a real sense of the city you didn't have before.

Super experience & well worth it!
This tour was lots of fun. What a great experience to bike over the bridge! Marcus was a great guide—patient, informative, fun. He fixed my son's flat tire on the spot no problem. Dress warmly as it gets windy and chilly even in July. Def opt for the E-bikes—it made the ride fun and very easy. It would've been a slog with regular bikes. In addition to the bridge, Marcus took us by the Palace of Fine Arts, the Presidio, Crissy Field, etc., and gave us some great history of the area. Don't pay extra to leave the bikes on the Sausalito side. It's super easy to bring them back on the ferry and you can keep the bikes until 8pm so can do whatever you like with the bikes the rest of the day. We explored Sausalito, had lunch, brought the bikes back on the ferry, then rode them to Alcatraz Landing and locked them up there while doing the Alcatraz tour, then returned them afterwards. Marcus got incredible pics for us at the bridge too! Highly recommend this experience.

Brian was great! Highly recommend this tour!
Brian was great! He is a true SF native with deep ties to the community and that really showed on this tour. Despite having lived in SF myself for 6 years, I learnt a lot of cool new things about North Beach and even found some great food spots on the tour that we will definitely be revisiting. Whether you’re just visiting or a local, I would highly recommend this tour! You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing tour - despite uphill hike lol.
We had a great time. Eric, our tour guide, was awesome. He was funny, engaging, and professional. The tour was really fascinating and the stories were spooky. The only warning I’ll give to anyone interested is, the 1.5 mile walk seems short, but when you’re going up Nob Hill on foot - it’s a workout! Otherwise, a fantastic tour. I would book again!

Loved Muir Woods & A Taste of SF
We appreciated our tour guide (Peter) starting a little early to avoid the summer crowds. He was very knowledgeable and snuck in a few extra stops along the way. We loved seeing Muir Woods and lunch in Sausalito. Highly recommend A Taste of SF for this tour!

My kind of local experience!
Scott was the host and he created an inclusive, compelling, efficient experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the stops during our walking tour and what we learned about Chinatown. I appreciated starting on time and the small intimate group of 10. A terrific experience; recommended!

15 out of 10 for sure!!! Thanks Roman!!

Awesome
I really enjoyed my San Francisco day tour. It was a great way to see so much of the city in a short amount of time, especially as someone visiting and trying to understand the different neighborhoods, history, and culture. The tour was informative, interesting, and gave me a better appreciation for how colorful and unique San Francisco is. I especially enjoyed learning about the Castro, the city’s LGBTQ+ history and the stories connected to different landmarks. The guide shared a lot of details that I probably would not have learned just walking around by myself. It made the city feel more alive and meaningful.

Yosemite experience for all
This tour was amazing, our driver, Alberto, was very accommodating and kept us on schedule. We were able to view waterfalls, giant sequoias, hike, eat, and see scenic views. Alberto was also informative on different landmarks and history as well as agriculture we passed on the way. I went with my grandmother and he also accommodated her not being able to walk long distance to see the sequoias while I hiked. We had a great time!

Wow! What a great way to experience the Mission District. Mark was an amazing guide, full of information and recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed this itinerary, the history and of course the food. Don’t hesitate to book this if you are looking for a great overview of history, culture and delicious food tastings!

Book Now !! Best Tour of China Town & Little Italy!
What a SPECTACULAR Experience. Our Guide, DARA, was amazing. She is a local San Francisco girl & was a wealth of knowledge. It’s a small group tour so our family of 5 got a private tour. We started at the Cable Car Museum & she explained the history & engineering of the street cars. Then we walked to China Town & had the yummiest yogurt drinks, dim sum & musubi. Our next stop was a bakery for Pineapple buns, which are like sweet rolls. Then we walked over to North Beach (Little Italy) & had the most authentic & freshest focaccia pizza & ended at a bakery run by an Italian family for Gelato. Dara was absolutely amazing.. 10 stars & 10 thumbs up!!! She is a wealth of knowledge & so personable & friendly. Even our teenage daughter loved the tour! There is a lot of walking so wear comfy sneakers & travel light… purses & backpacks get really heavy after you have been walking a while. There is a lot to eat & drink so come hungry!
We would highly recommend this tour & only because Dara is such an incredible guide! Don’t think about it.. book now !!

Worth it!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Ideal weather, and our guide Jonathan provided plenty of insights and history about the city and Muir Woods. Would highly recommend to others! One note that others have said: It’s not an exaggeration that the last few miles of the ride into the park is rough if you’re prone to car sickness. LOTS of twists and turns. Everything else was A+.

Move over cable cars—San Francisco is a town best explored on foot. The compact city is 7 square miles (18 square kilometers) of dense neighborhoods, historic alleyways, hilltop viewpoints, and urban green spaces. While San Francisco walking tours are great for experiencing the unique character of city neighborhoods—and even a certain world-renowned bridge—they can venture beyond the beaten trails that bus tours rarely tread. They're also often organized around themes such as architecture, hiking, street art, cuisine, history, and even ghosts.
