Being a Tourist in Your Own Town

We had a great time exploring SF’s Mission district with Seth. Having lived here for years, our eyes were opened to a whole new part of town we really didn’t know much about. Seth was engaging, professional and his passion for the food and culture of the SF mission was palpable and infectious. Highly recommended!
