There Was SO MUCH GREAT FOOD!!!!!

Mar 2023

What a great tour with Brian and Local Tastes of the City. The highlight was tea tasting at Vital Tea and watching the local Lion Dancers practice. Truly a great way to see and learn about SF's China Town and North Beach (with a fantastic cheese burger sample on the way to North Beach).

We purchased this tour for our son for Christmas and flew up to enjoy it with him. The company was really accommodating in pulling up the gift certificate and helping us find a tour that fit our schedule. We will definitely go back!

And, thanks again to Brian the Tour Guide -- you will not go hungry on this tour!

Much food and history!

Mar 2023 • Couples

Brian, our tour guide, was witty and he made the history fun. He told 2 secrets: how to tell if the cannoli are fresh, and exposing the San Francisco wannabes.

The food was great (pizza, cannoli, fudge, arancini, espresso…).

It was a tie for my favorite … the mini cannolis were great and the arancinis were superb. (We went back the next day for some more. )

We also went to Al’s Attire, a bespoke shoe and clothing business. Al makes shoes and clothing for rock groups, musicals and opera.

It was really fun, and we were a congenial group. I highly recommend it.

Great Tour of Chinatown

Very worthwhile tour and good sampling of foods. The tour guide's enthusiasm was an added perk. The weather was terrible but doesn't reflect on this tour; it may have received an even higher rating.

Great tour!!

Mar 2023

This is an awesome tour. We enjoyed it so much I am planning a future return trip to San Francisco to go on longer individual tour(s) of North Beach and Chinatown. Brian was an amazing guide, knowledgeable as well as respectful of culture. Additionally he was funny with interesting stories and anecdotes. Rather than spend hours trying to identify which items to sample at which shops to get a good introduction to these amazing neighborhoods, book a tour! Oh and come hungry, the portions are good and lots of samples are provided!
