Excellent experience! We got to see Little Italy and Chinatown. The locations we tried food were delicious! Maria was very knowledgeable and gave us numerous ideas for things to do for the rest of our visit!

KaraFitzjarrald

We really enjoyed our tour guide Maria, however, it wasn't quite the tour we were expecting. Maybe I should have been more explicit in our survey. We spent most of the time in the Ferry Building, then moved on to a few stops in the North Shore (Italian) area. I would have enjoyed visiting more areas of the city rather than multiple eateries within the Ferry Building. We didn't stop in China town, but the description of the tour made it sound like this was a major part of the tour.

Fion gave us a wonderful + personal food tour through Chinatown . She customized the tour to our wishes . We had a delightful afternoon . This was one of the best food tours we have had anywhere in the world

Unfortunately I can not give a glowing review.. perhaps our guide was not familiar with the food ..but our experience was more “history of San Francisco “ related than food. My husband and I have taken many food tours and this was not as advertised. We did not have “tastings” we had 2 meals. The guide was not able to offer any history of the food...or suggest anything other than what we thought we would like. It was like going to a restaurant with a friend and not knowing what to order. There was no information on the the restaurant ..other than it was a great place to eat. We managed to walk A LOT in the NorthBeach area..and found some really cools places (not on our tour). We ate pizza at a cool shop ..but really didn’t learn much more than our guide liked their pizza the best. It appeared to me that we were asking more questions than our host would offer. Although he could answer many questions...he did not offer anything more. Nice guy...but not the tour we had in mind.

Fion is the best! She is equally eager to share her neighborhood and culture, as well as to learn about yours. If you're looking for an immersive tour that will let you experience Chinatown as the locals do, then this tour is for you. (Come hungry, and be sure to request Fion!).

Our tour was so much fun and educational. Fion did a great job picking out our dishes. She shared her vast knowledge of the area and was so engaged with us to make sure the tour reflected our wishes to learn about the culture and to try new foods. Highly recommend!

This is the best time we have had any food tours we have been on. Our guide Fion shared her personal experiences with us. Was the perfect day.
