Well worth it - Wonderful variety of food. Our guide Andre was informative, answered questions. The walk was intermittent with sitting for eating and rest rooms were available throughout. Many other interesting places were pointed out.

Highly recommend! Not... - Highly recommend! Not only do you get excellent food, you get some SF history and awesome local info! Our guide Brian was hilarious and knowledgeable about the places we ate and local lore. His love for his city really done through the tour and made it that much more special. The food was AMAZING with me having the BEST cannoli I've ever had as well as a spectacular arancini, not to mention the samples of focaccia sandwich and the salami blessed by the Pope. (Take the tour for THAT story!) Then there's the spectacular scenery of North Beach. This was one of my favorite food tours!

Great tour - Very informative , get a great feel of north beach area from someone who is from the neighborhood. Tasted a good variety of food from many different places . We traveled with 5 kids age range from 2-14 and two elderly people, one with significant mobility problems. Our guide was patient and made sure there were stops with seats . I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in getting a taste of little italy in San francisco
