How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Throw on your party pants (this part is optional) and join one of our local San Francisco hosts for a night out in the city to remember (this part is guaranteed).
We all have different ways of enjoying a night out, so just let us know your vibe and your host will do their best to make sure your time together is as perfect a fit as those party pants we mentioned earlier are.
You could bar hop around spots like SoMa, the hottest nocturnal neighborhood in the city or LGBTQ-friendly, Castro, start your night with classy cocktails in North Beach (you city slicker, you) or enjoy a sundowner beer from a panoramic city look-out point.
The point is, you’ll dance to the beat of your own experience and discover a nocturnal SF you’ll love, whether it’s in dive bars, rooftop bars, micro-breweries, or food truck night markets.
Your host will leave you to groove the night away, but not before they’ve sent you in the right direction and given you plenty of recommendations of where to continue your night.

My girlfriend and I really loved our nightlife experience with our Local Host Joanne. She was really good and knew all of the local bars and the best cocktails to try. She also helped us and gave use some really helpful tips on how to enjoy the rest of our honeymoon, recommending a couple of really nice local restaurants to try that suited our needs. Really good! 10/10

Maria was very experienced and well versed in food and wine. She knew how to choose great samples and based on the person’s personal preferences, add the appropriate food pairings to bring out the wine flavorings. She was personable and professional.

Maria gave us one of the best experiences we had in San Francisco! Her foodie tour through Chinatown and North Beach was absolutely fantastic — a perfect mix of incredible food, rich history, and great company. She was so knowledgeable about both the history and current culture of San Francisco, which added so much depth to the tour. From hidden gems to iconic bites, every stop was thoughtfully chosen and absolutely delicious. We had plenty to eat with a wide variety of flavors — from savory dumplings to decadent Italian pastries. Maria’s passion for the city and its food scene really shines through. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to eat well and learn a lot in the process!

Wonderful day walking around the city with John who knew the city and its history. We loved seeing the city from his perspective all the alleys and historic spots. Best possible way to get to know the city.
