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!

We absolutely loved our food tour in San Francisco with Maria. We had just come from New York and did two food tours there . This tour was so much better. Our two twenty year olds ( who love food) were not so keen initially to come with us on this one - comment was too much talking and walking and not enough eating . They loved Maria's food tour and so did we. Too many stops to count . Maria was so lovely and has such a passion for China Town and North Beach/little Italy restaurants. She also took us to places we would not have found ourselves .

Michael was a fantastic guide! He knew so much about Chinatown and North Beach! We were fortunate enough to visit a temple on New Year's and ate the most delicious pasta in North Beach. Truly a memorable experience!
