Overview

Definitely one for the food lovers, the Little Italy and North Beach Walking Tour is a glimpse into the blend of culture and cuisine of San Francisco. Stroll amongst the cafes and bakeries of North Beach, San Francisco's own Little Italy. Named one of the 15 best foodie tours in the USA by U.S. News and World Report (March 2018) From the cafés and restaurants, to the smell of fresh-baked pastries in the air. Just when you think you can't feel any more romantic, you discover quaint shops with incredible crafts and ceramics that fill you with a sense of awe. We explore the life of North Beach, as we join family artisans kneading love into every pastry or dish. And just when you think that you can't be in any more of food heaven, we visit real coffee shops. And if that was not enough, we uncover authentic Italian cathedrals where hundreds of couples have felt their heartstrings tug.

Good talk and good food.

Published on Jan, 2025

A lot of walking but good food. Our tour guide knew a lot of the history about the Italian area and the food.

Awesome

Andre was awesome! So much history of the area, cool little spots pointed out. Great tastes! Also so mindful of the locals, helping us not be an irritating tour group. Highly recommend!

An Educational and Engaging North Beach Tasting Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

As locals, we were amazed by how much we learned about the rich history of North Beach. The tour was made exceptional by the knowledge and passion of Scott L., who loves the city, and its history, and knows all the best spots—along with the locals who make the area so special. It was a fantastic reminder of how great our city truly is. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

Our guide was absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended!
