“Brian was an awesome food and North Beach guide. Brian is from the San Francisco and has that extra spunk. Brian enjoys talking and his comedy background brought smiles. There were multiple spots where we went for food and the food can be adjusted for dietary desires. There was quite a bit of food so I would suggest scheduling a later dinner/lunch.”

“Brian was the highlight of our trip to San Francisco! From the moment we met him, his energy, warmth, and deep love for North Beach were contagious. He masterfully guided us through the neighborhood’s culinary gems—from old-school Italian bakeries to hidden trattorias and off-the-beaten-path delights we would’ve never discovered on our own. His storytelling brought the history and culture of the area to life, making every bite even more meaningful. He struck the perfect balance between fun, informative, and relaxed, making the tour feel more like exploring the city with an old friend than a formal guide. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, the pacing was perfect, and Brian’s insider knowledg...”

“Our guide, Scott, was terrific. His knowledge of the neighborhood, its history and, of course, its food was awesome. He peppered his narrative with vignettes of the people who made North Beach famous (and occasionally infamous), starting with the Spanish missionaries and the gold rush through the Beat Generation and the more recent past. We loved the food, too, from the sandwiches at Molinaro through the final gelato from Lush. Yum!”

“Blandina takes pride in her North Beach Little Italy neighborhood in SF. She knows so many details of a lot of the stores, restaurants, churches that have been around for 100 years. Everyone knows her! She is very knowledgeable about the music scene and all our local celebrities like Santana, Grateful Dead, Joplin, jack kerouac, etc. There are a few treats to indulge in at a few places like Stella bakery, Palermo Deli, Mario’s Bohemian cigar shop, Z Cioccolato. It was great to see the inside of St. Peter’s and Paul’s church and St. Francis church to see the marble from Italy and the stained glassed windows. It was also…”
