Great trip with so many delicious local but international snacks. Ended with superb from of SF from top of the hill at Dolores park. Would have expected some more walking distance to see more of SF.Nice way to get a culinary taste of SF

For $ 160 per person you would expect more. More stories and more food with a better price quality. The tour lasted far less than three hours. Was uninspiring and didn’t bring much news.Overpriced and uninspiring

Wir waren 3 Personen und Michael führte uns durch The Mission. Michael war überpünktlich sodass wir nicht warten mussten. Ein guter Host, der uns alle Freiheiten lies. Für unseren Geschmack etwas zu viel. Wir hätten uns etwas mehr Struktur gewünscht, aber vielleicht ist das auch der Way of Life in San Francisco. Michael überlies sehr oft uns die Wahl der Restaurants. Das Essen war überall sehr lecker und am Ende sehr reichhaltig. Man sollte lieber Hungrig die Tour antreten. Was uns etwas fehlte war proaktives Erzählen von Michael. Auf unsere Fragen antwortete er, aber wir bekamen kaum Informationen zu Historie oder Insidergeschichten ohne konkret zu fragen. Ein weiterer sehr großer Kritikpunkt war, dass Michael sich gar nicht auf unseren, im Vorfeld extra abgesprochenen und zugesicherten, Extrawunsch nach Low-Carb Essen richtete. Er sicherte uns dies zu, aber auf der Tour wurde das nicht berücksichtigt. Michael ist ein netter Typ mit dem Herz am richtigen Fleck. Gutes Essen - wenig Informtionen

My family and I spent a wonderful afternoon with Michael! We have two teenage boys and two preteen girls- Michael was very personable, friendly and accommodating; going out of his way to make sure everyone felt included. He took us to some fantastic little food gems that we never would have found as tourists. He also was very knowledgeable and added fun facts along the way about the city. We would highly recommend this tour especially if you pick Michael as your guide. He is bright light!The hidden food gems of San Francisco

Michael had some great restutants picked out for us and the walk thru the Mission district was awesome. From taco’s, beer, mango deserts to cervichi. A true cornucopia of flavors and cultures.

We had such a great time with Michael exploring San Francisco’s unique food in the Mission area. The variety of food was so fun …. Chocolate Cake to Mexican Pastrami Tacos to Latin American Pupusa’s to Spanish Empanadas to Lychee Cacao Smoothie…. The best part was the time we spent with Michael getting to know more about SF in general, the fascinating Mission specifically; but, getting to know this truly sincere, passionate, and enjoyable young man. Wonderful Tour!

This was a great time. My husband and I went to places that we would have never known or thought to go. Michael was a great host and made you feel like you were with family. We are going to China Town with Michael again on Wednesday and really looking forward to that. I would highly recommend this tour. Great Evening!

Andy's incredibly in tune with the Mission District neighborhood and all of the various ethnicities of foods offered on this tour. It's refreshing to meet up with someone who's invested in the food service industry to learn and experience new foods, someone who wants to promote these delicious spots that otherwise may not get noticed.A great food tour with a great host!

I did both the Highlights & Hidden Gems of San Francisco and the 10 Tastings of San Francisco tours with Michael, and they were both wonderful! Really fun and interesting ways to see and experience the city, which I could never have done by myself. Michael has an impressive knowledge of and an infectious passion for the city's history and culture. I highly recommend either of these tours with Michael as your guide! Fantastic tours with a wonderful host!

We had a last-minute trip to San Francisco and wanted to find a guide since my husband was a first timers. Michael was able to accommodate us within 24 hours. We are so appreciative. He was on time and extremely friendly and knowledgeable of this beautiful city. We walked through several areas where he showed us several places we would’ve never found on our own. Michael is a kind, knowledgeable, upbeat guide, and we would definitely recommend him. Thank you for showing us your wonderful city Michael. Amazing time in San Francisco

Michael was fantastic!!! He has such a great knowledge of the city that he shared with us in a interesting and informative way. He met us at our hotel took us all over San Francisco from China Town, Little Italy, and Fisherman's Wharf. He made dinner and lunch recommendations to us that were outstanding. The tour he gave us was so good that I would do it again with him as our guide. Michael made my wife and my trip to San Francisco truly outstanding and memorable!Do the tour with Michael !!!!

Michael was not a very good tour guide. He was unshaven and his clothes were unkempt. He was a friendly man but not especially knowledgeable about the city and he did not engage the members of our tour group. I was not impressed. Could have been a lot better

Gerade was Essen angeht, kennt sich Michael wirklich aus. Er hat uns ein paar tolle Tipps für Testaurants gegeben. Zusätzlich kennt er sich aber auch mit der Geschichte der Stadt aus und hat uns häufig ein paar tolle geschichtliche Fakten nennen können. Er kannte alle wichtigen Gebäude und konnte diese benennen. Ein paar kleine Geheimtipps von San Francisco waren auch dabei. Er hat sich ausreichend Zeit für uns genommen. Die Gespräche waren nett und interessant. Wir hatten einen schönen Tag mit ihm. 😀Tolle Stadttour mit super Empfehlungen

Michael was amazing. We enjoyed our walking tour through the financial district, china town, and ended the tour at Coit Tower. It was our first trip as a family, and it was a wonderful way to kickstart our long weekend in San Francisco. Michael was very knowledgeable about the city, and we learned a lot. He also gave us great suggestions for restaurants. Our son is still talking about "Tony's Pizza." Thank you, Michael, for an amazing tour!Great Tour with Michael in San Francisco!

We are really into History and Michael knows his San Francisco history really well, sharing stories from the Gold Rush and before all the way through the Counter Culture movement, the dotcom era to the present day. We toured through Chinatown and learned about the oldest Chinatown in the United States and then learned about the Italian culture in North Beach. It was a really special experience, wish I could live in in San Francisco one day. - MariaAmazing tour today!

Michael gave us a tour of Golden Gate Park and then we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was such a perfect day, fabulous experience. We had children with us, so he knew their limits and got us to talk just the right amount. We got to see the city from across the bridge, which was an amazing sight. Everyone should come to San Francisco at least once in their life, and, if you get Michael as your guide, you'd be really lucky and happy with your choice. - Seth Great Golden Gate Park tour!
