Marcy was so fun! All of the food was incredible. Would do this tour again in a heartbeat! What a great way to get to know such a cool neighborhood in San Francisco.

My wife and I were hosting a friend from London who was unfamiliar with San Francisco and curious about American Halloween, so we thought that treating her to a Gourmet Ghost Tour would be a perfect fit. And it was! All three of us had a marvelous time, one of the most delicious and memorable evenings I've ever had in San Francisco. Our tour guide, Dale, did a terrific job of acquainting us with North Beach's colorful, surprising, and occasionally spooky history across a leisurely walking tour that showcased the neighborhood's many interesting nooks and crannies. This tour is unmissable for anyone who likes Italian food, especially the hidden gems and old-time establishments that might be easily missed on a more conventional itinerary. Everything about the program was perfectly executed to a tee. Definitely highly recommended!

Hauntingly wonderful! I've lived in SF more than 50 years and was surprised how much history I still didn't know. Our guide, Robert, was entertaining as well as deeply versed on the well-documented "facts" and also on the compellingly similar "hearsay" about the ghosts that have visited their haunts over the ages. Fascinating!
We were well fed along the way, from the 1906 Hotel San Remo's luscious shrimp and calamari to Mario's delicious eggplant panini, Mona Lisa's crusty Margherita pizza to Cavalli's melt away tiramisu. Hold those ghosts!

What fun! I took the North Beach tour, and as a Bay Area resident who admittedly doesn't spend tons of time walking around San Francisco, this was a great way to get acquainted with an area that has lots of great history, and lots of great food! The tour was informative, our guide was really pleasant, and I'd recommend this as a way for folks to experience the city up close!
