Best City Tour for 2006 and 2007” by Citysearch and a “Must See” by the California Travel and Tourism Commission.

You are going to try some of the best coffee, pastries, bread and other food on this approximately three-hour tour. And at the full Italian meal that follows, at one of our favorite restaurants in North Beach that follows, after every course, you'll swear that the food was so incredible that nothing could be better, only to find out that the following dish tops it.

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 bakers kneading love into every loaf of bread. And just when you think that you can't be in any more of food heaven, we visit real coffee shops fresh roasting coffee beans daily. And if that was not enough, we uncover authentic Italian cathedrals where hundreds of couples have felt their heartstrings tug.

Every time we find another artisan crafting food handed down through generations or weaving life into handmade crafts, you'll know that you've experienced one of the places that makes the City a series of ever expanding adventures. And the meal, oh yes, the meal, of handmade pasta will bring your taste buds to a new level. It is often said, it is impossible to be bored or unromantic in San Francisco. And every one of our adventures through North Beach will make you believe it.

To ensure your enjoyment, we limit our groups to 8-10 people or less. Our tour costs include everything, all the tastings, all the crafts.

Each one of our adventures explores the soul of a neighborhood. San Francisco is one of the culinary capitals of the world and every block has its own unique feeling and foods. On every one of our sojourns into San Francisco neighborhoods, we'll go into local bakeries, restaurants, and cafes, and taste the food. Each of our tours is followed by a full meal at a neighborhood restaurant with phenomenal food. We know these places because these are the places we go to ourselves.

We don't go and look at tourist shops. We go into and spend time with local artisans as they practice their crafts, whether it is calligraphers, bakers, or families who have been fishing for generations. We'll take you into the places that are reasons most San Franciscans cannot ever think of leaving here, the places that evoke the creativity and lifestyle that is unique to San Francisco. We have a passion for life, for trying new things, for living life to its fullest.

Our goal is that after you join our explorations, you will take that passion with you. After experiencing the real zeal of this place, we know you will. And not only will you leave your heart in San Francisco; you may find that you have left part of your soul here.
