Secret Food Tours San Francisco

Highlights / General details

Learn the story of the immigrants that shaped the San Francisco food scene and how San Francisco shaped them. Many foods that are commonly thought of as Mexican and Chinese were actually invented in San Francisco. The Mission embodies an ever changing melting pot of flavors and culture along with award winning recipes that tell a story of a revolutionary city that has been shaped by significant social movements.

By booking on our San Francisco Food Tours, we will take you on a tasting adventure with both delicious foods, drinks and with some mouth-watering local and international influences. We will entertain you with stories of the city and its history, and you will end up with a belly full of food and a greater understanding of the cuisine, the culture and fusion that created it.

To begin, we take you to one of the best Taquerias in the nation, where people travel from all over the world come to taste the best of the best. Next, we head to a nearby Italian pastry chef for a sweet treat. We'll then try a tasty tidbit... our secret dish.

We spend time looking at the fantastic street art and murals the Mission offers on each corner. Potstickers soon arrive; those tasty delicate dumplings were created in San Francisco.

Did you know that the Mission has the oldest building in San Francisco? Enjoy the international influence on the city, as we learn the story of the immigrants.

You can't leave the Mission without trying the delicious ice cream offered from a part family owned market and creamery just moments away from Dolores Park.

We wind up with a breathtaking view of the city and steps away from the place where San Francisco received it name. Oh, and of course California wine, did we say Wine!
