I went on this experience with 5 other people and we all had a wonderful time. We are all local to San Francisco and still learned so much about the food and landscape in the Mission. The restaurants varied in food, flavor and ambiance and it was a delight to end the walk with a stop at a chocolate shop. The history of the murals was fascinating and I never knew there were Victorians in the Mission. Our tour guide David went out of his way to be accommodating, was full of rich knowledge of the area and you could tell he was very passionate about what he does. I highly recommend this to both locals and visitors!
Good cultural discovery of food & neighborhoods souls
