Very nice guide in San Francisco organizing tours to discover the flavors of the Italian neighborhood of North Beach.
Tom Medin began by writing a cookbook on the gastronomy of the different American states. As a true local, he organizes half-day tours to discover the flavors of North Beach's Italian neighborhood: cappuccino, chocolate, pastries, focaccia and many other local specialties. But also tours of Chinatown, day and night, from the Eastern Bakery to the Fortune Cookie factory... Authentic and fun.

Our tour guide, Brian, did a fantastic job of giving our group tidbits about local history and taking us to amazing restaurants in the North Beach area that we likely would not have discovered on our own. Brian is a true native San Franciscan who is super proud and passionate about his city. Our three hour walking tour was engaging, delicious, and entertaining. Brian's love of San Francisco shows in the quality of the amazing tour he gave to us.
Will recommend to anybody visiting San Francisco!
