I took my work team, hoping to do something unique, fun, and delicious--and this exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, Chris curated an unparalleled journey WITH SO MUCH FOOD! In addition to the food, it was a fully immersive cultural experience. Chris gave us a ton of rich history and fascinating stories about the neighborhood, the incredible art/murals, and its iconic eateries. As a team of serious foodies, we came in with high hopes--and Chris delivered in every way possible! I could NOT recommend this tour more--it's an absolute must-do whether you're a local or just visiting. We're already counting down the days until our next adventure with Chris!

I can't believe I didn't do this sooner! My friends' birthday was coming up and I thought taking a…read morefood tour to celebrate would be much more fun than just going out to an individual restaurant like we usually do. And it couldn't have been a better decision. We took the North Berkeley Tour and Justin was our guide (who I very highly recommend). Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the history of all the delicious food we enjoyed, but he was also so personable and easy to talk to. It really felt like we were getting an insider's view of the area. And of course, the selection of food we had was diverse and amazing too (all of it). The best advice I can give to someone who would like to book this tour is to bring your appetite because you will not be hungry when it's over. In fact, by the time we got to our last stop for cupcakes, we were all so full that we just took them to go. I'm still amazed that we were able to visit so many different places in such a short distance. Many of the foods I tried were new to me but I think it's safe to say I've now discovered some new favorites and will definitely be back. Oh, and for those who like to shop, we passed a few cute places along the way too. This really was a fun experience and a wonderful way to spend the day!

It was fun being tourists for the day even though we are Bay Area natives. Our tour guide was Andre and he was very knowledgeable and kept our group of 10 engaged. Not only did he explain the history behind the places we stopped by, he showed us the beauty of San Francisco. The food was great and I was stuffed by the end of the tour. From what I recall, we sampled sesame balls, dim sum, roasted duck and sautéed green beans, fortune cookies, lots of tea from a local tea shop, Italian sandwiches, cannolis, gelato, and pizza. I forgot to take pics of the food but I'll have to say my favorite was the salami sandwich from Molinari.

Since it was my daughter's first time to SF we decided to do this one. Very highly rated and reviewed on Viator which is what drove me to book. I feel like such a jerk for calling someone out but we just did not love our guide Brian. Jokes were awkward and he was hard to follow as he was sort of distracted and all over the place in his remarks. There was a lot (too much) of standing around and talking on this tour which made the 3 hours seem super long. There was also a couple of weird co marketing stops at a store and a show where we were offered discounts for purchasing from other vendors. Zero pressure and everyone was super nice but it just didn't feel authentic. Food was good but I never hit a spot where I was compelled to come back to. Guide complained about Viator, handed out business cards, educated us on how to tip him just not enjoyable.

Then Cozymeal canceled the class, and now refuses to transfer the payment to another class. They tell me to go to Viator or Chase, but Viator can't do anything and Chase says the refund has to come from Cozymeal -- and I can't even receive a refund through Chase anymore because that card account is closed. So I'm just supposed to lose $280? Rhoda Lopez at Cozymeal was unhelpful and just kept repeating herself. No solutions. No accountability. Just finger-pointing. I've never experienced such a frustrating and shady setup. Avoid this company at all costs -- they do not stand by their own bookings. #CozymealFail #CustomerServiceNightmare #TheyCanceledNotMe #CozymealScam

I was suppose to take the Italian food tour today with 4 other family members but the tour guide,…read moreBrian, never turned up. After waiting for two hours we decided that enough was enough and left. I don't know what exactly happened to Brian, and to give him the benefit of the doubt, for a while we thought, maybe he had some sort of emergency. And to be honest we would have been less irritated if he told us earlier on that he could not make the tour and needed to cancel, because shit happens in life. What we really didn't appreciate was the fact that he strung us along for two hours. Tour was suppose to start at 11:00. At 11:15 we were told, another 10 minutes. So we waited. Then we were asked to move to the next venue. So we waited for another 30 mins. Another call from Brian to the venue and asking us to wait another 10 mins. This kept going on until we waited for almost 2 hours. Throughout this whole time the main operator was apologetic and to be fair, offered us a refund and vouchers. They were also trying to get a hold of Brian, but couldn't. The problem was that Brian was clearly avoiding phone calls from his employer, because if he really had no signal he wouldn't have been able to call the venue and keep telling us to wait another ten minutes! I am all up for giving people a second chance. Maybe Brian has his reasons. Maybe his alarm didn't work and he forgot to wake up on time. But he needs a quick reality check in basic client management - don't over promise, and don't avoid confrontation because one cannot face delivering bad news. Because things surely will deteriorate quickly once people realise they are being lied to.

Even though we've been living in SF for over five years, we enjoyed taking this tour through a more tourist-y area and finding hidden, worthwhile gems along the way. A non-food highlight was walking around the Musee Mecanique and dropping quarters into old-timey machines, and a food highlight was trying out some of the foods at Pier 39 (which I typically have avoided, because I don't know what's overpriced/geared towards tourists vs. actually good food). We left the tour feeling really satisfied with all the food we got to eat, and also with a newfound appreciation for an area of the city we don't often visit.
