Overall, this is a very good tour.
Michael, our guide, was friendly and very knowledgeable about the Mission District, the restaurants in the area, and SF as a whole. The food was very good and we left full. It was nice that we always walked a few blocks between food stops to give us time to digest.
Note that no drinks are provided on this tour. Other tours I've done have typically included some kind of drink. The places we went to did have interesting options, like sangria, agua fresca, horchata, but we had to pay for those ourselves. Guess that's OK, given the price point. Just pointing it out.
My only other comment is that while we got a ton of information on the area and its history, we did not get much information about the food itself or the people behind it. While eating, we were pretty much left alone. Michael was great at answering questions if we asked them, but I was surprised we didn't get some kind of "story" in each place we stopped. I'm a foodie and a local, so was familiar with everything we had; but others may not, for example, have known what an "arepa" was.

Jinny was an enthusiastic and informative guide. She really loves the city and gave us a great crash course on the Mission District. The food was delicious.

A taste of the Mission District booming food scene was a great 3 hour walk. Michael B led the way, shared his knowledge and in closing, we finished at the scrumptious Tartine Bakery. Loved it.

Spud was knowledgeable and personable. Even though I am a native San Franciscan I appreciated all the stories about the area and city. There was a good selection of tastes. A great way to see the area.

We've loved many food tours in Europe, so thought we'd try the experience in S.F., even though we've lived here for 30 years. The Mission District food was OK, but the overall experience was a little below average.
Biggest concern was that we were supposed to be on a 3 hour tour, but our guide talked so much that it lasted for over 4 hours, and that wasn't a bonus. He talked for 45 minutes on the sidewalk before we even went to our first food stop, and we were HUNGRY! A little history goes a long way, but too much history is just a bore.
Enjoyed the side trips to view the Mission murals, but we spent more time looking at street art than eating. And of the 5 restaurants we went to, we only went inside one. All other food was eaten on the sidewalks out of paper bags.
We arrived at our final destination so late that we had to take our "breakfast buns" on the go, and who wants breakfast buns for dessert @ 3pm?
Finally, not a single food stop included anything to drink except water. There was sangria and beer to be purchased at an added cost, but every food tour we've done in Europe very much sampled the food and the wine TOGETHER. This tour was completely devoid of alcohol, which I'm afraid makes it not worth the cost.

We are local and had a great time! We learned about the history of the area and the food in the Mission. We had a variety of great food from taco's and empanadas to pastries. A terrific way to spend 3 hours getting to experience The City and the food. I highly recommend for tourist as well as locals

We had a fabulous foodie day in the Mission with Jinnie P. All of the food was delicious and Jinnie was an excellent guide. An added perk was seeing the many murals that grace the walls of buildings in the Mission. It is a vibrant City neighborhood, and even though I grew up in SF, I was fascinated by some of the historical gems Jinnie shared with us. I would highly recommend this tour to locals and tourists alike.

We like food tours to eat, of course, but also to see a part of a city we want to know more about. This tour was FANTASTIC for both! Our food stops were exceptional, and our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and gracious. What a great way to spend a few hours!
