Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the North Berkeley Food Tour?

A: There's no strict age limit for the North Berkeley Food Tour! However, it's generally more enjoyable for adults and older teens since the tastings and discussions are tailored to a more mature audience. If you're bringing younger kids, just keep in mind that some of the food choices may not be what they like. They might enjoy gelato and pizza, though!

Q: What should I wear on the food tour?

A: Comfort is key! Wear something casual and comfy, as you'll be walking around the North Shattuck district. I recommend layering since you might start off chilly in the morning. Good walking shoes are a must! Also, don't forget your appetite because there's a lot to taste.

Q: What's the best way to get to the tour location? Is parking easy?

A: Public transportation is a great option! You can take the BART to downtown Berkeley and then it's a short walk over to the starting point. If you drive, street parking is available, but it can be a bit tricky during busy times. Arrive early just in case! Make sure you check parking signs since some spots have time limits.

Just did the North Berkeley Food Tour and it was amazing!

I went on the North Berkeley Food Tour last weekend and OMG, it was awesome! We got to try so many things - the pizza from one spot was out of this world, and the chocolate tasting was heavenly. Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared tons of cool stories about the local food scene. Totally worth the price, and I can’t wait to go back. It’s a perfect gift for foodies!

Thinking about gifting the North Berkeley Food Tour!

I’m considering gifting the North Berkeley Food Tour to my parents for their anniversary. They love exploring different cuisines. Does anyone have experience with this tour? How’s the vibe? Is it a good mix of food and history?
