There are no cupcakes or amuse bouches – we give you "real" food that's authentic to San Francisco and California, and tell you real history. Food: The Mission District is renowned for having some of the best food in San Francisco. We take you on a tour of the best spots in the neighborhood, so you can have authentic SF food, such as Salvadorian pupusas, street tacos and Mexican tamales. As well as some of the most delicious chocolate you're ever tasted. History: The neighborhood's Misión San Francisco de Asís is the birthplace of SF. We'll give you an overview of the city's history, from the dog days of the Spanish Empire, to being part of Mexico, to the Gold Rush era, through the Great Fire and up to today, Art: The Mission District is arguably the best neighborhood for public murals. We'll visit the Balmy Alley Mural Project, as well as enjoying amazing street art like the Women's Building. * Tour starts 12 noon, Sunday * Food included

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the food and history tour in the Mission District?

A: There’s no strict age limit for the tour! It’s suitable for all ages, but keep in mind that some of the food might be more adventurous for younger kids. If you're bringing kids, just be aware that they might not be into pupusas or tamales. Plus, the tour does involve some walking, so make sure they're up for it!

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of the tour?

A: The tour runs rain or shine! They recommend dressing in layers and bringing a waterproof jacket just in case. If it's really pouring, they might modify the route a bit to keep everyone dry, but you’ll still get to enjoy the food and history. Always good to check the weather beforehand and plan accordingly!

Q: Is parking easy to find in the Mission District for the food tour?

A: Parking can be tricky in the Mission! There are a few public lots, but they fill up fast, especially on weekends. If you can, I’d recommend taking public transportation or rideshare. It's only about a 10-minute walk from the BART stations too, so that's an option if you're coming from elsewhere in the Bay Area.

Just did the SF Food + History + Art Tour! So good!

OMG, this tour is AMAZING! We went last weekend and ate the best pupusas I've ever had in my life. The guide was super knowledgeable about the Mission's history, and the street art was just breathtaking. We even got to sample some incredible chocolate! Highly recommend it for anyone who loves food and wants to learn a little history. You gotta try it!

Considering gifting the SF Food + History Tour to my sister!

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about getting this tour for my sister's birthday. She loves food and art, but I wonder if it's good for a casual foodie, you know? Is the food portion substantial enough for a meal? Also, how's the walking involved? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
