Get Local, Get Love in SF's Mission District
The Mission: Carlos Santana attended Mission High, the oldest public high school in SF in 9th grade just before he started touring. Great food and pubs, nothing but indy, including the home made pasta shop with the sandwich board out front that proclaims: We have more kinds of pasta than Trump has felony convictions!

Mission 18th Street San Francisco Food Tour
528tonyv, Jan 2026
Foodie delight. Worth the price.
Often these city food tour are long on narration but short on really interesting food, because of the time of day and the dynamics of having a group come in to taste one plate. THIS WAS THE EXCEPTION. The dishes were all uniquely different from things I’ve tried before. We ran the gamut of tastes of Mexico, Asian fusion, African chocolate and more. Of the six stop I thoroughly enjoyed five (which is a high average). Our guide Paul was informative and unscripted.

San Francisco Self-Guided Audio Drive: Explore at Your Own Pace
Petra_R, Jun 2025
Perfect for the whole family
This is a great tour to do on your own. On the day that it's scheduled you can do it at any point. You have the ability to pause it and continue it later. Follow the recommended route on the app and the narrator will tell you about each point that you get to. It is very interesting and informative, plus if you have children with you they will learn a lot. You get to see the sights and learn about them on your own time.
