    Itinerary

    North Beach Ghostly Hotel: Our gourmet ghost tour commences with a spine-tingling visit to the San Remo Hotel's restaurant, the area's oldest and our most haunted stop. Here, we dive into eerie tales of resident ghosts while savoring a delectable antipasto plate. This historic eatery provides the perfect backdrop for our exploration, intertwining paranormal encounters with a rich cinematic and historical setting.

    A Stroll Through the Past: With a ghostly chill in the air, we’ll embark on a brisk historical walk through the neighborhood's hidden corners. Along this path, we'll peel back the layers of North Beach's sinister past that still haunt its streets today.

    Washington Square Park: Our next destination is the iconic Washington Square Park, where we'll sample legendary focaccia bread sandwiches at a beloved establishment. This bohemian gem, teeming with local patrons, is the perfect snapshot of the neighborhood.

    Unveiling Secrets at the Sailors: We then journey to North Beach's most venerable landmark, the Saloon, a time-honored establishment with roots tracing back to the 1800s. Outside, we'll unlock the chilling stories of kidnapped sailors who met their watery fate. Note of caution: entry to this storied bar is reserved for guests aged 21 and older.

    A Slice of History and the Paranormal: Our appetite for history and the supernatural leads us to a beloved local pizzeria. Here, we don't just savor slices; we delve into the cheesy history of pizza, offering a delightful and tasty interlude—notably, the most wholesome stop on the ghost tour!

    Chinatown's Mysterious Charm: As our curiosity remains aflame, we embark on a short journey just a few blocks away to the enigmatic realm of Chinatown. We’ll explore additional haunted locations in its labyrinth of streets.

    A Sweet Conclusion: Our hauntingly good time culminates with a dessert stop at a local watering hole renowned for its ties to the Beatnik era. This final indulgence adds a sweet note to our day of history, legends, and gastronomic discoveries.

    We need at least 2 people to run the tour; we will contact you if we do not meet that minimum.

    San Francisco's Chinatown and North Beach neighborhoods come alive on these walking food tours, and the guides are clearly the heart of the experience. Dale, Jacob, Robert, and Marcy each bring their own personality to the job, but share a genuine depth of knowledge about the city's history and the communities behind the food. Locals have come away learning things they never knew about neighborhoods they've lived near for years, which says a lot. The food stops cover serious ground, think Peking duck, dumplings, egg tarts, boba, and a traditional tea tasting, with enough variety to keep everyone happy. Portions are generous but not overwhelming, and the pacing between eating and walking feels well balanced. For groups and corporate offsites, the team is especially well organized, with smooth communication from planning through the day itself. If you enjoy history, great food, and guides who actually care about the places they're showing you, this is a genuinely memorable way to spend an afternoon in the city.

    What a great tour of Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39. We really enjoyed our tour guide, Robin. She was fun, knowledgeable, and lively. We also had wonderful weather. The hot chocolate at Ghirardelli was the best! Also loved the fish tacos, Bourdin sourdough, and clam chowder. So glad my daughter and I could book this tour.
