The Best Food Tour We've Ever Taken!

Published on Jul, 2024

We've taken food tours all around the world—from Marbella to Paris to Boston—and this was by far the best tour we've ever experienced! It was so family-friendly, and even my kids loved it! What makes this tour special? Although the food is amazing, it's not just about the food—it's about the stories. Our passionate guide weaved tales of resilience, creativity, and community spirit, connecting each delicious bite to the people and history behind it. It was so fun to explore so many hidden gems that we would have missed if we stayed in San Francisco. We will be doing this tour again!

Fun and fantastic

I really enjoyed my self . It was my first time really experiencing Oakland . I enjoyed the different foods and the learning the history of Oakland . Tiffany is very pleasant and sweet. I’m looking forward to the next tour .

A hearty blend of food and Oakland history

Published on Sep, 2023

The tour was amazing! Had great food, a historic view of Downtown Oakland, and have a few gems to come visit my next time back in the city. Highly recommended!

All Round Amazing

Published on Jul, 2023

The food, the tour, the hospitality, the history learned, the experience. I would easily rate this a 10 out of 10.

Great Experience!

Published on Jul, 2023

The Black Food Tour was excellent! As a local, I've dined at some of the restaurants on the tour, but the curated item selection, experience, and incredible hosts made me feel like I was visiting the area for the first time (in the best way)! Ari and Tiff were great and engaging hosts. I especially love their diligence in providing historical context about Oakland throughout, and the respect they paid to Black restaurant owners. If you want to get a taste of some of the best spots in Oakland, I'd highly recommend this tour.
