Had the BEST experience with Foodie Adventures (led by the phenomenal Chris!) on a food tour…read morethrough SF's Mission District. I took my work team, hoping to do something unique, fun, and delicious--and this exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, Chris curated an unparalleled journey WITH SO MUCH FOOD! In addition to the food, it was a fully immersive cultural experience. Chris gave us a ton of rich history and fascinating stories about the neighborhood, the incredible art/murals, and its iconic eateries. As a team of serious foodies, we came in with high hopes--and Chris delivered in every way possible! I could NOT recommend this tour more--it's an absolute must-do whether you're a local or just visiting. We're already counting down the days until our next adventure with Chris!

We had a great time during our tour of Chinatown and Little Italy/North Beach even during a rare…read morehot day in the city! It was fun being tourists for the day even though we are Bay Area natives. Our tour guide was Andre and he was very knowledgeable and kept our group of 10 engaged. Not only did he explain the history behind the places we stopped by, he showed us the beauty of San Francisco. The food was great and I was stuffed by the end of the tour. From what I recall, we sampled sesame balls, dim sum, roasted duck and sautéed green beans, fortune cookies, lots of tea from a local tea shop, Italian sandwiches, cannolis, gelato, and pizza. I forgot to take pics of the food but I'll have to say my favorite was the salami sandwich from Molinari.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. The meeting instructions were unclear, and…read morewe ended up at the wrong location even though we arrived 30 minutes early. About 10 minutes before the tour started, I called and spoke with Trinity. She told us where the correct meeting point was, and we explained we could be there within 15 minutes. Instead of trying to help us join the group, our reservation was simply canceled. We lost both our time and the money we paid. A little flexibility and better customer service would have made all the difference. I wouldn't book with this company again.Stay away!

Suffice to say that I was completely blown away by Stuart's deeply researched knowledge, family history in the city, and passion - so much so that I am planning to recommend this tour to my own friends and family who have also lived here their whole lives. My colleagues even commented afterwards that they probably know more about San Francisco now than their own hometowns.

He's a great teacher, a fun person and was full of energy and kept the program moving. I've already been receiving multiple comments from the participants, all who enjoyed their time at the event VERY MUCH! Chef Carlos was AMAZING! It was 1AM in Madrid and you would never know it from his abundant energy, fun personality and professional teaching skills. His camera angles showed us each step and he kept the show at a high, entertaining level. We were all VERY impressed. Our Cooking Event was a complete success! Thank you, Debbie, Chef Carlos and everyone at Cozymeal!!! I'm so glad I found YOU, Chef Carlos and Cozymeal and we were able to share this experience with my colleagues. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Very professional, very personal and very kind. The world needs more Debbies and Carloses!!!

booked Cozymeal's "Chef Rick / Latin Cuisine Made Easy" experience as a birthday event for my wife…read more It was advertised as a hands-on cooking class where we would create a four-course Latin-inspired meal with instruction. That is not what happened. There was essentially no hands-on cooking. My wife and I repeatedly asked how we could help, and the only participation we were given was washing lettuce and chopping a small amount of pepper. There was no meaningful instruction, no real teaching, and very little engagement. The ingredients were also very disappointing for the price. Store-bought tortilla chips were used despite the menu advertising homemade chips. The carne asada was supposed to include chimichurri, but it was seasoned with store-bought seasoning from a jar and no actual chimichurri was prepared. I contacted Cozymeal immediately with detailed feedback. After delays, they refused to refund the booking and offered only a 15% gift card toward another Cozymeal experience, which is useless because I would never use them again. This was an awful experience and Cozymeal did not stand behind it. I would strongly recommend avoiding this platform.

Chef Joseph is amazing!…read more Bought the groupon, $19 for a tour for two, great price and an amazing deal. I love food and history so this was the perfect tour. My husband loved it, I set up the tour for our valentines day date in the city. Went around North Beach, got some amazing snacks and treats along the way and learned all the great places to eat in North Beach. Then I went on the Mission food safari a few months later with a cousin. The difference between the North Beach and the Mission food safari is night and day. Chef Joseph did a great job on both but the Mission tour is more like an intro of the history, people, and the neighborhood with by the way this place has great tacos. So while your on the North beach tour, you will be snacking the whole time, picking up little things here and there at all the great places he recommends. On the Mission, you will come out with a great history, architecture, and art lesson and a little hungry. One thing to be aware of is that the Mission is a rough neighborhood. Its a mix of city workers, homeless, and some residents, with police strolling by to keep unlicensed peddlers on the move. My well traveled cousin described the Mission as a mini Tijuana lol.

On 1/12 we received a message that the tour was canceled. So we canceled other plans & rescheduled for 1/21. We showed up at the meeting spot at the appointed time. We found 2 others waiting. All of us waited for a 45 minutes in the rain (A half hour after the tour start time.). No tour leader, no message, nothing from Best. We live fairly close to San Francisco. One of the others was from out of the area. We sent multiple messages to Best. It's now after 5 on 1/23 and we have heard no response from Best. Don't waste your money or your time.

Not worth it. I bought a groupon for the chocolate tour and for the price they give you such small…read moresamples! For some places like Ghirardelli it does not even really count as a true chocolate stop as you can walk in on any day of the week and get a free chocolate from them. Cocoa Bella, Teuscher and Spicely were 3 of the best shops to stop at, but you could walk over to any of these places on any fine day instead of paying for someone to walk you to the stores. If anything, this place exposes you to different chocolate companies in SF. If you're a true chocolate lover and enjoy dark chocolates or flavor infused chocolates then skip this tour. Your money is better spent on fine bars of chocolate. Our consolation was that our guide was funny. If you want a suggestion for a good chocolate tour in the bay shoot me a message and I'll tell you one worth checking out!
