She is very knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed all of our pairings. We had friends in town, who came just for this experience! She mentioned she also does similar tours in Sausalito & Napa. I tried my first food tour at Pike's Place Market, in Seattle. It's a great way to get to know a new foodie town or in this case, get a deeper knowledge and appreciation for a great place closer to home. We especially liked be taken to a tucked away Indian restaurant to try a dish we've never had before. With a paired wine of course!

And she does that through food and hand-picked dishes that you will never uncover without a guide. Even though locations may change per tour, our group tasted a mix of cultures and got some stories behind the dishes, the restaurants, and their owners. Few examples - * Russian cuisine - Herring with a pickled onion on fresh bread * Indian street food - I was surprised how much I enjoyed this vegan street snack - I would have never ordered anything without meat, and I dislike spinach, but the fried spinach snack was mind-blowingly good. * Mexican - Quesadilla with plantain. Again, no meat but it was soooooo good. * Chinese - Glazed Pork and pork-filled bun I won't spoil the surprise for some of the other locations. And more, and more - Total of about 7-8 places. You won't stay hungry, guaranteed. The walk itself is not challenging; there are no hills to overcome, even though it's San Francisco. Don't wait - Just go!

Our trip to Southeast Asia was a unique and wonderful experience. Our first big trip since the…read morepandemic so a bit nerve-wracking even though we've done smaller trips closer to home. But this time we were away for practically a month! We've never been away that long in any of our trips pre-pandemic days so this was a first! We initially had planned a different trip down under for Dec but had to cancel and instead decided on Southeast Asia. We often travel with a group of friends/relatives but missed their land tour of Vietnam/Cambodia several years back, the region sounded so interesting historically and culturally. Thus we decided we had to visit the area, opted for a week in Singapore and a 2-wk cruise that included Thailand and Vietnam. My spouse is mobility challenged thus we rely on accessibility whenever/wherever it's available. By the time it was decided on cruising Southeast Asia, it was a bit late to book excursions that were accessible although usually there is generally something available when booking at the last minute on the ship. To ensure my spouse could also participate in some of the excursions, we needed tours that were accessible including support in handling individuals in need of more assistance. We were aware that Asia is not exactly handicap friendly at least not as completely as in the Americas, and expected there may be access limitations. I seeked help from Jeanie of Riveting Trips for tours in Singapore and excursions for the day visits off the ship and overnighters. She is affiliated with the Virtuoso Travel Consortium I had used for an online hotel reservation that was merely a fluke discovery while surfing the web a year earlier. I generally prefer to do my own bookings and research but in the interest of time plus a remodel in progress, I'm so glad I seeked help from Jeanie. She provided so much advice and prep info including whether the ship was in port or tender to the shore-that was key on whether my spouse could do an excursion at a particular stop. Then it was suggested by her travel connections in Southeast Asia that overnight stays could be in a hotel since it was a 90 min to 2 hr drive from the port to the town of interest-in this case Bangkok and Hanoi. So glad we decided on the overnight stays in the hotels-we were able to enjoy the destination more w/site-seeing and shopping before heading back to the port. Plus the hotels were 6-stars, elegant and service all around were outstanding, definitely would return to the hotels if we visit again. All the guides we met in each stop were excellent, communications between the guides and Jeanie were all on point. Jeanie was always part of the group chats w/each guide we met should there be any problems that she could intervene if necessary, but that was never the case. I would use Jeanie again for future travel that entail detailed coordination and when we're traveling on our own. Overall, a great trip, despite a hiccup in accessibilty at one location and the hot temps and heavy humidity down south. Dec-Feb is supposedly the best time to travel around southeast Asia....we know humidity from the good ol' southern states in the USA but it was downright steamy in Singapore & Thailand!

Hands Down Best Experience The title says it all. I have to…read morestart off by saying I have absolutely no experience with international travel at all, zero. So when my son graduated college and I knew I wanted to send him on a trip I needed help. After reaching out to Jeanie and having a quick call with her I was completely put to ease that I found the right person. She was very informative and provided plenty of options to chose from. It was great to receive updates along the way with COVID restrictions provided regularly. Weeks before the trip she stayed in contact with up to date info and reminders even as she went on vacation herself. We were so appreciative of her support before and during the trip. We will definitely be contacting her for all future trips

We also paired the experience with wine tasting and learned how to taste and appreciate wine properly, which made the evening even more memorable.

They definitely don't skimp on the meat. Every bite was packed with flavor and honestly it's become my favorite item on the menu. The food is consistently good, portions are generous, and the staff is always friendly. It's been great seeing them grow over the years and they're one of those spots I keep coming back to.
