Mission District Food and Culture Tour

Brimful of colorful murals, fabulous Mexican-inspired cuisine and some of the coolest party zones in town, the Mission District is the beating heart of San Francisco. Take a whistle-stop tour of one of San Francisco’s most famous and beloved neighborhoods with your expert guide and get a flavor of this eclectic Latin enclave’s vibrant culture and unmissable food. Immerse yourself in the city's history from the Spanish conquest to the tech takeover and stroll the streets as you share food at several eateries.

One of the first things you’ll notice here is the abundance of street art, with vast, colorful artworks covering almost every available surface. You’ll take a walk along tree-lined 24th St, also known as El Corazón de la Mission, where a stop at Balmy Alley reveals the most concentrated collection of murals in the city. Among the 40-or-so highly Instagrammable pieces here, you’ll find playful, political and often controversial works, as well as fine homages to Georgia O’Keeffe and former SF resident Frida Kahlo.

Thanks to its large Mexican community, the Mission is also San Francisco’s number one destination for the best tacos in town. You’ll get a taste of these and other Latin favorites including pupusa flatbreads, cactus tacos and chips with salsa and guacamole at four restaurant stops on the two-hour tour. So come hungry, and don’t forget your camera!
