5.00We had such a great time on the Taste of Little Italy tour! Anthony, our tour guide, was outstanding, both knowledgeable and engaging. He brought the neighborhood to life with interesting insights while making the entire experience fun and welcoming. One of the best parts of the tour was being introduced to dishes we likely would have never ordered on our own. Each stop felt thoughtfully curated, and everything we tried was delicious. Anthony’s recommendations truly elevated the experience. We also really enjoyed the social aspect of the tour. It was a great way to meet new people and share the experience together, which made it even more memorable. Definitely recommend this tour if you’re in San Diego!
Good time in Little Italy
