March 10th 2012. AVITAL'S TOUR: WE LOVE IT! Avital's walking tour of the Mission District, last Saturday. Very seldom one has the opportunity of tasting delicious food and meeting the young entrepreneurs with a great vision of new wave of culinary cuisine. At the same time, feeling the essence of the people in the community by learning about their murals—the impressive colorful murals done by local artist. They reflect in their walls, history, success, dreams and hopes for the future. Not ancient history; actual, alive, modern, vibrant. The group included my husband and 8 other very pleasant, friendly people led by Avital. Her pleasant and friendly personality put the whole group at easy from the beginning. We were very impress with the three-hours tour. Avital's knowledge, connections, and her wit made the tour enjoyable, fun, enlightening and interesting. Highlights of the tour for me: Learning about all the murals (the Women's Building mural) Tasting oysters and ham (a delicious combination) The Cheese bar (bought two of my favorites cheese) The just baked “empanadas” (a type of turnover stuffed with meat/veggies-- delicious. I was in heaven and I bought a half-dozen to take home) And an out-of-this-world ice-cream sandwich (ready to pick up, and enjoyed at Dolores Park on a warm and sunny day). LOVE IT I recommend it to anyone (locals or visitors). **** Mariah M., Santa Clara, California
I visited San Francisco earlier this month with the goal of seeing the best that San Francisco had to offer. I was excited to go on the Mission tour with Avital Food Tours to have a SF local share the best sites and foods in the popular Mission district. My expectations were exceeded- not only did we try delicious foods that I don't get a chance to try often, I was mesmerized with the artwork in the city and engaged every step of the way with Avital's stories of the history of the area, shops, and artwork. Meeting the owners of several of the shops was a real treat- it was so cool to get the inside scoop of these trendy and unique establishments. Avital's energy and enthusiasm made the tour so fun and enjoyable, and her passion for the city, food, and art was contagious- I found myself even more enchanted with the great city of SF. I'll definitely go on another Avital Tour when I return to the city and highly recommend the tour to all!
