History lovers…and those of food, wine, and culture will love San Francisco. The California Gold Rush of 1849 brought lots of prospectors to the area and people continued pouring into California, especially after it gained statehood in 1850. By the early 1900s, San Francisco was a major city with rich architecture, grand mansions, public parks and spaces, beautiful Victorian homes, cable cars, theaters, and all the aspects of a fine city. The earthquake of 1906 devastated the city, but it quickly rebuilt bigger and better. In the ensuing decades, San Francisco’s multiculturalism thrived, especially due to its Chinese and Italian populations—all the better for tasty food tours today!

Here are some tours that are sure to take your San Francisco trip to the next level!
