Surprisingly, we get this question a lot! The answer is simple: it’s a walking history tour with stops at 4+ local food vendors. The goal is to learn the neighborhood’s history through delicious food.

Each tour has enough food to equate to a large meal. All the included food is listed on the product pages but is subject to change.

No! The food in the description for each tour is included in the base price. If you want additional food or beverages, you can purchase them directly from the restaurants.

Our food tours are 2.5-3.5 hours, depending on the size and speed of the group. We always like to take our time with our guests, but if you have a hard-stop time, please let your guide know.

Some food tours include specialty drinks; however, general soft drinks and water are not included in the base price. Please consider bringing a water bottle. Please note for private tours we do offer a soft drink add-on option.

We have a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 10-12, depending on the food tour.

Your start location should be listed on your confirmation email and varies based on what food tour you purchased.

Your tour guide will be outside the start location. Usually, they will also reach out to you before the experience to confirm any food restrictions.

We suggest you bring a water bottle, a light sweater, to-go bags, and a rain jacket, depending on the weather. Please consider wearing comfortable walking shoes.

It is customary to tip your guide 15% if you enjoyed your experience. The guides are happy to accept cash or Venmo tips. For private groups, we automatically add a gratuity to your invoice. Please see the private and custom tour section for more information.

For public food tours (although we run our experiences rain or shine), feel free to email us if you see the weather looking bad or if something comes up. We will use reasonable efforts to reschedule with one week’s notice, pending availability, up to 1 time. We cannot take same-day switches. Please email info@stretchy-pants.com or text us at +1-415-545-8276 with your request.

All sales are final.

Although this is rare, if your food tour has less than two people booked for that slot, you will receive an email from us two days before your booking letting you know. That email will give you an option for a full refund, a free reschedule, or wait until the morning to see if anyone else books. If you choose to wait and no other party books for your time slot, you will receive a refund email.

A public food tour has other guests and sticks to the listed route. A private food tour is the same route as the public tours, with a wiggle room to change it up. A custom tour is built just for you.

We require a minimum of 6 seats to be purchased. If your group is over 6, you must purchase additional seats up to 25. After 14 people, we add an extra guide for $100.

We only run public tours on Monday or Tuesday if requested. If you would like us to open up a new timeslot, please email us at info@stretchy-pants.com

Please let us know in advance when your guide reaches out.

Different tours can accommodate different food restrictions. All tours can be made vegetarian; however, please see the product pages or contact us directly before purchasing for other restrictions.

Unfortunately, COVID made it very hard for us to run cooking classes. We are looking to bring them back in the future, but we do not offer them anymore.
