What To Expect

Chinatown

We dive fork-first into the heart of Chinatown with a Dim Sum feast that's oh-so-delish! As we munch and crunch, we'll chat about the exciting tales of America's eldest Chinatown, setting the perfect tone for our Chinatown food tour. Bring an appetite and curiosity!

Golden Gate Fortune Cookies Co

Next, we journey to the magical world of the fortune cookie factory. Let's sample a cookie (or five) and see if our fortune predicts a food coma!

Portsmouth Square

If it’s sunny, we picnic in the park; if not, we cozy up in a local restaurant nearby. Either way, we taste local Cantonese flavor.

Vital Tea Leaf

At a nostalgic tea shop, we sip, slurp, and learn in this 30-minute tea tasting. Here we delve into the magical benefits of tea.

What a great tour with a great local company! The tour guide lives and eats in the area and knew so much. It was a well paced tour, all the food ordered was delicious and we got a great variety of experiences. Definitely recommend!

A perfect way to enjoy San Francisco and discover more about Chinatown. Our guide Marcy was kind, knowledgeable and considerate. We have a less mobile member in our group, but she made sure to accommodate our pace and was very gracious about it. We had some tasty savory eats, sweets and hot tea. On the way to our destinations we got to explore hidden nooks and corners, while Marcy shared stories and historical facts. It felt like a glimpse into the past which helped shape the present. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family, especially people who are visiting from out of town and looking for a fun activity to explore the city with.

After being in SF for decades, this tour showed me that there was more to explore around what I thought were familiar corners. Through hidden culinary gems and rich history, our guide peeled back the layers to give even more texture to living in SF. Places that I had passed a hundred times, but never dwelled for any length, were painted with colorful stories. It was fun for the whole family and a shared memory that was well worth an afternoon. Looking forward to the next one.
