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!

We did this tour on our last day in San Francisco, what a fantastic way to end our trip. Our tour guide Jacob was so friendly and knowledgeable. We ate some of the best dim sum and the tour ended with a fascinating tea tasting experience. I don’t want to give any spoilers away but the tea tasting was so entertaining! Along the tour we learned so much about China Town, it’s an area of San Francisco steeped in history. I personally love dim sum so this was the perfect tour. Special shout out to Jacob who made the day extra special, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, just eat, drink and enjoy!

We had the most amazing experience. Robert shared his passion for Chinatown, the culture, the history and of course the food. I have taken several food tours, this was by far the best!

This dim sum food tour was fantastic! Jacob was an excellent guide and shared many interesting facts about the area. I don't think I've ever had so much food on any other food tour - you will not leave hungry!
