My sister and I went on Kara's Painted Ladies and sweets walk, which convinced us that we needed to continue the fun and do another tour by her. I'm a vegetarian, so I normally avoid Chinese food in San Francisco, because I'm not really sure whether I can trust that the food is prepared vegetarian. Kara asked ahead of time about dietary restrictions and then had options selected at each stage that I could enjoy. Her planning helped me really enjoy this neighborhood that I rarely visit! Now I know places I can go back to! YAY! I really enjoyed the non-food parts too. I learned so much Chinatown history that I didn’t know about despite living in San Francisco for six years! The temple visit was really special and getting my fortune read was truly an experience and quite charming. I also loved being able to experience my first moon cake and vegetarian dim sum! YUM! My favorite part though was the tea tasting at the end. I lost track of how many teas we actually tasted, but it was quite a few in so many different flavors. This was my most memorable AirBNB Experience yet!

An amazing experience with Kara! The pork rolls were so good and the tea tasting at the end was really cool! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to ā€œwander the streetsā€ but with someone who has all the knowledge to make it a memorable and delicious time in Chinatown
