We did this tour with a group of six family members, and even on a rainy day it was absolutely fantastic. The food was excellent; generous portions, great variety, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. Our guide, Cynthia, was a true highlight of the experience. She was a wealth of knowledge, sharing fascinating history and stories that brought both Chinatown and North Beach to life. The area itself is beautiful, and the tour struck a perfect balance between culture, food, and walking at a comfortable pace. Rain or shine, I would absolutely do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco.

The tour was amazing. I like the fact that it was not only a food tour but it was also provided history and insight on Chinatown & North Beach. The food, chef kiss, great portions. Highlight was the tea shop. Learning about different teas. Really enjoyed our tour guide Ryan. He is down to earth & really cool. Felt like hanging out with a friend.

This tour exceeded our expectations. It was our third time visiting San Francisco, and we’re already quite familiar with Chinatown, yet this experience still led us to explore and discover little hidden gems we had never noticed before (the first time to see so many flavors of fortune cookies!). By the end, you’ll realize you’ve tried food from many different Chinese and Italian restaurants and shops, gathered a pocket full of treats/snacks to take home, and even made a few new friends along the way. It's a suprise that we even had the chance to see the opening of Dear SF, a great show! Our guide, Isabella, was incredibly dedicated — she made sure every participant enjoyed the journey and coordinated each stop thoughtfully, even while we were resting. It was truly a memorable and well-curated experience.

What a FANTASTIC TOUR & so much more. Ryan was great- very upbeat and enjoyable to be around. Incredibly knowledgeable about Chinatown and North Beach. The food spots were spot on- all really good. I just have to say what stands out the most for me was the most incredible gelato I have ever had!!! No words to describe the butter honeycomb flavor. Highly recommend!!!

Our guide Brian was wonderful and the restaurants chosen had amazing sandwiches, cannolis, pasta, pizza, and coffee! Brian even made sure to give us a few minutes to check out a couple of the churches in north beach. My mom and I really enjoyed our time with Brian, puns and all!
