Really great tour of China Town, learned a great deal about San Francisco and got to eat some great food, drink some good tea. Great tour guide very knowledgeable about China Town and San Francisco
This was a fantastic walking tour -- even for someone with mobility issues. Our guide, Robert, took that into consideration and made sure that I and everyone in our group was comfortable. All of the food we ate was delicious! The tea tasting was very interesting and the final touch of freshly made mango mochi was icing on the cake. The hills of San Francisco were challenging for me (many orthopedic issues) but, like I said, Robert took care of me. He's a doll and I told him that I'd do it all over again because it was such a great experience. He's the reason for that.
We had an amazing tour with our guide Ginger! She was wonderful, kept us on track and told us a lot of interesting facts about Chinatown. The food choices were amazing - they even accommodated vegetarians- and we left feeling full and happy. It seems like a lot of food but as we walked around so much it helped digest it quite quickly 😊
Dale was a fantastic guide! We loved the stories, history, and the food was great! All this, along with, how the fortune cookies are made, specialty boba tea, and tea tasting at the tea house made this our favorite walking your so far! Thank you!!
This was a really great experience. Our family loved it. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed the tea experience. The guide was very interesting and kind, and we would recommend this as a must-do for anyone going to San Francisco. Will have to try one of the their other ones when we go back!
Very nice tour. The guide, Ginger was interesting and informative. The first 30 minutes was a Dim Sum sampler lunch. It was good but I felt rushed. The stop for tea sampling was fun. The proprietor was interesting and funny. I wish there was a specific itinerary so we would know what we would be doing, for how long, and in what order. I would recommend.
My family had a great tour with Robin. It was very fun and informative, and Robin was great with my tween, and I recommend the tour for kids. Lots of good food and good information. Highly recommended.
Our guide Dale knows Chinatown well and had lots of interesting stories to tell along the way, but he also knows delicious food which made this tour really enjoyable. We ate absolutely everything and loved every minute of the tour. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience- great food and knowledgeable tour guide.
Very nice! We started with a full Dim Sum lunch, could have ended at that point. Robert was our guide, and a resident of the neighborhood. We visited the Fortune Cookie Factory, a boba tea spot, a restaurant with (our guide’s opinion) the best Peking Duck and most delicious green beans. Finished with an informative tea tea tasting (very educational) and a stop at a bakery where we were served a delicious mango moochi. Highly recommend.
