Our tour-guide, Ryan, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, organized, personable, and went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend! We had food from 3 different regions, as well as a tea tasting with a lovely local business owner, and got to see fortune cookies and dumplings made.

Amazing history filled tour

We loved this small group tour. Scott our tour guide was knowledgeable about the city and the food in Chinatown. We visited some excellent venues that we would not have found ourselves- and there was plenty of food!

I have been to SF before, but never took a food tour. The process was smooth from the booking, to meeting our foodie guide, to the delicious food. 5 stars all the way around! We had a small group of 5 people and had a great time trying traditional chinese food in chinatown. If you go, try the green tea, it was amazing!
