Our guide, Jinny, was terrific! She has an impressive knowledge of SF history, food and culture, and we really enjoyed touring Chinatown with her and our group. We ate at delicious restaurants that we never would have found on our own. It was a fun and interesting way to spend the morning, and I recommend checking it out!
On this guided food tour of San Francisco’s Chinatown, you will taste five different mouthwatering delights. Three of the tastings (enough for lunch) will be done seated inside the restaurants and two tastings will be done on the street in front of the establishment. In between delectable food tastings, your guide will tell fun and interesting stories about the history and culture of the neighborhood. It's a food, and culture walking tour with 5 tastings in 3 hours. Come eat with us!

We did a Sidewalk Tour for our annual staff appreciation event. We had a wonderful time! Our guide, Jinny, was warm, engaging and so knowledgeable and made it a great experience. And the food was excellent! Highly recommended.

Jinny exceeded all expectations and curated a first rate experience for our group. Her energy level, knowledge, and obvious love for the city of SF created for a memorable experience. One of the members stated “why have I never done something like this before “

Jinny was amazing and did a wonderful job accommodating us while navigating through the city with my husband's mobility scooter. The food was delicious and she was very knowledgeable about Chinese history in San Francisco. I have used this company twice and highly recommend them.
