Fantastic experience! Food was delicious and we were able to try great places that were off the beaten path. Our tour guide Ryan was knowledgeable and made the experience fun! His love for the city came through in every story he shared & place we visited. It was the best San Francisco experience & a must do for anyone who visits the city & likes to eat. If I could give this tour 10 stars I would.

This was a wonderful introduction to Chinatown and north Beach locations and restaurants. We have been here before but Andre’s insight and stories made it all seem new. The portions were generous and a variety of stops. Especially loved the fortune cookie shop and the tea room. Don’t forget to wear comfy shoes and wish for the type of weather we had today.

Our tour guide Scott is very knowledgeable about Chinatown and North Beach. We enjoyed everything we ate and learned a bit of history along the way.

Every detail in his commentary reflects his deep knowledge of the topics and the genuine passion that drives him. After taking tours in many cities over the years, I can confidently say this was one of the most interesting, fun, and well-organized experiences I’ve ever had. Thank you, André, for your kindness and attention to detail! PS : The tour took place on Halloween, which made it even more special and fun!😅 Highly recommend this tour in San Francisco!!!

Brian led us through a myriad of fantastic and interesting historical sights and keep us laughing the entire tour. The food was the best! A little lesson in chopstick etiquette was extremely helpful so I can quit embarrassing myself at friends! Experiencing Peking duck and a few more delicacies was fantastic and then the arancini! Buonissimo! Brian kept running into his friends along the way and one restaurateur invited us back that evening to a “closing” party with even a special liquor provision for 24-hour pours. And suddenly we felt like natives in North Beach. And there was more! The sweet ending of pizza and a cannoli was sad…because we had to say farewell to Brian until next time. Totally recommend this tour 100%.

Scott was an amazing tour guide, knowledgeable and obviously proud to be telling us the cultural and history of his town. He was responsive to the group’s needs and made sure we ate well and learned a lot. Great tour
