This was great tour. It was well planned so that e were easily able to walk the streets of the area early enough in the day that the streets were not crowded and we could easily see what was being described as well as hear our guide, Marvin, was great...both knowledgeable and funny. The food choices were varied and well prepared. The size of the group was just right, too. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to taste and see an important part of San Francisco.

Kacie knew the mission well, and we loved her smile and great enthusiasm. The tacos were especially good! Worth it for 3 hour walking tour.

Lauren was our guide through Chinatown and she did a wonderful job of showing us hidden culinary gems and regaling us with the history of Chinatown from the mid 19th century to present day. The tour ended with a tea tasting that was as interesting as it was relaxing. I would highly recommend this tour and this tour guide!

The Chinatown Sidewalk Food Tour was a great experience! Our guide, Angela was friendly, bubbly, had great energy and was very knowledgeable of Chinatown, it's rich history and it's delightful food! We walked the bustling streets and infamous alleyways of Chinatown sampling flavorful treats like BBQ pork buns, onion cakes, pot-stickers, noodle dishes, congee soup, Peking duck, dim sum and egg tarts. Angela informed us of the Chinese philosophy of living in balance which reflected in the food-- a little savory, a little sweet, a LOT delicious! Even if you've been to San Francisco Chinatown before and have tasted some of the same dishes (as I have), this tour highlights many places that you may not have visited, as well as their versions of dishes that may be better than the ones you've tasted in the past (or at least a little different). I don't want to spoil anything but there were also a few unmentioned, surprise stops along the way that was equally fascinating and gives a deeper understanding of Chinatown and it's culture. A great time! Don't miss it!
