The perfect tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

We did this tour on our last day in San Francisco, what a fantastic way to end our trip. Our tour guide Jacob was so friendly and knowledgeable. We ate some of the best dim sum and the tour ended with a fascinating tea tasting experience. I don’t want to give any spoilers away but the tea tasting was so entertaining! Along the tour we learned so much about China Town, it’s an area of San Francisco steeped in history. I personally love dim sum so this was the perfect tour. Special shout out to Jacob who made the day extra special, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, just eat, drink and enjoy!

Best Food Tour Ever!

Published on Dec, 2024

We had the most amazing experience. Robert shared his passion for Chinatown, the culture, the history and of course the food. I have taken several food tours, this was by far the best!

Lots of Food and Great History

Published on Dec, 2024

This dim sum food tour was fantastic! Jacob was an excellent guide and shared many interesting facts about the area. I don't think I've ever had so much food on any other food tour - you will not leave hungry!

Great tour even for locals

We are local to San Francisco and were hosting out of town cousin. It was really a nice way to spend the afternoon! And see china town in a different light. Especially enjoyed the tea tasting. Thanks to our guide Robert

Trying new things

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a great chance to try food I had never eaten before. Jacob was a great guide with historical tidbits and funny jokes. My favorite part was the “Uncle” at the tea house. Such a wonderful man and a memorable experience
