Day Culinary Tour of San Francisco Chinatown - Walking and Culinary Tour

ENJOY A CULINARY JOURNEY THROUGH SAN FRANCISCO'S CHINATOWN

Best City Tour for 2006 and 2007” by Citysearch and a “Must See” by the California Travel and Tourism Commission.

There are two Chinatowns, one that you see from a van or bus, and the one that can only be experienced on foot in the back alleys, food markets, and local restaurants.

Chinatown by bus is interesting, however, our Chinatown will surprise you with new adventures around every corner. In our Chinatown, artisans form Fortune Cookies by hand. In our Chinatown, artisans practice their craft in small alleys using techniques handed down for thousands of years. And in our Chinatown, the authentic cuisine will enliven your senses with new flavors, smells, and aromas.

We'll search out authentic crafts and pottery, and explore exotic and unique Asian produce, herbs, and teas from the very people who know them best. We'll uncover their hidden secrets only intrepid locals know. And you'll be astonished by the new finds in secret alcoves. Join our sojourn into the hidden Chinatown and you too will be amazed.

 

And, as you taste and see everything from dim sum, fortune cookies, teas, incredible antiquities, all kinds of musical instruments, authentic cookware, and more, you'll know you've really experienced Chinatown. On every one of our sojourns into San Francisco neighborhoods we'll go into local bakeries, restaurants, and cafes, and taste the food. Our adventures explore the soul of a neighborhood. San Francisco is one of the culinary capitals of the world! 

We do not go and look at tourist shops. We go into and spend time with local artisans as they practice their crafts, whether it is calligraphers, bakers, or families who have been fishing for generations. We'll take you into the places that are reasons most San Franciscans cannot ever think of leaving here, the places that evoke the creativity and lifestyle that is unique to San Francisco. We have a passion for life, for trying new things, for living life to its fullest. Our goal is that after you join our explorations, you will take that passion with you. After experiencing the real zeal of this place, we know you will. And not only will you leave your heart in San Francisco; you may find that you have left part of your soul here.
