One of the best food tours I have been on, and I have been on many - Cynthia was so organized, we didn't have to wait for any of our stops for the staff to take care of us. The history along with stops to see other things (beside food) in both locations were great and unexpected. We sat down for two meals one in each location, never feeling rushed. We had a tea tasting, which was very educational besides fun. saw how they get the white strip of paper inside fortune cookies. Went to see a rehearsal of a program with acrobats, which we came back later to see the show. Definitely kept busy for the 4 hours.

Busy start to any trip. - Isabella was excellent. Not only the food knowledge but her general challenge of SF is amazing. I would say do this trip early in your holiday as there will be tons of take away you would like to do afterwards. 100% this is a great activity.

Eat your way through San Fran - Don’t go hungry. So much food. Great history along the way. Lots of spots to come back to in the future. Would recommend this to anyone. Does involve some walking (of course) but fairly flat in this part of the city. Guide was knowledgeable. Sometimes a little quiet but we stayed near the front. Took the kids as well and everyone loved it.

Excellent way to see San Francisco - My son (15) and I took this tour on a short trip to San Francisco. It was excellent. The tour was really interesting and engaging, even including a tea tasting that I wouldn't have thought of on our own. We ended the 4 hour tour full of delicious bites but not stuffed. It was a fun and unique afternoon that I would definitely recommend!

Great way to experience Chinatown/North Beach! - We took the Chinatown/North Beach walking tour with Brian. We had the best time! He was funny, full of good stories and the food stops were great! All the locals knew him and he took us to unassuming/off the beaten path places. We would have never been able to experience these places on our own the same way. I highly recommend this tour!
