When your tour to Alcatraz gets cancelled, book this instead - Kenric was a phenomenal tour guide on our trip through San Francisco’s China town. His knowledge and personal perspective during the tour was a welcome addition and a highly recommended experience when visiting SF. 10/10

The Chinatown food tour with Jinny - Our guide, Jinny, was terrific! She has an impressive knowledge of SF history, food and culture, and we really enjoyed touring Chinatown with her and our group. We ate at delicious restaurants that we never would have found on our own. It was a fun and interesting way to spend the morning, and I recommend checking it out!

Fascinating and delicious tour! - We did a Sidewalk Tour for our annual staff appreciation event. We had a wonderful time! Our guide, Jinny, was warm, engaging and so knowledgeable and made it a great experience. And the food was excellent! Highly recommended.

Amazing SF experience. Can’t recommend it enough - Jinny exceeded all expectations and curated a first rate experience for our group. Her energy level, knowledge, and obvious love for the city of SF created for a memorable experience. One of the members stated “why have I never done something like this before “

Spectacular experience! - Jinny was amazing and did a wonderful job accommodating us while navigating through the city with my husband's mobility scooter. The food was delicious and she was very knowledgeable about Chinese history in San Francisco. I have used this company twice and highly recommend them.

Perfect way to experience all of Chinatown! - Ted B. was exceptional providing both history and relative foodie info across a great mix of Chinatown. We packed a great deal into 3 hours - a little walking between courses was VERY welcome!! Would definitely do this again (our 10 and 12 year old children thoroughly enjoyed the experience!).
