Description
Make the most of your trip to San Francisco by taking the most immersive Chinatown history and food tour. Enjoy tasting homemade Dim Sum, see how fortune cookies are made, and learn all the ins and outs of China's largest enclave outside of Asia.
Meet your tour guide at Dragon's Gate, the main entrance to San Francisco's Chinatown neighborhood, to begin your walking tour of Chinatown's most famous sights and hidden spots.
As you wander this colorful and lively neighborhood, listen to your guide's commentary on Chinatown's history, culture, and present-day authenticity. Stroll along Stockton Street past busy markets selling some of the city's freshest and most exotic foods, pass buildings designed like pagodas, and keep your camera out as you admire the eye-catching Chinese decorations adorning the streets.
Gain an understanding of the religious culture and history of Chinatown as you visit the ancient St. Mary's Cathedral. Take the opportunity to taste traditional spring rolls or pork buns at ICafe or Hang Ah (depending on the day of the tour)
At the next stop, Portsmouth Square, take your time to walk around and learn about this area's historical significance to the Gold Rush, California's beginnings, and the origin of Chinatown.
A Chinatown tour will never be complete if you don't get to taste the homemade Dim Sum. Join our guide for the next stop at Delicious Dim Sum, where you will enjoy probably the best Dim Sum you have ever eaten.
End your tour with a memorable visit to a fortune cookie factory, where you'll have the chance to taste them, learn about baking techniques, and reflect on the historical significance of fortune.
