Culinary Walking Tour of Chinatown
With the Culinary Walking Tour of Chinatown you'll be able to explore the many back alleys, food markets and local restaurants of San Francisco's Chinatown by foot for a truly immersive experience. One Chinatown, the one from the bus, is interesting. The hidden Chinatown will surprise you with new adventures around every corner; artisans form Fortune Cookies by hand, practice their craft in small alleys using techniques handed down for thousands of years. The authentic cuisine will enliven your senses with new flavors, smells, and aromas.
You'll get to search out authentic crafts and pottery and explore exotic and unique Asian produce, herbs, and teas from the very people who know them best. You'll uncover hidden secrets only intrepid locals know, and you'll be astonished by the new finds in secret alcoves. You'll spend about three hours eating some of the most incredible food that you have ever had, from teas to Chinese pastries to all kinds of delicacies. And if that isn't enough, after all of that, you'll have the option of including a full meal at one of our favorite restaurants in Chinatown. Come and experience Chinatown the way it was meant to be explored -- like a local!
