Overview

Make the best of your trip to San Francisco by joining the most engaging historical and food tour in
Chinatown.

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 commentary from your guide about Chinatown's history, culture, and present-day authenticity. Stroll down Stockton Street past busy markets selling some of the freshest and most exotic foods in the city, pass by buildings designed like pagodas, and have your camera out as you admire eye-catching Chinese decorations adorning the streets.

Gain an understanding of Chinatown's religious culture and history as you visit the Old Saint Mary's Cathedral. Get a chance to taste traditional Spring Rolls or Pork Buns at ICafe or Hang Ah (depending on the day of your tour)

At your next stop, Portsmouth Square, take your time to walk around and learn about the historical significance of this area for the Gold Rush, California's beginnings, and Chinatown's origin.

A Chinatown tour will never be complete if you don't get to taste a homemade Dim Sum. Join our guide to our next stop at Delicious Dim Sum, where you'll enjoy probably the best Dim Sum you've ever had.

Finish your tour with a memorable visit to a Fortune Cookie factory, where you will have the chance to taste them, learn about the cooking techniques, and think over the historical significance of fortune.
