Chinatown: Tea & Dim Sum Food Tour in San Francisco

The history was fascinating. The food was unbelievable. Though the terrain was challenging because it my mobility issues Robert did his best to minimize any problems. A truly relaxing tour.

Tour was overall enjoyable and food was good, even our kids (10-14yo) found new things that they loved out of the Dim Sum, Peking duck, Szechuan green beans, and the Chinese tea store. Fortune cookie factory was fun, but very brief, since there's a line out the door. Boba tea was good, and egg tarts were novel but not universally loved. Our primary disappointment was that the tour guide had limited stories to share about the area & stores we visited. She tended to repeat information or defer questions until later and then not come back to them. Much of the info centered around the early gold rush period, which was interesting, but I would have loved more information about the Chinese Americans and their experiences over the last 150 years in San Francisco. Perhaps a lot of that information is negative, but as an outsider white American, I had hoped to understand more of their experience. I felt like that aspect was lacking, and our family really only took away the experience of the food.

Come hungry and willing to try new things! Lots of different flavors and interesting facts about Chinatown.
