A fun way to experience Chinatown
Nancy_K
, Aug 2022
I would recommend this tour as a very good way to explore Chinatown. Our guide Brian was very knowledgeable about this unique neighborhood of San Francisco. He explained the history of Chinatown and took us to a variety of places to get a good flavor of the area, including a Catholic church that survived the San Francisco earthquake, a kite shop and a kitchen goods supply store. The owner at the kitchen goods store said if you aren't cooking with a wok, you aren't cooking! Along the way, we sampled pork and onion buns, a moon cake and chocolate.
We also drank many different kinds of tea at a store run by a very colorful 92 year-old man who said he has drunk tea all his life. This made one of our sons decide to start drinking more tea.
We especially enjoyed the tea tasting experience and the two restaurants we visited where we sampled pot stickers, roast duck, Chinese vegetables, Chinese-style green beans and chow mein noodles. Come hungry because you will get plenty of food to eat and tea to drink.

This tour was amazing!!! Our tour guide was super personable and her presentation was funny but informative. Tons of great history of SF, mixed with really great food tastings. I feel like we got the whole experience of Chinatown. I would definitely do this again. We also loved “uncle” from the tea shop.
Good way to experience Chinatown

We had a wonderful tour with Isabella as our guide. She was easy going and full of great stores and information. Our 2 teenagers loved it (hard act to follow!). The food sampling and tea sampling were amazing! Highly recommend by parents and teens alike ! Thanks Isabella for a great experience!
This is a Must-Do Experience!

I think Isabella may be the best tour director we have ever met. Her knowledge and personal experiences made the trip so fun! We are in our 60’s and have taken many tours. Even my husband thought it was interesting and well worth the price! So much interesting food was provided; everyone on the tour was impressed. No need for dinner after this tour! Highly recommend this tour and hope Isabella is your tour guide. She’s great!
Highly recommend!

Isabella is a remarkable tour guide! She warmly greeted us with a smile and a few Chinese food treats that I don’t remember the name of but both were delicious. The 3 hour tour consisted of lots of walking but not too bad and we stopped frequently where Isabella pointed out interesting sites with history and little stories. We stopped for tastings at Jade Chocolate for amazing and unique Bonbons, the original fortune cookie factory, a bakery, a tea tasting and two restaurants. Plenty of delicious foods! This tour is a must if you want to get into the Chinatown experience!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
