Overview

On our Secret Food Tour: San Francisco - North Beach and Chinatown, you’ll experience the most iconic parts of “The City by the Bay.” Our experienced guides will take you on a delicious journey through the Gold Rush days of the Barbary Coast. While most tour companies only focus on one neighborhood over the other, we dive deep into both to offer you a taste of the best of both worlds. On your journey, you’ll bite into pizza with a surprise topping straight from the Pacific bay! You will explore West Coast coffee culture and find yourself wanting more of our secret bite! You’ll also discover the inner workings of our world famous cable cars, investigate the naughty red light district, uncover where the “The Godfather” was written and conceived, and wander through the alleys where the original miner 49’ers cashed in their sacks of new found gold. All in one afternoon!

Chinatown

Chinatown is North America’s oldest Chinese enclave and the historic heart of San Francisco. Founded in the 1850s, it’s a symbol of resilience that survived the 1906 quake and discriminatory laws. It revolutionized SF's food culture by introducing dim sum, the fortune cookie, and vibrant wet markets to the West. Today, it remains a dense, bustling hub where pagoda architecture, hidden alleyways, and legacy eateries blend immigrant traditions with modern Cantonese fine dining.
