Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History
nicolehX6335YN, Sep 2026
Great experience
This was such a great tour. Andre, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and personable (and is quite an interesting individual in the best of ways).It just so happened to be a very small group (just 4 if us including our guide), which I loved. Chinatown and Little Italy have so much history, too much to experience in one trip, but Andre managed to pack A LOT into the 3-hour tour.TIP: Be sure to check the weather when packing and dress in layers if it's typical SF weather (55-65 degrees). I didn't enjoy it as much as I would've because I was chilly, but that's my fault for not dressing appropriately.

Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History

Chinatown/North Beach Walking Tour
I would recommend to do this first. Not intended to be a shopping tour, but educational and will help you identify what you really want to visit on your own time. Be patient, not everyone has proper table etiquette, especially at a round table. Some people always feel the need to get to the front of the line or they will miss out., don’t worry, there’s plenty to share. And if you have separate from your spouse during snacks, enjoy the opportunity to have a conversation with someone you’ve never had a conversation with. I enjoyed that. Help the tour guide by speaking up if there are no utensils or beverages at table. At last stop pizza arrived and there were no utensils. The pizza was thin, and hard transfer by hand. Sanitizer was readily available though. Glass of water was requested, but only 1/4, no ice, was poured???? Tour guide did ask about food allergies, but participants should use that opportunity to disclose such things as “I don’t eat pork”. Bring good walking shoes get familiar with group in case someone gets slowed in traffic. That will help the guide out. We were in SanFran 4 days, only thing I’d do differently is put this excursion 1st. Tour Guide have us extra time, about 1/2 hour extra. Tour could easily be 5 or 6 hours if you want to get in to it. I already know where my next meals will be. Thanks Andre’. I definitely recommend this tour on the front end.

Great trip, friendly & knowledgeable driver.
Absolutely fabulous tour of San Francisco in a classic VW T2b Transporter. Our driver Clay was friendly, told us loads about San Francisco as we drove round. Swapped peoples seating position in the VeeDub to ensure everybody got a different view. Plenty of photo opportunities too Culminating with a ‘spirited’ down Lombard Street before heading back to the pick up point

Sit back and relax…
Easiest way to see some of the more interesting attractions on limited time without the stress of having to manage on your own. Show up on time and get taken care of the rest of the day! I appreciated being able to sit back and enjoy the experience rather than worrying about navigation, schedule,driving,parking, etc.,. Would recommend the Alcatraz add-on.
