Tour Description

The Secret Food Tour: San Francisco – North Beach and Chinatown offers an immersive journey through two of the city's most iconic neighborhoods. Unlike most tours that focus on just one area, this experience delves deep into both, highlighting the rich history and culinary traditions of each.

Participants will explore the Gold Rush-era Barbary Coast, sample a unique pizza with a topping straight from the Pacific, and experience the best of West Coast coffee culture. The tour also includes a selection of authentic dim sum and a surprise secret bite. Along the way, guests will learn about San Francisco’s famous cable cars, visit historic sites tied to The Godfather, and stroll through the alleys where the original miner 49’ers once traded their gold.
