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, savor dim sum like you’ve never tasted, 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!

Meeting points

Outside the entrance the entrance to the San Francisco Cable Car Museum. Your guide will be waiting for you with an orange umbrella and a big smile!

Itinerary

  • Cable Car Museum (Pass By)

    The Cable Car Museum is a free museum in the Nob Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California. Located at 1201 Mason Street, it contains historical and explanatory exhibits on the San Francisco cable car system, which can itself be regarded as a working museum.

  • North Beach

    North Beach, a buzzy neighborhood steeped in Italian heritage, draws locals and tourists to its checked-tablecloth trattorias, coffee shops and retro-flavored bars. The spirit of the Beat Generation can be felt at the storied City Lights bookstore and the memorabilia-filled Vesuvio Cafe bar. In Telegraph Hill the Filbert Steps offer a scenic hike to the iconic Coit Tower, with WPA-era murals and panoramic views.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Coit Tower (Pass By)

    Coit Tower is a 210-foot tower in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California, offering panoramic views over the city and the bay. The tower, in the city's Pioneer Park, was built between 1932 and 1933 using Lillie Hitchcock Coit's bequest to beautify the city of San Francisco.

  • Chinatown

    This is one of the oldest and most established Chinatowns in the U.S. Beyond iconic Dragon’s Gate, a bustling maze of streets and alleys brims with dim sum joints and other traditional eateries. Also found are herbalists, bakeries, souvenir shops, and dark cocktail lounges and karaoke bars. There are ornate temples, including the landmark Tien How, as well as the Chinese Historical Society of America Museum.

Great way to get to know two SF neighborhoods

Published on Jan, 2025

What a great way to explore, learn about, and eat the foods of two vibrant SF communities. Our tour host, Jamie, was great - so knowledgeable about all of SF, not just North Beach and Chinatown. We made frequent short sidewalk stops, in addition to the official food stops, where Jamie shared history and stories. The food stops were fun and delicious. Good weather allowed us to eat our pizza in a park. We were pleasantly stuffed at the end of the tour. Highly recommend.

Sweet and savory in San Francisco

Published on Jan, 2025

Jamie shared a lot of history with us. We visited 5 locations plus had a surprise dessert! It was great. Will be looking into his mission hill tour.

Great intro to SF!

Published on Jan, 2025

We learned so much about the city! Yummy food too! Loved walking through the active part of Chinatown!

Great tour, great food, great guide

Published on Jan, 2025

Jamie had a great wealth of knowledge about the city, its history, and the best places to eat. He’s super friendly, and willing to provide recommendations of the area if you just ask

Tour shines through the rain!

Published on Dec, 2024

Had a great walking food tour with Dara of Secret Food Tours. Did the China Town/North Beach tour where Dara’s depth of knowledge and love of the city shone through the fog and rain. She’s delightful and a wonderful guide. She answered all of my nerdy questions and even got smiles from my typically moody teenager.
