Spend three hours eating your way through San Francisco Chinatown with a small group of up to 10. Expect dim sum, Peking duck, a pastry, bubble tea, fortune cookies, and a lively tea tasting. Guides such as Robert, Jacob, Robin, and Marcy add local stories, though the exact guide and food stops can vary.
