Weave you through the most vibrant spaces and lesser-known sites on this tour. Take in the small bakeries, peek into a traditional Eastern pharmacy to see the various herbs and medicinal powders, and stop by the legendary Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory for insight into the art of fortune cookie making! Not only will you be able to try warm cookies just off the machine, but you will also take home a personalized treat just for you!
Begin your tour just outside the Dragon Gate, and journey into the heart of the neighborhood. As you see famed areas such as Old St. Mary's Cathedral and Waverly Place, your local guide will divulge the sometimes "too incredible to believe" stories and factual history. With visits to some stores loved by locals while keeping their foot in the traditional past, visit a local apothecary, a shop selling essentials of the afterlife, and a few of the "strictly locals" spots for dim sum, Sichuan, and Cantonese cuisine. At the famed Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory, warm treats await! See these handmade cookies come off the oven and take home a custom treat just for you!
For the closing of the tour, your guide will prepare you for your evening - departing at the crossroads of three “foodie” neighborhoods, where you can easily walk to some incredible places to enjoy dinner based on their experience and local knowledge.
