Worth It
Courtney_R, Nov 2023
The best part of this trip was our guide Joy! She was knowledgeable and fun. Even my kids had fun on the tour and they are very hard to please. Would absolutely do another tour with her.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear Courtney_R, We are so proud of Joy! Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ It's wonderful to know that you and your kids were having fun. We are looking forward to welcoming you again. Sincerely, Andrii Walks & Devour Tours
San Francisco walking tour
Suzanne_M, Nov 2023
Joy was an excellent tour guide. It was definitely a WALKING tour. We put on 12,000 steps from 9:00am to 4:00pm. We learned so much at all the stops and got a real feel for the history of San Francisco.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear Suzanne_M, Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Joy provided an excellent tour experience for you. It sounds like you truly immersed yourselves in the history of San Francisco, covering a lot of ground with those impressive 12,000 steps! We hope to welcome you back for more enriching experiences in the future! Kindly, Andrii Walks & Devour Tours
Good place to see historical landmark.

First time experiencing in mate old jail. Good times to see. With service and information explaining by electronic device, we have learned a lot of jail operations and inmates living conditions.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear homsouvan, Sounds like you had a great time exploring the old jail for the first time! It must have been an informative and engaging experience. We are looking forward to your next visit! Best regards, Andrii Walks & Devour Tours
Great Day!
AmyK_T, Sep 2023
Great day with our guide, Levi! He was very personable and full of information. Meeting site was easy to find, and because our group ended up small - just 4 people - Levi took us through parts of Chinatown only the locals enjoy. We had no waiting at the Fortune Cookie shop, and it was fascinating to see the woman at work tucking in the little paper fortunes and hand folding the cookie into the classic shape we all know and love. Lots of cookies for sale, dipped in colored chocolate. Lunch was leisurely at our restaurant of choice in Little Italy and a lovely walk through interesting neighborhoods was unrushed. We arrived at the Alcatraz ferry area in plenty of time to relax and had more than enough time to explore Alcatraz. Be sure to grab a headset for the tour through the cells (free) - really quite interesting and gives you a flavor of life at Alcatraz as a prison. We really enjoy our day!
Great tour
Mario_D, Sep 2023
Great tour! Very informative and educational! Our guide was very friendly and accommodating. We spent a good amount of time in Chinatown and north beach. Highly recommend.
Fun! Informative! Not to be missed!
JoAnn_B, Aug 2023
GREAT guide- Christopher was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of walking 🚶‍♀️ but frequent stops. Enjoyed the fortune cookie shop hidden in an alley was a favorite.
Bad time
Marcio_E, Aug 2023

My San Francisco
Carole_B, Jul 2023
Pier 39, Marie’s knowledge of the history of San Francisco. The food, the ferry to Alcatraz. It was a wonderful trip.
Fun and informative tour!
Bethany_S, Jul 2023
Wonderful tour. Joy was an awesome guide. I love hearing about the history of the area I’m in. She answered all questions and gave great tips. Would love to do another tour with her and this company on our next visit!
Chinatown and Alcatraz
michael_j, Jun 2023
Excellent day out. Starting with a tour of Chinatown finishing with the trip to Alcatrax, Thanks to Joy on being a great and knowledgeable tour guide
The walk through...
Nicole_L, Jun 2023
The walk through Chinatown and Little Italy was enjoyable. Know that this is a walking tour and it is a lot of walking. We enjoyed Alcatraz the most, the daily guide was not able to join for that.

Brilliant tour
Michelle_S, May 2023
Maggie our tour guide was fabulous, really knowledgeable of the area. Great trip to see all the best sights. Stopped in the North beach area for food which was amazing. Had some amazing fortune cookies from the fortune factory in Chinatown. Well worth booking and would recommend
Very well Organized
AFRAH_A, Dec 2022
I arrived on time and found my tour guide waiting for me & there were two couples were supposed to join us but they didn’t show up so we’ve decided to go on time. Tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and she helped me out with few recommendations during my stay in San Francisco & we ended up at the Ferry entrance to Alcatraz Jail Island which was amazing and must be visited when in San Francisco 👍🏻

Super tour!
January_M, Oct 2022
We were so fortunate to be the only tourists for Maggie to entertain! Totally informative and awesome experience! Great tour! Highly recommend!
Could have been much better.
Joyce_J, Aug 2022
We had expected to have lunch in Chinatown. We were somewhat disappointed that our tour guide, in front of foreign nationals, expressed that the entire United States was stolen. Our guide was interested in the street art, so that’s mostly what we saw.
lots of history
Gary_N, Aug 2022
we both wanted to see Alcatraz and got to, learning of the fire was cool, and how they reclaimed the brick. Seeing the different spots in China town then returning to them later to shop was very enlightening fulfilling and worth the walk. Yes we would do this at a later date if we return to S/F.
Great day in Chinatown/Alcatraz.
Shelyn_P, Jul 2022
Maggie was a great tour guide. Knowledgeable and so pleasant. 5 stars. Alcatraz tickets were not until 3:20 which made for a long day but Maggie kept us entertained until boarding.

Chinatown/Alcatraz
Waukisha_S, Nov 2021
Maggie was an awesome tour guide. She made Chinatown come to life through her stories. Alcatraz was amazing as well....wld be better if we had a life tour guide but the audio was okay
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Dear Waukis, We are thrilled to read you had such a good time with Maggie on our Alcatraz Island Ticket with Chinatown tour, and that she was able to make both sites come alive for you! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, we really hope to walk with you again soon! Warm regards,
Worth the money
stanlbutler, Nov 2021
The guide was very knowledgeable about the tour. It was great. The only thing that was a bit irritating was if it was a china town tour then why were all the places we were given to eat Italian?
