STRETCHY PANTS FOOD TOURS

We offer small group food experiences for people who love food, fun, and flavor. We believe laughter and learning belong together and that local food tells a story that connects us all.

Whether you’re a local, tourist, or a newbie, we want to show you all the hidden food gems around you. We keep it small & private, with a focus on fun. You’ll leave hungry for more.

Here’s what to expect:

Learn the history of the area and its food trends
Taste and hear stories of the food from local vendors and restaurants
Leave full and informed and perhaps a bit tipsy (if you play your cards right!)

Attended the SF Tea and Dim food tour. It was delightfully delicious. Robin, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Great balance of history and food We're SF locals, but we joined this tour with some friends who were visiting from out of town. It was such a great way to learn about some of the hidden gems of Chinatown and to reacquaint ourselves with this fantastic part of our city. Robert did an excellent job of balancing the history with the food experiences and he was always up for answering our questions. We enjoyed every one of the food and beverage stops on this tour from the dim sum and peking duck to boba tea and especially the tea tasting. Robert even gave us some tips for where to purchase some of our favorite Chinese baked goods after the tour. Another highlight was visiting the temple and hearing about its history from the charming woman who is its caretaker. We plan to recommend this tour to any of our friends or family members who come to visit San Francisco!

Fabulous tour What a fun evening! We were celebrating a friend’s birthday and since she loves ghost tours and Italian food, this was a perfect fit. The stops were a great mix of entertaining storytelling and yummy food. Robert is a phenomenal guide who was so thoughtful and knowledgeable. We even enjoyed a special birthday treat for my friend and another guest—complete with candles! Really couldn’t ask for more.

Chinatown Walking Tour is an outstanding opportunity to learn fascinating details about a treasured neighborhood in San Francisco. Our guide, Robin, made so many delightful selections throughout the day. From the start of the tour at House of Dim Sum throughout the 3 hours, we were treated to the sweet and savory tastes of good food and the kindness of new friends. We also adored seeing historical and cultural buildings and artifacts of Chinatown. We highly recommend this tour to folks who wish to explore beyond the beautiful shops to the secret pathways and delicious side streets.

This tour was awesome! It was a “public” tour but felt private as there were only three other people on the tour and they were awesome!Meeting up with Robin was seamless and easy and the communication was excellent. We tasted a variety of dim sum foods to start, boba tea, fried duck, and then ended with a magnificent tea tasting. The tea tasting was definitely my favorite part. The thoughtful personalization was excellent here. To end the tour, Robin gave us egg tarts which was such a nice gesture. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting SF and who wants to immerse themselves in Chinese culture and food. Wear comfortable clothes, shoes and dress in layers for the weather!

Really fun. Great history. Tons of food and treats and tea. I’m a local and I learned a lot about the area too. There’s a reason there’s so many 5 stars!

Rob did a great job communicating ahead of the meet up, answering questions through out, and the food portions were very generous! Amazing food and history insights.

We enjoyed our Chinatown food tour with Robert. He was very informative and knowledgeable about the history, the people, and the food. We were there on the first day of the lunar new year so there were crowds of people trying to get into the restaurants but because we were with the tour we were immediately moved to the front of the line and seated promptly. The tea house with Uncle Gee was great. I highly recommend this tour!!
