Overview

Join us as we traverse through the enchanting back alleyways, delve into the intriguing world of Chinese Tongs, and uncover the secrets of hidden gambling alleys, then gradually immerse into the Italian District. Discover why every Chinatown in the USA lies adjacent to Little Italy and learn about the cultural traditions of these two vibrant neighborhoods!

The tour takes 2 hours and it covers most of Chinatown and Little Italy. Venture into the hidden alleyways, where the tales of generations past are etched into the walls before we find ourselves in the renowned Italian district, Little Italy. Experience the fascinating juxtaposition of cultures, as Chinese and Italian traditions blend harmoniously. We’d be telling stories about places, people, art, historic events, and current affairs.

We visit Dragon Gate, Chinese Lanterns, Old St. Mary Cathedral, Old Pagodas, Ross Lane, the Gambling Alleys, The Bohemian Place, Banksy Street Art, Little Italy in San Francisco, and many more non-touristic points along the way.

The tour ends at 10 pm. Our grand finale awaits at the best pizza joint in town.
