    Amazing Food Tour, Highly Recommend

    We had the most amazing time on this food tour. Albert was a super host. Before we began, he shared a brief history of Chinese cuisine. We then proceeded to have a multiple course meal that featured several typical Chinese and Cantonese dishes. Everything was outstanding. While we ate with Albert, he spoke to us about the dishes, while sharing tips on how to use chopsticks and say thank you as tea is being served. We were the only people on this tour, so it felt like a very private, VIP experience. Albert was so very kind and accommodating. We were super impressed by his knowledge of not only Chinese food, but of the area surrounding the restaurant. After dinner, we walked over to a grocery store and Albert gave us a mini-tour where he pointed out unique items and spoke about where those foods originated from and how they are eaten. All in all, we had an excellent time. This tour was one of the highlights of our San Diego trip. When we come back, we will definitely tour again with Albert. Thank you, Albert, for being so wonderful to us. We appreciate you!

    Food tour

    Albert was a wonderful tour guide! We greatly enjoyed the San Diego Chinese food tour, as well as another food tour of his we took part in last year. The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed having Albert as a tour guide! Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for joining me and Wild Foodie Tours for a second food tour. Be sure to visit us again the next time you're in San Diego.

    This food tour was very nice. The restaurant had beautiful authentic Chinese decor. The food selections were delicious. Albert, our tour guide, was very pleasant and passionate about Chinese food and Asian culture.

    Response from the operator: Hi Cilicia, I had such a fun time with you on our San Diego Chinese Food Tour! It brings me great joy to be able to share my culture with others.

    Great tour!

    Great tour with plenty of food and information. Couldn’t eat anymore! Had a variety of food and all types were delicious with explanations of each type explained.

    Response from the operator: I had an amazing time with you and Ken while diving into Chinese food and culture. I hope you'll join me again when you're in San Diego perhaps for the San Diego International Food Tour or Tijuana Street Food Tour. Thank you once again and happy cruising!

    Fabulous, authentic Chinese experience!

    Albert was excellent! Lots of information about Chinese cuisine and culture! We even shopped at an Asian market! I would go again for the Peking Duck! The dim sum was yummy 😋

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for joining our San Diego Chinese Food Tour! We love diving into Chinese food and culture with other travelers. I hope to see you again the next time you're in San Diego.

    San Diego Chinese Food Tour with Wild Foodie Tours: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Diego.

    How much does San Diego Chinese Food Tour with Wild Foodie Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Diego usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does San Diego Chinese Food Tour with Wild Foodie Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Diego is not rushed.

    Is San Diego Chinese Food Tour with Wild Foodie Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Diego, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule San Diego Chinese Food Tour with Wild Foodie Tours?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is San Diego Chinese Food Tour with Wild Foodie Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book San Diego Chinese Food Tour with Wild Foodie Tours?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Diego can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Diego and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does San Diego Chinese Food Tour with Wild Foodie Tours start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Diego within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in San Diego?

    +

    San Diego is an outdoor-first city: whale watching from December through April, La Jolla kayak and snorkel runs year round, harbour cruises and the USS Midway, plus Balboa Park museums when the marine layer sits low. We rank water operators on group ratios and gear quality, which is where the cheap La Jolla trips fall down. On Outty we rank every San Diego experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date, Taste of Little Italy in San Diego, San Diego Whale Watching Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit San Diego?

    +

    March to May and September to November, either side of the June overcast. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in San Diego?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
