Are you a foodie? Have you tried traditional Cantonese dim sum--the small plate experience, the chopsticks, the steam-heated carts, the stacked steamer baskets, the lively conversations? The Tea! Perhaps you've never had the opportunity to learn the immense history involved with dim sum from a Cantonese-American guide (dim sum = "to touch the heart!"). This is your chance to join Wild Foodie Tours to enjoy a truly unique dining experience. We'll brunch on Cantonese-style dim sum, served fresh from traditional push-carts & steamer baskets. You'll learn about dim sum's Silk Road roots, flavorful teas, and traditional Southern Chinese etiquette. You'll pick and choose a variety of classic dim sum specialties like barbecue pork buns, rice crepes, and egg tarts--and become touched by the heart! After the meal, enjoy a walking tour through the Asian Cultural District of San Diego and end at a popular Asian supermarket for some quick shopping. Are you ready for the Wild East of dim sum?

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the San Diego Dim Sum Tour?

A: There aren't any strict age restrictions for the tour! It's great for all ages, but keep in mind that kids might enjoy the experience more if they have an adventurous palate. The dim sum is really fun for everyone, and the walking tour through the Asian Cultural District is pretty easy to manage. So, feel free to bring the whole family!

Q: What should I wear for the San Diego Dim Sum Tour?

A: Dress comfortably! It's a walking tour, so wear shoes you can walk in. Layers are good since we'll be moving from dim sum places to the outdoors. Also, you might want to avoid anything super fancy since it can get a bit messy with all that delicious dim sum!

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of our dim sum tour?

A: Wild Foodie Tours usually runs rain or shine, but if the weather is really bad, they might reschedule. They’ll notify you in advance if that's the case. Just keep an eye on the forecast, and maybe bring an umbrella just in case! The food spots are indoors, so you should be fine for the most part.

Just did the San Diego Dim Sum Tour—what an experience!

I went on the San Diego Dim Sum Tour last week, and it was amazing! The guide was super knowledgeable about the history of dim sum, and we got to try so many varieties—those barbecue pork buns were to die for! After brunch, we walked through the Asian Cultural District, which was really cool. If you're a foodie, you gotta check this out. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors!

Thinking of gifting the Dim Sum Tour—anyone recommend it?

I'm considering giving the San Diego Dim Sum Tour as a gift for my sister's birthday. She's super into food and hasn't tried dim sum yet! Do you think it’s a good idea? Is there anything I should know before I buy it?
