Boston Chinatown Market Tour

Excellent. Great insight to the food culture etc.Excellent guide with the personatlity and knowledge to match.

A group of us longtime friends did the Chinatown tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Jim was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable. He provided many interesting stories and insights on Chinatown and its history, including info that we locals did not know. The tour included stops in shops ranging from bbq to bakeries, with a delicious dim sum lunch at the end. Plus lots of tips and advice along the way to remove any intimidation about visiting the shops on our own. I would definitely recommend the tour.

The guide did exactly what he said he hoped to achieve; I'll go to Chinatown more and not feel totally intimidated. Also, it was great to get to snack along the way!

We enjoyed the Chinatown tour very much. Our leader was friendly, helpful and adorable. I recommend this tour.

The Boston Chinatown Market Tour was incredible. My friends and I had such a great time learning and eating our way through Chinatown. Jim Becker was outstanding as our guide. He gave exceptional information about places to see, shop and dine. He is both humerous and interesting. We highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide (Jim Becker) was very knowledgeable about the history of Chinatown as well as the food. He speaks Chinese and has a relationship with the shop owners. We visited some very interesting shops including a Chinese pharmacy full of herbal remedies. We visited the grocery store and learned about many of the products. And of course we tasted some wonderful food. It ended with a delicious dim sum lunch. I also highly recommend the Little Italy tour which we did a couple of years ago. I wish there were more like this.

The culinary tour of Chinatown is a "not to be missed" experience. The tour guide, Jim, is part chef, part history professor, part comparison shopper and all entertainment. You will learn lots about a relatively unknown part of Boston, lots about the sometimes confusing ingredients of Chinese cooking and eat a delicious dim sum lunch. The pace is never slow but Jim answered all our questions. This is a very enjoyable way to spend a morning.

What a wonderful tour with a very experienced and knowledgeable guide. Jim has so much information which he shares enthusiastically with the group.The sun shone as we walked around the streets tasting lovely cakes and sweets finishing with an amazing dim sum lunch.I have taken both the China town and the North End tours and would highly recommend them both.

What a morning!!! From the time we started our tour until Jim wished us all farewell the day was everything we had hoped for. Jim has an excellent understanding of the area and the people. He made our trip interesting with his knowledge of the food and culture. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone going to Boston.

Fascinating history and colorful anecdotes on Boston's Chinatown, with excellent visits to local bakeries, traditional Chinese pharmacy, BBQ, and grocery. Dim Sum was super! We would love a tour dedicated to just Chinese groceries -- how to shop for and prepare simple traditional foods.
