Our guide Frank was a native of Chinatown. He knew history of the area and had great knowledge of the food. We dined at very authentic restaurants. The places where the locals go and not tourists. He was very personable and made the tour enjoyable. |

Had been on this tour a few years ago. This was very different, boring and the food was awful. My husband actually got sick! |

Born in Chinatown, Frank knew everyone and everything. He answered all questions, made detours to accommodate our requests, fed us well, gave us food photography pointers and had a great sense of humor. I would enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Chinese food, culture and history. |

Not only does the guide take you to wonderful places to explore Chinese food, but the information he shared and the people at the sites share, really enhanced the tour. Not to forget, the food was outstanding. |

Our tour included only two couples and our guide, Frank. The small size of the group made it much easier to discuss the food, the restaurants, and the area. Frank was knowledgable of the area and did a great job keeping us informed, entertained, and well fed. We highly recommend this food focused tour. |

I had a ton of fun on the "I can't believe I ate my way through Chinatown " tour. Frank, our host, was vivacious, fun and humorous and we ate SO well. I never would have tried some of the menu items - not that they were "scary" but I'd have stayed with something familiar and I loved almost everything. I particularly enjoyed the tea tasting. Great tour! |

Shirley was super fun and upbeat! She kept us in stitches while we grazed our way from one delicacy to the next. I have never eaten so well in Chinatown before. One surprising highlight was the tea tasting. Who knew that tea could be so complex? Perfect weather, great group of people, delicious and interesting food. I won't need to eat for a week! Thank you Shirley for a superb experience and I can't wait to read your book. |

We had a wonderful time eating our way through Chinatown. Shirley was delightful, funny, witty and very knowledgable. The diversity of the cuisine was fascinating. Don't plan on Americanized Chinese food - Shirley will give you the real stuff! We highly recommend this tour if you have 3 hours for Chinatown and would enjoy a food adventure. |

My husband and I scheduled this tour because we wanted an authentic Chinese experience. The food was amazing and Shirley does an awesome job ordering all different kinds of dishes and showing us various foods along the way. It was a wonderful food tour and I left very full :)
However I thought there was going to be more history involved. So if you are looking to learn the history of Chinatown take the other tour first. But if you love to eat and are only there to experience delicious food then by all means take this tour. |
