| The food was pretty good and a good variety. There was some information about the food and Chinatown. We would have preferred much more information about both. Shirley was very energetic, very nice, and gave individual attention to everyone in the group. And it was a great group. |

| My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. We live near Sacramento and come to San Francisco quite often we hadn't visited Chinatown recently. We liked Shirley's humor very much. This is a trip that can be enjoyed by seniors or almost anyone. I would certainly be open to do this again or one Wok Wiz's other tours. By the way my wife and I travel to S. F. by Amtrac and play cards on the way.. |

| If you have the opportunity to participate in the "I Can't Believe" tour, don't pass it up. Shirley leads this tour personally. You will learn things you didn't know about Chinese food, but also about San Francisco, about Chinatown, and about the Chinese experience in the U. S. |

| What a wonderful experience. We've lived in the Bay Area for 30+ years and this is the first time we decided to take a China Town tour. We were a small group of about seven with Shirley as our guide. We ate in local establishments, watched the chef cook food, learned and tasted "real" tea from China, laughed, talked, shared and ate. This is one tour I would recommend. Shirley gave us short historical lectures standing next to the places she was lecturing about. Although my wife and I have been married for some time it was a great date experience also. Dr Horn |

| Shirley Fong-Torres is a master. She escorted us through some most memorable Chinatown experiences. From the Red Blossom Tea Shop to Yuet Lee's restaurant, we enjoyed every minute. There was a spontaneity to the tour that extended into great conversations about food. We'll do it again! |

| An excellent and informative tour conducted by the effervescent Shirley Fong-Torres. A great introduction to Chinatown for the out of town visitor, and a treat for long time residents. Tour includes humor, variety, and some great food. Thanks, Shirley! |

| Best tour ever. I would do it again. So much food to eat. Everything was delicious. Very good information was provided about people, markets, food, things that are done in Chinatown by the locals. Very interesting. I felt very special by Shirley. This was a great tour, worth every penny. Do it!!!! |
