| This tour was a very interesting insight into San Francisco's Chinatown. Our guide, Chuck, was very knowledgeable and amiable. He shared his information in an amusing way. He had a particularly good historical knowledge and also had a good understanding of the local people and customs. The places we visited on the tour were relevant and related well to the historical information that Chuck gave to us on the tour. I also greatly appreciated the way that none of the vendors that we visited put any pressure on us to purchase from them. I personally mostly enjoyed the visit to the Tea Shop to learn about tea and the different methods and plants that produced tea. A very interesting tour and I would certainly recommend it to others who are interested in learning a little bit of the quirkyness of San Francisco. |

| This tour was recommended by a friend who has been to San Francisco many times. She was very excited to help me get set up! Once I arrived, Wow! Shirley greeted my daughter and me and made sure that we were comfortable and ready to go. We saw so many interesting sites and sounds! We were able to enjoy personal stories of growing up in China Town and the history behind China Town. It was worth every minute of time. Thank you Shirley and Emily! |

| I would have considered this tour a waste of money if it didn't end with a nice meal for lunch. Our tour guide was very nice but I couldn't hear half of what she said so within the first 15 minutes I gave up trying and found myself wishing I could just explore myself. I thought it would be more "food" based but it really wasn't it was more about the history of Chinatown but without touching much on the human element. I think this tour could change dramatically by the guide that is assigned to the group. Basically it was more talk than walk and ended with a good lunch. |

| We saw the tour on a local TV program earlier in the year. We were so glad we finally scheduled a time to go. Despite growing up in the area, we learned a lot of history with which we had been unfamiliar. We appreciated learning more about an area in which we find ourselves frequently as well as learning about stores and restaurants that we are sure to visit again in the future. |

| My family and I enjoyed the tour with Frank immensely! He was excellent: knowledgeable about Chinatown from personal experience. He grew up in SF Chinatown, so he had first-hand knowledge and personal attachment to the area. We also loved the food at the Dim Sum restaurant. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour that I first saw advertised on KRON 4 weekend news. |

| Highly recommended a great mix of history, anecdote and information. I learned things I never would have know if I'd just wandered about on my own. I also saw things I wouldn't have been able to access like the temple. I'm telling all my friends if they are ever in SF to go. |
