| I really loved the personal touch offered by the tour guide. She was not simply telling a story. She was talking about her personal life, her neighborhood, her everything. |

| This tour was a great way the learn about the history of Chinatown. It was great to walk around and actually see some historical buildings and landmarks along with discovering some back alleys that lead to some fun and interesting places. We had three teenagers in my group and they all enjoyed the tour! And the lunch at the end was the icing on the cake! |

| Alberta was a fantastic guide. Even though I grew up here I have never done anything like this. I learned so much about the Chinese community and can't wait to explore Chinatown some more on my own. |

| I have always loved Chinatown, but now I have a little knowledge about how the Chinese people really live and some of their traditions.
Our tour guide was great. She was well spoken, friendly, and she gave us insight into Chinese culture. I never knew that many of the Chinese living in Chinatown do not have refrigeration and they shop daily for their food.
I also learned so much about tea that I wish I would have had a pad of paper to take notes.
If you want to know where to shop for something, just ask . Our tour guide knew where to buy herbs from a shop owner who speaks perfect english. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed this tour - our guide Dorothy was interesting and informative. I have teenage kids and they loved this and were enthralled by our guide constantly.
Thought we got a snack at the end, but had fantastic 5 course meal - great value and good fun. |

| We have been on several tours of Chinatown, but this was the most informative. The tea tasting was very educational and the dim sum was delicious. We thouroughly enjoyed ourselves. Being a native San Franciscan, I was delighted to go to "alleys' and tea shops that I had never been to. The jewelry shop recomendation was right on. |

| We all enjoyed the tour. Especially impressed with the lunch at the Far East Restaurant.
The only dissapointment was that our guide skipped the Fortune Cookie Factory. There were 4 small children in the group who were not too interested in the history of Chinatown, and I'm sure the Cookie Factory would have been the highlight for them.

| Our guide, Dorothy, enjoyed showing and sharing her home town with us as much as we enjoyed listening to her stories. She was well-informed and so pleasant. The lunch was great--we could have sat around the table and chatted for the rest of the afternoon--except that our young daughter, adopted from China, was anxious to go out and shop! |

| I received an education in Chinese culture, as well as the history of San Francisco and Chinatown. The visit to a temple was particularly illuminating. The tour guide was funny and enthusiastic. I highly recommend this tour. |
