Wok Wiz Daily Tour

Dorothy was our tour guide. Being born in Chinatown, she made it very personal and informative while sharing some very interesting stories.

Our tour guide, Dorothy, was knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. I learned many fascinating tidbits about Chinatown, its history and the Chinese culture. The tour was just the right length (about two hours) and ended with a delicious dim sum lunch.

I saw things and learned things I probably would not have accomplished on my own. I took away more than if I had wandered around Chinatown on my own.

We greatly enjoyed our two-hour walk, which provided in-depth information on Chinatown history and culture. The culinary portion was less than we expected, but came in the form of an excellent eight-course dim sum lunch at the end.

Alberta was a great tour guide! She told us many personal stories and not only gave us a tour of Chinatown, but also gave us the background on customs and beliefs. Very interesting, educational and entertaining! She also gave us some great tips on where to shop after the tour. I/we were so pleased!!!!

We very much enjoyed Hank's tour. He shared a lot of little stories from his childhood growing up in Chinatown and showed us some neat things we would have never come across on our own (specialty tea shop, fortune cookie factory, buddhist temple, and much more). We would take other out of towners on the tour without hesitation. If there is a suggestion for improvement it would be to hear a little more historical facts and statistics about how Chinatown came to be, etc. The tour concluded with a very delicious Chinese multi course meal in a good restaurant in the heart of China town.

I have 4 children ages 15,13, 11 and 7. I wanted them to really understand Chinatown and not just see it as another tourist attraction. Bernice helped to explain the issues in Chinatown, past, present and future. I think it was a great learning experience for the kids and I learned too. I do think the restaurant could do more to cater to the kids with offers of rice and perhaps a soup or something that wouldn't be so unusual for kids who haven't experienced Chinese cuisine before. Overall, I recommend this for anyone who wants to learn more about Chinatown and is willing to walk alot and be open minded to new experiences. It helps if you ask questions too! Make sure to ask for really explicit directions to their office/meeting place. I found it a little hard to find as I was unfamiliar with the area.

Chuck was delightful and informative. Liked the tea visit and the fortune cookie visit. Could have done with a lot less info on the Chinese vegetables. Restaurant was yummy, would have liked more Dim Sum (shoe -pow, and shoe mao, sp?? and less Chinese (beef broccoli?) I also think a soft drink should have been included in the price.

The tour was wonderful and it was very exciting while at the same time it was interesting. The tour consisted of taking a tour of Chinatown with stops all through out the town. From stopping at a Tea Shop and sampling tea to stopping in Fortune Cookie Shop and getting a fresh sample it was all enjoyable. Then the tour was followed by a six course meal at a Chinese Resteraunt which was substanioul. But overall it was a fabulous tour!

The tour guide was somewhat informative, but the talk wasn't all that interesting. the food was good. The guide asked if anyone had dietary restrictions; no one did, but the menu was pre-selected so I am not sure what they do if anyone does have dietary restrictions. I think we could have done just as well walking through Chinatown ourselves. This tour may have been better if our tour guide was more professional and dynamic. We would not recommend this tour. Our children (age 11, 17)did not like it.
