Fun and interesting tour
Wed, Feb 4  10:00 AM bmorte Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
The tour was fun, but I would have liked a bit more factual historical information. I really enjoyed the dim sum at the end of the tour. I also enjoyed the tea shop stop.

A real New Year's Eve Treat

Lola was a delight. She guided us through a very crowded New Year' eve in Chinatown. Her explanations helped us all understand what we were seeing. The visit to the tea company was a real treat and well worth the stop. We had others in the group with a small child. Lola took care to include the little one whenever appropriate. Lunch was very good with a nice variety of foods, well prepared and served. I would reccommend this tour to anyone whether a first time visitor or a San Francisco regular.

Fun and fascinating

Great Woz walk with Lola. She was informative, friendly and interesting. I saw parts of Chinatown I had never known about. As a resident of the Bay Area, I have walked through Chinatown for years,never realizing until now that I was walking through history. Lola brought it to life. We visited an herb shop,printing shop, tasted tea, had a Chinese lunch, saw the produce and poultry markets, visited the tiny alleys that are full of history and fascinating little shops. We learned about the history of the Chinese S.F. population from the gold rush era,etc. Altogether a worthwhile tour. Highly recommended.

Enthralled with Chinatown

Although I've visited Chinatown many times, Lola enthusiastically spun personal anecdotes that gave me much greater insight into what I was seeing. Hearing how the community has taken care of its members in the past plus how they continue to do so today was inspiring. Stories of the history, the culture and, of course, its food made for a fascinating and enjoyable morning.

The Guide Makes the Tour
Sat, Jan 10  10:00 AM wilsonduo97 Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
We appreciate that WokWiz provided a guide that was born and raised in Chinatown - living there 22 years before moving to a place with a garage. Lola was experienced, energetic, knowledgeable of the Chinese culture, Cantonese dialect and full of great stories which colored our walking tour. The highlights included a great education on tea and tea tasting as well as an authentic, substantial lunch right in the heart of Chinatown. Well worth the money to expand your cultural horizons.

Worth the trip
Wed, Jan 7  10:00 AM fakelies6 Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I got to see the side of China Town that I would not have otherwise been able to were it not for our tour guide. She grew up in the area and was very knowledgable on the sites, the sounds, the cuisine, and the culture. Overall I felt like it was a great experience and one that I would do again in a few years. The food was great at the end of the tour. Enjoy.

Highlight of my San Francisco trip
Sat, Jan 3  10:00 AM ssquilter Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I had been to San Francisco only once, 25 years ago, and I was looking for an activity to share with a high school girlfriend I had not seen since then who lives near SF and has worked there. From a hotel website I found out about the Wok Wiz tours and they sounded out of the ordinary and fun. My friend did not know much about Chinatown but likes Chinese food; I have many young friends from China and Taiwan on the East Coast and was eager to learn more about American Chinese culture. This tour was perfect. With only 10 of us that beautiful Sat morning, we could ask lots of questions and fit in small shops, but the best part was our guide. She had grown up in Chinatown and shared lots of cultural traditions we would never have learned otherwise. She did that as we toured and also at lunch in an uncrowded place around a round table where we could hear easily and feel like friends. The next day I returned by myself to most of the places we had been to take photographs and didn't feel like a complete gawking voyeur. I'll repeat the comment that the tea tasting at Red Blossom was a highlight of the tour. Alice and Peter know chemistry as well as taste. Despite my knowing a lot about tea, I learned much much more. This was the perfect activity for getting a feel for the city's history and distinctiveness and I highly recommend it!
