| 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. |

| The guide was informative. Gave us the history of how and why the Chinese immigrated and how Chinatown was established. Helped us understand what life was like for these immigrants over 100 years ago. She also gave us experiences of her childhood growing up in Chinatown.
We sampled tea at a local shop, visited a temple and ended the tour with a variety of delicious Chinese food. |

| We had a great time on this tour and the lunch was absolutely delicious. Don't eat anything for breakfast because there is soooo much for lunch!
Also, the tea house did a FABULOUS job - very professional and interesting. Fortune cookie factory was a little weak, but the cookies were great!
I would definitely recommend this tour. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our leader, Dorothy, was so wonderful, beautiful and remembered each of our names! The luncheon was different than anything I had ever tasted. Enjoyed that too. You are never too young or old to learn new things about each other and enjoy their history.
Thanks |

| I loved our tour guide. She was lovely and interesting and articulate. She gave us so much insight to the Chinese history and community of San Francisco. I enjoyed the various shops -- particularly the tea shop - but felt a little rushed. Lunch was good but not great. |

Just ok

| Seemed to be a marketing tour of various shops where the guide would like you to shop at. Some history and information but could have been much better and filled with historic and modern day information. Just ok. |
