| I was very impressed with the tour, and incredibly impressed by our tour guide Howard. He obviously knew his stuff, and it was great to hear some local knowledge and the kindof interesting tidbits of information that you wouldn't find in guidebooks. The dim sum lunch was also very good. I would certainly recommend the tour to a friend. Thanks |

| My daughter and I (she is an adult) took the walking tour the other day. We enjoyed it, but found the guide a bit abrasive and didn't really like her presentation at all. She talked at the group not really with the group and we were less than enthralled with her presentation. |

| We really enjoyed our tour with Lola. She is a native and grew up in Chinatown.She provided us with a perspective that we would not have had on our own. We enjoyed the visit to the forture cookie factory, and the delicious dim sum lunch was a great way to wrap up the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour. |

| This was a great way to start our San Francisco vacation. Hank, our tour leader was fun and enthusiastic as he took us through the streets of China Town. He gave us some history and showed us sights, pointing out places to come back and spend more time at. He also gave us some insider tips on shoping and places to eat. The walk was a nice pace that anyone can do. I thought this was a good start to our vacation in San Francisco and I would recommend it to anyone. |

| Our tour guide was terrible. Very boring and not in the least bit well spoken. We didn't learn anything interesting except for our stop in a tea shop where the owner spoke intelligently and interestingly about teas. The food at the restaurant was not good either. We take a lot of tours in a lot of cities, and this one was by far the worst. We wanted to leave right away, but we figured we had already spent the money and we might as well stay for lunch, but lunch ended up being a let down as well. |

| Our wonderful tour guide gave us an amazing insight into the complex Chinatown neighborhood, where she grew up. Her cultural insights, humor and depth of knowledge were amazing. She also was wonderful at drawing our 8-year-old daughter into the discussion. Our guide was also very respectful of the fact that we don't eat meat, and was careful at the restaurant to make sure were fed and happy! Really an amazing bargain, and I'd even recommend the tour to San Francisco natives who'd like a greater understanding of this fabulous neighborhood. |

| Frank was a great tour guide and I learned so much about the history of Chinatown and the surrounding area. He is a great representative for his culture. The stop at the Tea Shop was incredible - a must for everyone! The food was delicious - we even tried chicken's feet!
Thank you so much. |

| the tour itself was very interesting, informative, and well planned. however, the choice of the restaraunt left much to be desired. the food appeared old, without much taste or flavor. the servers were curt, not very friendly, and spoke no english. i would think twice about the tour only because of the food choice. |
