Thank you for the great tour of China Town. Our tour guide provided us insight to the daily lives of the Chinese people living in China town that I would have never known trying to do a tour on my own. I loved the fact that the tour guide's parents actually had owned a store in china town so she knew the real in's out's and fact's of the chinese people. The food was interesting, tasteful, but especially the company was entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour to any first timers or to anyone that would like more information on china town. A ++++++. |

You cannot beat a tour of such a historic area as Chinatown when your tourguide is an original inhabitant! No need for a memorized script or repeating what others have said before you. Ms Fong knew every facet and aspect of Chinatown. She chose the best places along her route and was able to describe in detail the shops and markets as we went along. The tour-ending lunch at the Four Seas restaurant was excellent.
Most visitors simply walk through Chinatown not understanding a thing of what they are seeing. Ms Fong brings the history to life. Without this tour, Chinatown is just a spot on the SF landscape.
I would hope that, for the sake of future visitors, Ms Fong is around for many years to come. |

Hank was our tour guide and all of us(4) from our group enjoyed the tour. He was very informative and we felt like we got more than our money's worth.
We would recommend this tour and I may even take out of town guest on it. |

We enjoyed our walking tour. Bernice was a delight. She pointed out many things about the buildings and the culture that we would have missed if we were just walking through alone. I would recommend this tour but thought the lunch was just ok so if you don't have the time skip it. |

What a great way to spend a morning! |

We highly enjoyed the tour, the guide, etc. However, the food was not very good. My husband loves Chinese, has eaten dim sum before, and was not impressed by the menu, and food at lunch. Though I have never eaten dim sum so had no comparison, I was not impressed either. Bottom line, if we come back we will not eat on the tour- |

We really enjoyed the walking tour of Chinatown. We visited some places we would never go alone, would have never ventured this deep in the culture. It was fantastic to see how unique this area is and to get a vivid glimse of the daily activity. Alberta was a fantastic guide and her real life stories were essential in getting the whole Chinatown vibe. The Tea Tasing was great. You definitely learn more by taking this tour than you can ever imagine just driving through. A must experience!
PS. Alberta showed us where we could get a delicious custard tart, and after the tour- we ran into the bakery....it was devine! Thanks Alberta! |

The WokWiz tour is great if your time in Chinatown is limited. I enjoyed hearing the tour guide's experiences growing up and living her adult life in and around Chinatown. The highlights of the tour were her stories, the stop at the Red Blossom Tea Company, and the fun of mingling with other tourists. I have had better dim sum in New York's Chinatown (this was rather greasy), but the food at lunch was plentiful and the conversation most enjoyable. If you are not short on time, you would do just as well exploring the area on your own, however I do recommend the tour if you are on a time crunch. |
