I thought that the tour overall was a awesome experince. My friend and I had a wonderful time and would reccomned this to anyone going into the city for the day or a couple of days. Alberta our leader was filled with great facts and not just about the city but also about her life and what it was like when she lived in chinatown. It was great. I give it five stars! |

Our tour guide "Alberta" was born and raised in China Town which provided great insight into what it was like to grow up there and made the experience more compelling. |

overall, it was an intersting tour. liked the detours into the small streets. if i had to make a suggestion, i might add that perhaps a little more time could be spent covering the history of chinatown. but then again, i'm sure there are others who want to know more about the good restaurants and not so much about the history so it all balances out. |

A must in San Francisco! |

My wife and I thouroughly enjoyed this tour. It combined historical information with current conditions and religion. The tour guide was very knowledeable and was able to incorporate personal history with the information of the tour. Perhaps you could work a scheduled visit to a herb shop into the tour. We were told that there were too many of us in the group to go into a herb shop without disrupting their business. We opted for the dim sum meal at the end of the tour and it was very good. Perhaps tour guide should alternate time between the two tables to give us background on the food served. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanted to tour Chinatown. |

My daughter and grandsons and I had a great time with Chuck, who was charming and informative, and the dim sum lunch was great. I'm recommending the tour to my friends.

What a great experience! I've been to China Town three times on previous visits to SF and had no idea about the depth and history of the area that I learned about on the tour. The guide was knowledgable, friendly, and outgoing. I strongly recommend this tour for first time and repeat visitors alike. |

Alberta was a fantastic guide. She made sure we all stayed together, could hear her and got all our questions or shopping needs met. We learned a lot about the area (since she grew up here) and she was always trying to share the interesting not just the touristy aspects of the area. Well worth the money. Lunch was delicious, the tea was an education and we loved the samples at the fortune cookie factory. We would definitely recommend this to everyone. We had three children on the tour (from another family) and they got to go to the kite store while the adults enjoyed the talk on tea. Great tour!! |

A good overview of Chinatown! |

Our guide, Alberta, was terrific - a second generation Chinese resident of San Francisco. Besides giving us an excellent tour of Chinatown she provided us with information on Chinese customs. Many of her examples of these customs were drawn from her own life. I had walked through Chinatown on a previous visit to San Francisco but didn't gain much from that experience as I only looked - didn't learn about Chinatown as I did with the Wok Wiz tour. Lunch was delicious and gave us a chance to try foods from dim sum to a Chinese "Krispy Kreme donut" for dessert.
I was very impressed with the tea shop we visited and returned after the tour to purchase some tea.
It was a great tour and was made more special by the enthusiasm and knowledge of our guide, Alberta. While we visited the tea shop, Alberta took the 3 children on the tour to a nearby kite shop which she knew would be more interesting for them. I'd definitely recommend this tour to any of my friends who go to San Francisco. |
