Chuck was our guide. Very interesting indiviudal on his own account, but also did a wonderful job of giving us a feel for the culture and history of Chinatown. Particularly, his experience growing up in Chinatown for the majority of his childhood leant credibilty. The tour provided good experiences for a limited time period, and was very organized. (Square/Park, temple, market, cookie factory, tea shop) |

My boyfriend and I both live in Dallas, TX. We absolutely loved the Wok Wiz tour. Our guide, Chuck, was extremely informative and full of energy. It was cold and rainy the day we had our tour, but that did not dampen Chuck's enthusiasm. We got to visit a Chinese temple, the market, fortune cookie factory, and see where they make silk lanterns. He also gave a full history of San Francisco's Chinatown, and disspelled some of the common myths about the origin of certain Chinese traditions. Most westerners would never get to experience these things, without the help of a guide. If you love history and culture, then you have to take the Wok Wiz tour!!! |

Even though the weather was not the best the day we took the tour, it was a nice break from the wharf which was very crowded and touristy.
We set off from the Hilton Hotel in Chinatown, our tour guide was Dorothy, she was very pleasant and had a vast knowledge of the area.
She is also speedy! just try and keep up, Wow! We also liked the way she got us to form a semi circle around her so that we could here what she had to say. The lunch was good and everyone seemed to enjoy all the choices that were available.
Unfortunately we missed a few stops due to time constraints, that was the only issue we had. Well Done. |

The tour was excellent and the guide was very knowledgeable. This is a good tour if you want to cover a lot of ground, not so much if you want to shop during the tour (you can of course go back to shops later after the tour). The longest we spent in a shop was a tea shop, in which a salesperson gave an excellent overview of Chinese teas. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the area. |

A great time |

Very interesting and entertaining tour. We would have never seen so much of Chinatown on our own. Loved our guide! |
|
A little slow, but glad we did it |

I think for the money I would recommend this tour. The information shared was good, but our guide tended to get off on tangents sometimes and talk about things that weren't relevent to the tour. The food was good and I'm glad we had the guide for this as they have a better sense of what to order to get a flavor for several different things. I enjoyed the history and some of the back alley strolls. At times our guide was a little slow and I felt like we could have seen more in the time allotted. I felt like they brought us into some stores because they get a cut from the owner or something. |

It was great! |
