The Wok Wiz tour is outstanding. I live in San Francisco but now have a new appreciation for my city.....the tour revealed Chinatown in fascinating and fun ways that activated so many senses -- the sights of people carrying on age-old traditions, the smells of the street markets, fish stores, and dim sum lunch, and the sounds of people communicating in a variety of languages and dialects. Our guide was freindly, knowledgable and enthusiastic. Overall, a wonderful experience. |

Our delightful guide made it a great tour! |

We loved the exposure to the history and culture of China Town! Dorothy, our tour guide, was exceptional! Finishing with a Dim Sum lunch was perfect. We really felt that we had an indepth experience that we could not have achieved on our own with a travel guide book. Our kids (ages 11 and 13) loved it as much as we did. |

This tour was GREAT!!! |

I am so glad I went on this tour. It was a last minute thing, but I would definitely do it again. Our guide, Dorothy was so knowledgeable and friendly. She made history come alive as we were walking through the alleys of Chinatown. This is a must to understand not just Chinatown, but San Francisco as a whole. |

Dorothy was our guide and was able to personalize the tour by describing personal experiences that she had growing up in Chinatown. We especially liked the visit to the herbal store and how that plays an intricate part in preventative medicine. The discussion on the telephone exchange and how calls were connected also was fascinating. Our 2 daughters went with us. They were on spring break from college and had always avoided eating Chinese food. They actually enjoyed the dim sum lunch that concluded our tour. We would highly recommend this tour and will look forward to taking it again, the next time we go to San Francisco. |

I so enjoyed my tour of Chinatown with Shirley. She is delightful and so knowledgeable. It was one of the highlights of my trip. I ate at places I would never have known about without Shirley. I had a wonderful time with her and would go again in a minute. Well worth it!!! |

The Wok Wiz tour far exceeded our expectations! Our tour guide (Dorothy Quack) was exceptional, charming, and so knowledgeable. She was poetry in motion. And the dim sum Wok Wiz arranged was one of the best we have ever had. Thanks!! |

Just a few steps into the park in San Francisco's Chinatown and you
feel as though you have been transported to China. It is an excellent
introduction to the culture for those unfamilliar with it.

Dorothy provided a personal tour of Chinatown. Even though she has done this many times, she made us feel as if we were special friends she was sharing this information with. She has a real storyteller's flair.
We learned about history, culture, & etiquette of the place. We especially enjoyed the herbal shop and the history of Chinatown. |
