| This was a very interesting, "hands-on" tour of Chinatown. The meal at the end of the tour was somewhat disappointing, but still worthwhile. |

| I've always been fascinated with San Francisco's dynamic and colorful Chinatown. Having been on tours of other cities, I decided to "play tourist" in my own backyard, to educate myself, and family, about a community that I've always recognized as wonderfully unique.
After the tour, with our terrific guide Lola, I feel I understand the community and it's relationship to our shared history. And I appreciate so many special aspects of the community: how supportive, welcoming and friendly it is...to visitors like me and my family group...and to new immigrants.
Thank you for the attention to my husband's dietary restrictions. The lunch was delicious...we all want to go back and try other dishes!!
I loved every aspect of the tour, and can't wait to go back to Chinatown to explore on my own. |

| Our last day in the city we went on the Wok Wiz tour. Our guide was Dorothy Quock. We had such a great time and learned so much. All the guides must have grown up in China Town so we received personal insights into the history of the area. Very informative, fun and very reasonably priced. And we finished off with an excellent Dim Sum meal. Would go again tomorrow. |

| Our tour guide, Chuck, was interesting, informative and entertaining. He thoroughly knows Chinatown and conducted an excellent tour. It was an informed and educated look into Chinese culture, as well as the history of the San Francisco area. The tea shop was fascinating in its variety of teas, and the Chinese banquet was delicious. A visit to a Buddhist temple and several food stores provided insights into Chinese culture. This tour is definitely worth the cost. Anyone visiting the San Francisco area should go on this tour. |

Visits to the tea shop and the shrine were great.

| I especially liked the visit to the tea shop - the discussion and demonstrations. The visit to the shrine was interesting. |

| Shirley Fong-Torres has designed a tour that is nothing less than a Chinatown delight. Her personal touch, anecdotes and interaction with tour takers and the people of her Chinatown make Wok Wiz a wonderful jumble of old, new, history, laughter and yes, even some walking! If you are looking for a challenging exercise this is not the tour for you. If you are looking for a wonderful experience that will make your heart sing, Wok Wiz is your tour! |

| This tour entertained not only the adults in our group, but the teenagers as well. Don't miss the Dim Sum lunch which afforded us all the opportunity to sample dishes that we otherwise woud not have tried, Well worth the cost. |
