| Loved Lola, she took time to show us some of the local Chinatown Dim Sum places to go, special place to buy fresh pork buns..
as well as showed us unusual produce, went to a tea demo..very good at the Red Blossom...told us interesting things about her days growing up in Chinatown.
The tour was topped off with a fun lunch hosted by Shirley Torres herself..
Felt like we were on vacation even though we live locally. |

| I've been on this tour before and loved it this time even more. Our guide,Chuck, gave us many insights into the life of the early Chinese in SF and the growth of Chinatown. We visited shops that my friends from out of town were so pleased to see..... fortune cookies, produce, chicken and meats and tea. The tea shop was especially informative ..... a new one for me. The dim sum lunch was excellent and well worth the addtional price. I would definitely take out of town guests any time on this tour. |

| The tour leader (Quock) was very knowledgeable about Chinatown and provided a comprehensive view of sights, some of which we chose to go back to see in greater detail. |

| I was disappointed with the lunch because I was hoping that the Shirley would also guide us through a dim sum menu and explain the items, allowing us to make informed selections. Instead, the food kept coming with minimal explanation of the food and how it was made.
Frank did a good job of giving us the interesting history of Chinatown and his own experiences living there. He was enthusiastic and answered many questions. |

| The tour was great. From the first greeting to our end meal, this tour was a delight. Dorothy was our guide. She was full of interesting information. She took us on a journey in China Town. I had been there many times, but not like this. the tea was great and the dim sum was delicious. I highly recommend. |

| First time on a walking tour and throughly enjoyed the trip. Guide was well informed about Chinatown's history and current day practices. Highlights of the trip were visiting a tea shop where we learned about the many different available teas; walking the alleyways of Chinatown,visiting a produce market and lunch at the end of the tour. Would recommend this tour for families wanting to understand Chinatown and its rich history. |
