| The tour was something anyone could do on their own. Get a walking map of Chinatown and follow the well marked guide points.
The food at the restaurant was mediocre at best, and after paying $$$ for the tour and food, we were made to feel as if we should leave a gratuity at the restaurant. This should have been included in the tour fee and covered by our initial registration fee with Wiz Wok to the restaurant.
This did not include the gratuity we left for our guide, so we were out of pocket an additional $20 after the tour fee. |

| i loved this tour, our guide, herman young, did a great job of really personalizing our tour with his life experiences. we loved getting to eat dim sum, going to the temple and checking out the fresh markets. he was a great guide and the 3 hours went by SOOOO quickly. i definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience chinatown from an insider's perspective. |

| Perhaps because of potential rains, we had a very small group, which made the tour feel not like a crowd, but rather, a walk around Chinatown with a couple of friends. We never had to negotiate our way to the front of the group to hear what our guide was saying, nor did we have to wait for the end of the group to catch up as it was such an intimate group. This also gave us the ability to squeeze into some of the smaller shops and see exactly what was going on. And we never got a raindrop! |

| Our wonderful tour guide gave us an amazing insight into the complex Chinatown neighborhood, where she grew up. Her cultural insights, humor and depth of knowledge were amazing. She also was wonderful at drawing our 8-year-old daughter into the discussion. Our guide was also very respectful of the fact that we don't eat meat, and was careful at the restaurant to make sure were fed and happy! Really an amazing bargain, and I'd even recommend the tour to San Francisco natives who'd like a greater understanding of this fabulous neighborhood. |

| My wife suggested touring Chinatown and I was only lukewarm on the idea. However, Frank made it a delightful way to spend three hours. His enthusiasm was incredible - almost felt like it was his first group to have been shown the sights.The fact he lived much of his life in Chinatown added the kind of insight one does not get from books or other literature.
We didn't care too much for the lunch selections, but it was still interesting to have visited a dim sum restaurant.
We've taken many tours over the years and this one rates amongst our best! |
