| My husband and I recently took the Wok Wiz Chinatown tour while visiting San Francisco. Do not miss this intimate, educational and fun opportunity to experience Chinatown. Our tour guide Dorothy was the best, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable about her home city. I would highly recommend this tour, it is the only way to get an inside look at the chinese people, their culture and history. Most of all, do not miss the finale... the luncheon, it was a perfect way to end a wonderful tour. The food and service will be like nothing you will get anywhere else in Chinatown. Thanks Dorothy! | ||||||

| I really enjoyed this tour as it was given by someone who had grown up in Chinatown and really knew it well. He took us to all the expected places but also told us a lot of interesting details that only a local would know. He was very friendly and we felt able to ask him questions as we went around. I found the visit to the tea shop particularly interesting and returned later for a longer look around. I was able to do this as we were given a map of the places we had visited on the tour and most of us then used this to confidently wander round Chinatown by ourselves. This was particularly important to me because I had had to leave my husband sick in bed and attended the tour on my own. Thank you very much Wok Wiz for one of the high points of my vacation. | ||||||

| I very much enjoyed this tour, in particular all the little personal stories of the tour guide. I had expected a bit more of a "foodie" perspective on the tour with focus on explaining the ingredients and cuisine of Chinatown. But it was nevertheless a very good experience. | ||||||

| If you have the opportunity to participate in the "I Can't Believe" tour, don't pass it up. Shirley leads this tour personally. You will learn things you didn't know about Chinese food, but also about San Francisco, about Chinatown, and about the Chinese experience in the U. S. | ||||||

| Having eaten in many dim sum establishments, I was suprised at the lack of quality as well as the indifferent serviice. I believe the guide was embarassed by the meal and the treatment. A tour sponsored by a chef should do better. | ||||||

A Wonderful Way to see Chinatown

| Our tour guide, Dorothy, was wonderful.A native of Chinatown, she showed us the building she was born in. She took us into several businesses that were run by the 3rd generation of a family where she knew all 3 generations. We got a fascinating history lesson of the neighborhood and learned all kinds of things we never would have learned on our own, like the pagoda-style building that is know a bank that used to be the telephone exchange and the unique way calls were received up until 1950. We had a wonderful tea tasting and lesson in tea making. We got to see the alleys and learn their histories. We visited several interesting stores that had good buys and not just tourist-item places. Our lunch was much better than I had expected it would be and Dorothy did a great job of explaining everything and in providing chopstick instruction. This was one of the highlights of our trip to San Francisco. | ||||||

| The tour was fun and exceeded expectation. Our tour director, Dorothy, was, at age 75 with eighteen years experience, fun and knowledgeable. Zerve requiring me as a traveling tourist to sign up on your site and especially print out an e-ticket will keep me from using you in the future. You could advise the vendor of my name etc rather than me take a voucher. Your rep got what I felt was way more information than was needed to book a simple tour, at least have the tour director use it to identify me to keep me from having to sign up on a site (Zerve), that I have no interest in and then have to find a printer to boot while traveling. | ||||||

| We were luck y enough to have our tour of Chinatown with Shirley Fong-Torres. In addition to an excellant historical tour of Chinatown, we received insight into living working and growing up in the Chinese community of San Francisco. Loved Shirley's presentation and her new guide in training who came with us. | ||||||

| Our guide was very informative and friendly. Sometimes he made us stand in the hot sun a very long time while he was talking, even though shade was close by. (I got a sunburn on my face.) Some of his little talks could have been split into two different stops to keep us from zoning out when it went on long. But all in all, he was a good guide. He gave a lot of historical background. I was worried about the hilly streets, but our guide chose a path that was no problem to walk, also he stopped us frequently enough to rest our flatlander legs! I especially liked seeing the fortune cookies being made and the visit to the tea shop. the lady at the tea shop was fantastic! I would have liked to go inside more of the unique shops to see and hear about them also. I also would have liked a handout on where we went (map) and points of interest to use when the tour was over. The food at the restaurant was also wonderful tasting, and lots of it was new to me, so I enjoyed learning about it also. Our guide explained all the dishes to us as they were served. Unfortunately, for some reason, I was sick with an intestinal upset all day long the following day, which made me wonder if something about the restaurant food was off. For this reason, I probably would not recommend the lunch included tour to anyone. It could have been for some other reason, but it was the only time in 14 days in SF that I had this problem, and it is not a problem that I have very often whether traveling or at home. So I suspect the food at the Chinese restaurant.. | ||||||
