informative, interesting tour

I thought our guide brought a lot to the tour as a former Chinatown resident. She managed to bring us to many places in a short period of time - a temple, a tea shop, the market, etc. I should also add she was very helpful to a man in a motorized wheelchair on our tour. Great job all around!

I had taken the Wok Wiz tour before with my daughter. This time was with husband. It was different both times, enjoyable and informative. Certainly not too strenuous, and lunch was good.

We had gone on several Chinatown tours before (both in San Francisco and elsewhere) but this was really an outstanding experience. We heartily recommend this for locals and out-of-towners as a really fun experience.

So Much We Never Knew
Fri, Oct 10, 08   10:00 AM lminotto Female 40-49 Combination Group of Friends
We've been to San Francisco many times, but never really spent much time in Chinatown. We learned so much about early California, San Francisco, and Chinatown. We loved exploring all the stores and alleys, especially the Red Blossom Tea Shop. Lunch was wonderful and a great way to end an amazing experience.

A wonderful tour
Fri, Oct 10, 08   10:00 AM aboutsoul Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We really enjoyed our tour of Chinatown. The first visit was to a Chinese tea-shop. As we're English we are great tea drinkers but have never tried green tea before and this visit was an eye-opener. We learnt a great deal about tea in a short space of time from a very knowledgeable host and shop owner, tried and sampled green tea and understood more about the Chinese tea ceremony. The lunch at the end of the tour was great value for money and we tried a number of foods that we had not experienced before. Alberta the host was great fun to listen and learn from and I highly recommend this tour. It exceeded our expectations.

Unexplored Areas
Fri, Oct 10, 08   10:00 AM hmcnall Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This tour gave us the confidence to walk into any type of shop in Chinatown. We never would have dreamed about walking into an herbalist shop, or the food shops before. The historical stories of the area, and personal stories were enlightening. However, if you have eaten a lot of Chinese food before, skip the lunch. In the tours efforts to please everyone, the food is pretty standard Chinese.

Well worth it
Fri, Oct 10, 08   10:00 AM KathySizer Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
As a Californian, I have been to SF's Chinatown many times--just walked through--looked in shops. This is a completely different experience from that! This is behind the scenes look at Chinese American culture--foods in the markets, what they are and how to cook them--Chinese tea, how to make it right and what to look for--Chinese herbalist, what and why they are used. You will never walk through Chinatown the same again. Do this. It seemed a bit pricey when I signed up; but it is worth every cent.

Fun, loved the guide, Chuck.
Wed, Oct 8, 08   10:00 AM rickania Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My husband and I had a great time- we enjoyed the other participants and especially enjoyed the guide, Chuck. Chuck had many anecdotes about having grown up in Chinatown and was thoroughly knowledgable, friendly and a darling man. We were totally surprised at the size of the lunch and the quality was excellent too. I highly recommend this tour.

Disappointed; perhaps not for locals
Mon, Oct 6, 08   10:00 AM Stuartk Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Chinatown is more facinating then this tour would lead you to believe. I would have appreciated more history of Chinatown and less personal history. Lunch was mediocre. The hightlights were the Red Blossom Tea Co. (Alice was delightful and informative. I would deffintly go back there) and the lovely people on our tour from Australia and Switzerland.

I don't know if I would have gotten beyond the trinket shops and enjoyed Chinatown as much as I did without the tour.

Frank was the best part of the tour.
Sat, Oct 4, 08   10:00 AM cathyj Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Frank, our tour guide, has a wonderful grasp of the history, culture and personality of China Town. He was entertaining, yet very interesting and showed a deep understanding of the area and the people who live there. Frank is a keeper. We will recommend him and the tour to other people. I would like to thank Courtney from Zerve for her assistance early Saturday morning as I had misplaced the tickets and could not access the computer remotely to print another copy. She was very friendly and helpful and we were able to still go on the tour. I was so afraid we would not be able to go on the tour, but she was able to verify me and my purchase fairly quickly and then let us know the pace where we were to meet. Thank you Zerve for your assistance. Catherine Jones

The Best Way To See Chinatown!!
Thu, Oct 2, 08   10:00 AM timkane Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My husband and I took the tour with Alberta as our guide. She was so fun and the tour was great! We recommend it to everyone and would do it again when we return to San Francisco. The stop at the Red Blossom Tea Shop was a favorite and the brother sister duo who run things are fantastic!

Will recommend to all my friends!

Our Wok Wiz tour was absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Emily, was friendly, helpful and full of great stories and advice. We had a group of just 6, which made it very cozy and allowed us to cover alot of ground. Loved that we got to stop at a tea shop and sample some wonderful teas (had to go back and buy some to take home once the tour was over!). The Dim Sum was delicious too, and it was great to have that time to chat with each other and with our guide. A lovely day was had by all!
