	Great tour guide! Wok Wiz Daily Tour
	Sat, Jun 23, 07 10:00 AM	gnishimura	Female	40-49	Local	Family Without Children
	The guide was great - knowledgeable, great sense of humor, courteous. My only complaints are that the tour should skip the cheesy fortune cookie stop (describing what is happening is sufficient) and instead take the group inside one of the temples that they talk about. Also, I thought that it would have been nice if the tour touched on how many Chinese girls were sold into prostitution in Chinatown. In general, it would have been nice to have walked to more areas of Chinatown (the herb shop was neat).
	Wonderful educational experience Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	My husband and I recently took the Wok Wiz tour in San Francisco. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with much history of Chinatown. He brought us to places we would never have found on our own. The lunch provided at the conclusion of our tour was wonderful! We both thought this was an excellent tour and would highly recommend it to others.
	Loved it! Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	Enjoyed Bernice's stories. Wish I could have spent all day with her!
	Too unfocused, rambling info. Not enough walking. Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and have already recommended it to our friends. I would take it again on our next rrip to San Francisco, because it will probably be quite awhile before we get dow there again. Thank you so much, Jim & Dorothy Towne
	Small group of 11 is very nice. Easy walk. Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	Bernice grew up in Chinatown and told us a lot of what it was like growing up there and how things have changed over the years - these were stories you don't find in Frommer's or other tour books. After the tour was officially over, Bernice continued with a mini tour, going out of her way to take us to or point out stores where we could purchase specific items. She encouraged questions. I learned quite a bit from her about the area. I hope on my next trip to S.F. I will be there on a Saturday so I can take the tour that is offered on Saturdays through Chinatown.
	Thorughly engrossing two hours Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	Our Guide Alberta was excellent. She had total local knowledge both contemporary and historical. I've been to Chinatown several times before but this was completely new. We weren't encouraged or pushed to buy at the places we visited but we bought at every stop. Excellent bargains of things we wanted and will use. The tea demonstration was the highlight. Brilliant speaker and excellent tea. Well done WokWiz
	Wonderful insider's view of Chinatown's culture Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	There's simply no better way to get a comprehensive view of life in Chinatown - both past and present. The guide offered her personal insights about Chinese culture from a lifetime spent living in Chinatown, and was able to present it in such a delightful way. All sites visited were very interesting and would not have been noted by a self-guided tour.
	It is something everyone should do ! Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	We did the Wok Wiz tour and had a great time. Bernice, our guide, was a very interesting person. She took us into a herb store, into a pharmacy where we could see how all the fresh herbs/medicine were measured out for prescriptions. Pictures were allowed almost everywhere we went. We were able to go into the Fortune Cookie factory and watch how they make and form fortune cookies. Very interesting ! We went into a temple and the traditions/practices were described in detail. It's worth the 3 flights of stairs up to the temple !! Our guide talked about her life since she has lived in Chinatown all her life. We had a wonderful 6 or 7 course lunch and she described each course as we were eating it. After lunch, we had the option of going with her to the Red Blossom Tea Company and sample different kinds of tea. It was a very interesting and informative tour. Bernice did an excellent job. I would say it is a tour you would not want to miss. It is worth the time and the money.
	Yes to the tour , NO to the lunch part Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	The tour is well-thought out, the guide was knowledgeable and helpful. We doubt that we would have found all the little places he showed us on our own. I would recommend the tour again without reservations. We are foodies and could not pass up the opportunity to eat traditional Chinese food, so we paid extra for that. The quality of food was really really lousy, the service left a lot to be desired. I believe that you could have had a much better food experience by walking into any small restaurant in Chinatown where locals go. Please do yourself a favor and do not pay nor go for the food portion of the tour.
	Great tour Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	Our guide, Alberta, was delightful: Strong, humorous, and lively! We appreciated the fun of the tour, but also the deeper understanding of life in Chinatown that it gave us. Thank you! The Bundys Long Beach, CA

	This was a good activity to do while my son was working. The lunch was outstanding! I even met another lady who was on the tour while her husband was attending business and we went to Fisherman's Wharf together after we finished doing a little shopping in Chinatown.
