Rating: 4 Good tour, esp if you've not seen a Chinatown
Wok Wiz Daily Tour
  Sat, Feb 24, 07   10:00 AM AndrewS Male Unspecified International Tourist(s) Individual
  This was a good tour, well led. The leader brought in much of her own experience growing up and living in San Francisco's Chinatown. The highlights for me were the paper-products shop, the visit to the fortune cookie factory and the visit to the temple - both places I wouldn't have entered if on my own, and certainly I wouldn't have understood or appreciated anything about the temple without the tour leader's explanations. In general, however, I felt that if you are relatively familiar with another Chinatown, there was a lot on this tour that felt a little superficial. The tour took in a number of food shops, but I thought maybe a bit more time could have spent explaining some of the more unfamiliar foodstuffs. By contrast, the tour ended in a modern shop selling teas, and the lecture on teas by the shop owner seemed to go on for ages - certainly out of proportion to the rest of the tour. I thought this was a shame as it unbalanced the tour, and we had signed up for a walking tour of Chinatown, not a lecture on tea. My only other comment would be that it might be nice to have a map of Chinatown - we criss-crossed the area and streets to such an extent that it was actually quite disorientating and by the end of the trip, I'd lost track of which way north was! Even if you go to Chinatowns regularly and eat in Chinese restaurants regularly, you will get information on this tour that you didn't know and will see - and more importantly have explained - some interesting things.

  We so enjoyed the personal background provided by our guide, since she grew up in the neighborhood and has unique, personal experience with the places we toured. I highly recommend this tour to all ages.

  I have lived in SF for 20 years,currently in the inner-sunset. My sister was visiting from Chicago,it was her idea to do this. We had a great time. Our tour date was 2/17 12:15, I wish I could remember the guide's name,she was wonderful. I think I know a lot about my adopted city's history,I learned a few new things that day. I would recomend this to people. Some day i would like to do the "I can't believe I ate my way through Chinatown tour" !!!!

  We started our tour with a lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it.The meal was a nice way to break the ice and get acquainted. There were 7 in our group which seemed close to ideal, especially as we wound our way through the crowded streets in mid-afternoon. We enjoyed the tea tasting and hearing about the history of this part of San Francisco culture. The highlights of the tour were those that pertained to the history and culture of Chinatown, and I wish that we had spent more time exploring those aspects rather than visiting the shops/ Thanks for a nice tour.

  Our tour guide, Lola, took us on a leisurely stroll through the culture of Chinatown. The first few minutes were stiff but once we all warmed up to each other it was like a bunch of friends walking through Hong Kong while Lola showed us interesting buildings, businesses and provided her personal insight and experiences (having grown up in Chinatown!). Highly recommend, especially for newbies to San Francisco or those with no knowledge of Chinese culture.

  We really enjoyed our Wok Wiz tour of Chinatown. It was nice to learn a little of the history of the area as well as visit unique sites within Chinatown. If we had just walked through Chinatown, we wouldn't have known about the living room area where men gather, the low income housing and many of the Chinese traditions we learned about. Very informative.

  Shirley ( the Wok Wiz owner ) went above & beyond - making sure my friend & I were able to take the tour ( initially there was a scheduling complication ).. We were most impressed with her personal attention. Our tour guide, Alberta, was fun, informative and very personable. The three hours flew by... This tour is such an interesting way to learn about Chinatown's history and culture - you really come away with a better understanding & appreciation of this amazing bustling,little city within San Francisco. And the wonderful lunch is the perfect ending !

  Six of us joined the tour on January 13, 2007. Two of us live in the Bay Area, one grew up in Santa Rosa, and the other three from out-of-state. Four of us are in our thirties and two in their late fifties. We've been to Chinatown quite a few times but this was our best trip yet. Our guide was very informative. We even lucked out and saw a small parade with a traditional Chinese dragon. If you think you've seen it all in Chinatown - guess again and take this tour! It was also great for our out-of-state guests. We decided to do the walking portion of the tour only and then went to Yank Sing's for lunch instead of the group lunch.

  The guide, the information received, the locations taken during the walking tour (including the fabulous lunch sampling) were top notch. We would now consider going on another WokWiz walking tour - we are looking at one of the cooking oriented tours.

  We were very excited to go on the tour, and were not disappointed. The lunch that ended the tour was delicious! I would take the tour again, as I am told it is different every time.

  Our tour leader, Alberta, was not only knowledgable but had a great sense of humor and was an absolute delight. I'm telling all my out-of-town friends that the WokWiz tour is a must.
