Great job by Alberta
Wed, Oct 10, 07   10:00 AM Skeezh Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
She was priceless and would go through it again if she led it. Her stories of her family life made it come alive. When we needed help with a pharmacy in the area, Alberta was on the phone before the tour even started to find the closest Walgreen's. That's not just customer service - that is being a nice person. Very positive experience.

Wow!! Great Tour and Fantastic Food!

We were fortunate to have Ms. Fong - Torres as our tour guide and she was wonderful! We visited the herbal shop, temple, and tea house, it was like visiting old friends. Everyone in Chinatown was so friendly. The dim sum was great - it was more than enough - my husband got full! Thanks for a great memory!

Second Wok Wiz tour a delight
Sun, Oct 7, 07   10:00 AM dkeepfer Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
About 8 years ago I took the tour and when a group of 8 cousins planned a San Francisco visit, I signed us up because I knew it was an intimate and personalized visit that was entertaining and educational. Alberta was a wonderful guide and put her own personal stories into the tour, just as my guide did the first time. The tour was fresh and informative even for me, although I was able to provide a few correct answers to Alberta's questions with info from my first visit. The tour and the wonderful lunch were a highlight of our visit and we all gained a better understanding and respect for the preservation of this unique and historic area of the city. We also enjoyed seeing a woman celebrating her 99th birthday with her family. A sweet elderly gentleman who was eating at a nearby table came over to give the men in our party a little chopstick instruction and it made a great photo. I thought the visit to the temple was very interesting and something new from my last tour. Please retain the small group size that makes it possible to hear the guide and navigate the crowded streets. The visit to the tea shop was very informative and pleasant. I would recommend this tour to anyone who seeks to gain a deeper insight into the Chinese culture from entertaining and informative guides. It's like having a good friend show you around her neighborhood and introduce you to her friends and neighbors!

Extremely Pleasant Tour Guide

Shirley Torres was simply amazing. More than a guide, she was an excellent host to all of us. We felt comfortable and relaxed during the entire tour. Also, she demonstrated the astonishing skill of keeping annoying father-in-laws in line. Will gladly do another tour with her.

Highlight of our SF trip
Sat, Oct 6, 07   10:00 AM JohnGarrett Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This tour was highly recommended by a friend. He was right on. The tour is slow paced and informative, yet with lots of laughs. It ended with a lunch that everyone enjoyed. We were introduced to foods that we would have never considered ordering. Overall I would rate this as a must do.

Lots of food but little history
Fri, Oct 5, 07   10:00 AM indakmzerve Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The highlight of this tour was the Dim Sum lunch. The food was delicious and it was very helpful to have a Guide to explain what each dish was and the best way to eat it. The tour itself was a little light on historic details. We learned more about the Guide than Chinatown itself.

Well Worth the Price
Wed, Oct 3, 07   10:00 AM Grace813 Female 50-59 Local Unspecified
As a local, this was a tour of a part of the Bay Area I had seen only from the 'fringe.' Our guide provided us an insiders view of this very vibrant, diverse and essential part of the City by the Bay. Great insights into local life. The tour included a wonderful multi-course lunch with good advice about cooking, eating and shopping in Chinatown. We ended with a relaxing time in the Red Blossum Tea House and learned much about the art of tea. I will certainly bring others on this tour when they visit.

Good overview of SF Chinatown
Wed, Oct 3, 07   10:00 AM ConnieN Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The tour was a good overview of Chinatown. After the tour ended, my husband and I went back to a few of the locations and spent a little more time at each. The luncheon was delicious. Our tour guide was personable, and we also met with Shirley, the owner of Wok Wiz. She is exceptionally nice and wants everyone to have a good time.

leave out the begging bowl bit
Wed, Oct 3, 07   10:00 AM LeahDoyle Female 70+ International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The tour was good up to a point. However there was a lot of grumbling when our guide talked too much about himself. How he was struggling a long on social security and the miles he traveled to be our guide that day. How the fare was high but he got a reduction because of his being a senior. All this took a lot of time with us standing on a busy corner roasting in the sun. Then he loudly produced at the luncheon some twenty dollar bills and gave them to the hostess at our table proclaiming loudly that they had been given to him by some one on a tour this hostess had done and had forgotton to give her. The inference being that twenties were expected for tips. The hostess at the table was clearly embarrassed and so were we. It was unprofessional.

Nice overview
Wed, Oct 3, 07   10:00 AM lisacongdon Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We enjoyed the tour. We were not sure how or what to order if we were to eat in Chinatown on our own, so it was nice to have some coaching as to how the dim sum process worked. Next time we come back we will know where to go and what to expect. Interesting part of town, and the personal history given by the tour guide was a nice touch.

Great Tour - Chinatown with lunch
Mon, Oct 1, 07   10:00 AM jglo2000 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
Hello - my friend and I took the tour on Mon Oct 1 from 10 - 100pm with lunch at a dim sum restaurant. Your guide was terrific....extremely informative, knowledgeable and just fun. I feel we had enough walking (no too much, just right) covering (which I am sure) is just a small area of Chinatown. However the places we saw and learned about were just great. We certainly got a good overview of the area. We left the tour having a fun time and great food. I am sorry I just cannot remember the guide's name (woman) as I am writing this about a month later. Sorry for the delay. She is a tremendous asset to your company. Thank you and I will be sure to recommend Wok Wiz to anyone who asks about my trip to San Francisco. Judy Casper Santa Fe NM 10/28/07

I just wanted to let you know that I found the WokWiz Daily Tour very, very enjoyable. Our tour guide, Lola, was very pleasant and very informative. She had answers to all my questions and made the tour a great experience.

Lola did a fantastic job touring us around Chinatown. She included concise history, personal experiences, suggestions for future visits, and introduced us to various shopkeepers. The fortune cookie factory tour was "eye opening" and the tea shop was delightful. I've visited Chinatown numerous times and was very happy with the tour. My mother, who was visiting from Oregon and had lived in SF in the early 1950's, found the tour as enjoyable as I did.
