	Great experience for the children Wok Wiz Daily Tour
	Fri, Jun 23, 06 10:00 AM	theresaj	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
	I have 4 children ages 15,13, 11 and 7. I wanted them to really understand Chinatown and not just see it as another tourist attraction. Bernice helped to explain the issues in Chinatown, past, present and future. I think it was a great learning experience for the kids and I learned too. I do think the restaurant could do more to cater to the kids with offers of rice and perhaps a soup or something that wouldn't be so unusual for kids who haven't experienced Chinese cuisine before. Overall, I recommend this for anyone who wants to learn more about Chinatown and is willing to walk alot and be open minded to new experiences. It helps if you ask questions too! Make sure to ask for really explicit directions to their office/meeting place. I found it a little hard to find as I was unfamiliar with the area.
	Good tour! Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	Chuck was delightful and informative. Liked the tea visit and the fortune cookie visit. Could have done with a lot less info on the Chinese vegetables. Restaurant was yummy, would have liked more Dim Sum (shoe -pow, and shoe mao, sp?? and less Chinese (beef broccoli?) I also think a soft drink should have been included in the price.
	It was a wonderful tour! Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	The tour was wonderful and it was very exciting while at the same time it was interesting. The tour consisted of taking a tour of Chinatown with stops all through out the town. From stopping at a Tea Shop and sampling tea to stopping in Fortune Cookie Shop and getting a fresh sample it was all enjoyable. Then the tour was followed by a six course meal at a Chinese Resteraunt which was substanioul. But overall it was a fabulous tour!
	Lots of fun! Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	We had a really good time on this tour. Be forewarned that it involves a fair amount of walking and that you're standing almost the whole time--this gets tiring even for 2 people in good shape. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of food that came with the dim sum. My only complaint is that the tour guide didn't ever pause to ask if we had questions. I had a lot of questions, and almost felt as though I was interrupting her when I asked them.
	Fair; not really worth the price Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	The tour guide was somewhat informative, but the talk wasn't all that interesting. the food was good. The guide asked if anyone had dietary restrictions; no one did, but the menu was pre-selected so I am not sure what they do if anyone does have dietary restrictions. I think we could have done just as well walking through Chinatown ourselves. This tour may have been better if our tour guide was more professional and dynamic. We would not recommend this tour. Our children (age 11, 17)did not like it.
	Fun & Exciting Cultural Experience! Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	Hank was an amazing tour guide and new Chinatown very well. He shared many interesting stories and we learned alot! This was my second time on this tour (first time was 10 years ago) and they are still delivering a unique experience. We learned a little bit of the chinese language, sampled herbal teas from china, observed fortune cookies being made, toured the temple, and experienced sights and smells of the neighborhood just like the locals. The dim sum lunch was very good as well. The restaurant was clean and provided excellent service. I'm generally a picky eater but our guide explained all of the food to us and gave tips on the cultural etiquette. This is an experience not to be missed!
	Interesting tour - poor food Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	Chuck Gee was a very informative and interesting tour guide, although the tour was very limited in range and scope. I was very disappointed in the food which was advertised as a DIm Sum lunch. Of all of the dishes served only 2 could be considered Dim Sum the rest of the food was conventional Chinese. It was cold when served and only average quality. I would definitely not recommend this tour.
	Fantastic tour and lunch!! Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	My daughter (11 years old) and I enjoyed the tour and lunch. We learned so much about Chinatown. We loved walking through the back alleys and going into the unusual places such as the Budist Temple, Herbal Medicine Shop and the Jade store. The tour guide, Dorothy, was fantastic with all of her little antidotes about living in Chinatown. The tour ended in a wonderful Dim Sum restaurant with more food than could be eaten!! I highly recommend this tour to families with children over 10 due to the walking and the amount of information shared by the guide.
	fun and delicious Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	Hank took us around. He was a wonderful guide. My teenage girls immediately called their friends to describe the live chickens, the squid hanging in the window, etc. Though they are a difficult audience, there was enough of interest to keep their attention. They ate more of the food than I thought they would. My husband and I enjoyed it a lot. We wouldn't have ever known what Hank told us about the food preparation, the gambling at the park, the way the butcher shop functioned, the things we saw at the Buddhist temple. I loved the Red Blossom Tea House as well, and came away with teas, cups, infusers. We ate very well and had a lovely time.
	We were disappointed that Shirley did not lead the Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	We were disappointed that Shirley did not lead the tour in person. She has a group of guides that she uses when she is not available. Our guide gave us history of the Chinese American experience and that was interesting, but what we wanted from the tour was to visit food shops, kitchens and dining facilities in Chinatown. We did not do that so we did not receive what we expected
	not all leaders are worth the trip Wok Wiz Daily Tour
	Sat, Jun 10, 06 10:00 AM	CarolHayden	Female	50-59	Local	Other
	My group leader on 6/10/06 was not very engaging. He was some what knowledgable, but ran on, and on, and on, leaving one tired of listening. Not all of his information was of interest. Also there was very little walking, mostly standing. Seeing more of the area would of been nice. The resturant was adequate but not special, some dishes a bit flat. Wish it was all a bit better, since I was looking forward to it, and invited a friend. A local resident

	A great mix of history, culture, religion and food. Chuck Gee has a wonderful personality and an ability to communicate the essence of Chinatown.

	This tour is a must for anyone visiting San Francisco. It provides an interesting mini-history of the city and the Chinese community, plus close-up looks at Chinatown's parks, buildings - including a temple - and food stores. The lunch at the end is a treat. Our guide - Chuck - was superb. He is a storehouse of all types of information, and his presentation of that information was filled with humor and charm. I enjoyed the tour so much, in fact, that I plan to take it again on my next visit to San Francisco, and to take some friends along.
	Very Informative...and tastes good too! Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	The tour took us through many important areas in the town and the guide never ran out of things to teach us about every one of them. Many places that you would not think to even look at turned out to be great social centers that really give you the effect of being in a town where people live, not just work. And just as importantly a great deal was learned about the overall installation and effect of the town and people through the history of San Fransisco. The tour was offered with the option for lunch afterwards. GO! Overall a great way to spend a few hours and you'll know where to go when you return. With twenty-four square blocks it's good to know what's what.
	Loved it! Wok Wiz Daily Tour

	I thought the tour was informative and educational. I liked Alberta's insight into Chinatown and she had many personal stories to share with us. I felt she was available and approachable for questions. I have already recommended this tour to family that is visiting this summer.
