| Excellent tour. Frank was a great leader who offered much personal insight and history regarding Chinatown. The tea shop was outstanding and we ended up going back to buy some tea after the tour. I like the fact that we focused on a few things in depth instead of going in a hurry and superficially glossing over everything. It would have been nice to have gone to Stockton Street however to hear some stories about it. | ||||||

| Excellent guide who described what it was like as Chinatown initially developed, and the conflicts with the government as they sought to stem immigration. Wandered around shops I wouldn't have gone in. Finished with an interesting meal - not the best cuisine but again things I wouldn't have experienced, with further information about Chinese culture as we ate. Strongly recommended. | ||||||

| This tour would be good for someone who doesn't have any ideas about Asian culture, food, etc. I thought the historical perspective was very interesting and informative. The dim sum was less than average. I have had far superior dim sum in Hawaii, Hong Kong, and New York. The dim sum would be okay for anyone not familiar with dim sum. | ||||||

| We found the beginning site easily. It was explained explicitlly. Frank was a wonderful leader. He spoke almost non stop while explaining history of Chinatown as well as explaining things about the current living situations. The dim sum was excellent. Frank was a real joy. A decent price too. | ||||||

| Our tour guide was Herman - he grew up in Chinatown so he knew a lot of the history and what it was like to live there. It was cool how we went in various shops and saw what everyday life was like in Chinatown and some of the history and culture. Sometimes it felt that Herman was a little too Americanized but it definitely helped to have someone who understood both cultures. We met the owner (Shirley?) at the beginning and the end. It kind of seemed like she wanted to just sell her book but we only saw/spoke to her for a brief period since Herman was our tour guide. Overall, very informative and worth it to see what it is like in Chinatown. | ||||||

Disappointed in tour guide

| We visited our daughter in the Bay area and booked this tour based upon on-line reviews. Our tour guide, Herman, was somewhat inexperienced and nervous. Despite his best attempts, his stories were sometimes disjointed and confusing. The group was more than 30 people and he didn't have a microphone, so it was difficult to hear him. The dimsum lunch was very good, but we would have preferred to have the owner as a tourguide. My recommendation is to ask questions about your tour guide's experience before booking the tour. | ||||||

Too long of a tour

| Chinatown is not that big but out tour still lasted over 3.5 hours. Our guide, while knowledgeable, rambled on and really gave way more detail than was needed. For instance, we spent 45 minutes standing in the square where everyone plays checkers and cards. That should've been ten minutes tops. The stops along the way are interesting, the tea tasting is quite informative and worthwhile. Lunch was good, but by then we were totally ready to complete the tour and get on with our day. We would be much more willing to recommend this tour if it was 1.5-2 hours total. | ||||||

| Just walking around Chinatown yourself would be dull in comparrison to having some insight and background to the community, its' history and some of the rituals. We didn't walk that far, just a few blocks, but got lots of stories and met some of the locals. | ||||||

| If you are only going to do one planned tour....this has to be it. Our tour guide, Lola, was amazing. This tour gives you an insider's view to Chinatown. Without Lola, we would have just had a superficial glimpse of the "looks" of the community. We found out so much about the culture, the people, the history and best of all the food. Do not miss this tour...plan your trip around it! | ||||||

A tour worth taking

| I've found Chinatown a hard nut to crack in the past--too many tourist shops and kitsch. But Frank our tour guide really opened the neighborhood up to us. It was great to hear his stories of growing up in Chinatown and how it has changed in the past 40-50 years. This tour is well worth taking, and the dim sum lunch was very enjoyable. Be sure to schedule some time after the tour to return to all the shops your guide suggests--the bakery, the tea house, etc. (We brought along college-age kids who enjoyed the tour as well.) | ||||||

| The tour was fun and showed a lot more of china town than we would have seen walking through on our own. The host was friendly and really knowledgable. We went back to all the places we visited and especially liked the tea tasting. We would really recommend this tour and the food at the end was great too. | ||||||

| We liked Frank very much and his delivery. Unfortunetly, the restaurant and food was not at all good to us except the soup. The majority of the courses were deep fried. | ||||||
