    I gave this tour as a gift to family members. They were thrilled with the tour and were so impressed with the tour guide, Robert. They described how knowledgeable Robert was and were fascinated with the history. They weren’t familiar with the food and loved experiencing new flavors. They now love Dim Sum and will return to experience Chinatown again.

    Scott, with his great voice, was a knowing and enjoyable guide. He told some stories perfectly suited to our tour. Fun food snacks and special stops at places like the City Lights Bookstore (and the nearby street structure “The Language of the Birds” ) and Cafe Fugazi…

    Joseph was very knowledgeable about the rich history of Chinatown and San Francisco. This is was one of the best walking tours I’ve taken, as Joseph had so much detailed information. Also, I enjoyed all the food tastings and I’m a very picky eater.

    First off, I have a minor handicap that can often slow me down, but I could easily keep up with the group - the only thing that kept me behind was waiting for people to clear so I could take a picture of something, haha. The tour moved slowly enough that I was able to walk easily and the frequent stops gave me time to catch my breath. We ALL struggled with some of those really steep blocks, even our guide. (there were really only 2 separate steep blocks, the others were nearly flat or had an easy incline) I took my 14yo niece to SF and chose to do a few tours and make it a learning experience. This was not my first trip to SF, but my first time doing anything "touristy" - it was WORTH IT! Every penny. We learned so much about history, destruction, and reconstruction. The food stops were delicious! The stories were memorable. I asked my niece on our way home what she had learned. Everything she repeated came from THIS tour. The kid was paying attention! Our guide, Joseph, was knowledgeable and friendly and took the time to get to know each of us in the group.
