Spectacular experience! - Jinny was amazing and did a wonderful job accommodating us while navigating through the city with my husband's mobility scooter. The food was delicious and she was very knowledgeable about Chinese history in San Francisco. I have used this company twice and highly recommend them.

Perfect way to experience all of Chinatown! - Ted B. was exceptional providing both history and relative foodie info across a great mix of Chinatown. We packed a great deal into 3 hours - a little walking between courses was VERY welcome!! Would definitely do this again (our 10 and 12 year old children thoroughly enjoyed the experience!).

Great Chinatown experience for a group of 5! - This was a very fun tour! Our tour guide, Jinny, was very knowledgeable about the history and growth of Chinatown as we walked through. All the food very delicious, but the pork buns stole the show at the beginning! Highly recommend having Jinny as your guide! We definitely will go on other tours with this company!

Oh ma gawd!!!! - Wish I could give this TEN stars. Ed B was an exceptional tour guide (I'm guessing all of their tour guides are carefully chosen), and the surprise was that this wasn't "just" about the food. Blown away at the real story of Chinatown...wowed by the food. And the food! He warned us to pace ourselves, and was right. None of the restaurants "skimped" on quality or quantity. HIGHLY recommend. Wish I had taken photos ;/
