10000/10! Highly recommend!

I gifted this to my daughters and their boyfriends for Christmas and it was the BEST decision ever. They absolutely loved the tour and their tour guide, Chad. They went back to 2 of the stops after the tour just to bring food back home with them! They said that Chad was so informative and provided so much insight into all of the culture packed into Chinatown. He also provided further recommendations of places to go and eat at. Most importantly, they said that they would do it all over again! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

Excellent Chinatown experience!

Really enjoyed the tour. Perfect combination of history, culture, local knowledge, and food. The tour of the local fresh market was really interesting. Chad clearly loves the area and the food, and conveys his enthusiasm and knowledge perfectly.

PERFECT-Short, Sweet & Fun tour of Chinatown

I went with my teen daughter and we had so much fun learning the history and trying some of the yummy food suggestions along the way. Just long enough for a casual walking tour in July and we got an inside view of Chinatown with Chad! Loved the small group and VIP treatment. Chad also texted us additional suggestions for lunch/dinner options. Thanks for a great tour-we really enjoyed it!
