I would have to say the following: 1. Try to do on a weekday so there arent so many different tour groups running around. 2. It is worth the extra $10 for the Dim Sum lunch. 3. The guides are very nice and very understandable. My guide was a native of Chinatown yet she could not read or speak Chinese... more

Let me start by saying we had a 5yr old in tow and although he was well behaved for this walking tour, it still was a challenge. We have mixed reviews because our guide's personal insights to his life and growing up in Chinatown were terrific and engaging, but the actual tour was something of a let down. We got... more

Excellent tour. We would have never known what to do or what to see in Chinatown without our tour guide- a native of Chinatown. Well worth the price paid. I would love to do this again! more

Not just about the buildings and history of the area but a really informative tour that talks about the culture and traditions of the Chinese people who live here. Dorothy was our guide and did a great job of showing the lifestyle of the area, and had lots of her own stories of growing up in the area to add... more

The daily tour of Chinatown that Wok Wiz offers, covers more history of the area and Chinese-Americans in the area, than food. There are several tour guides who may lead your trip, and each guide adds their own personal touch to the tour - but they all cover some of the basic history of the area. Although the area of... more

We were thrilled with our tour of Chinatown with Wok Wiz. The tour guide was very informative and friendly, and even took time to take a picture with a tour member and her young daughter near a Chinese dragon (when the little girl was bored with the tea demonstration). The guide was open to questions, shared personal experiences as examples... more

I decided to book this tour for our trip to San Francisco for me, my husband, and our 1 year old child. It had rave reviews on here, and we were not let down! This tour was a great walking tour of Chinatown. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We visited many places we would have not ordinarily gone,... more

This is a wonderful Adventure! my husband and I took the walking tour that included lunch with Walk Wiz tour guide Alberta. It was delightful. What a way to see China Town. We would never have gone to some of these locations alone and just riding through or even walking through pales in comparison to hearing the stories and learning... more

My mom (58) and I (27) recently went on the Wok Wiz tour on a visit to San Francisco. I like to wander, but knew my mom wouldn't have the endurance to just follow me all over the city. Booked this tour online and it was well worth the $40 per person. Our guide led us through the main parts... more

I had long thought that SF's Chinatown was more tourist attraction and home to tacky shops than a living, vibrant community. My opinion changed after taking a Wok Wiz tour. Our 3-hour walking tour took us off the main tourist path and showed us a thriving town within the city. We got a quick dose of history, culture and shopping... more
