Linda Lee and Uncle Gee are exceptional.

Ms. Lee was an excellent tour guide. Very patient with lots of children

shannon a., United States, 02-2012

The tour was as advertised. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had the walking lunch tour and the lunch was excellent. We got to sample Chinese food that we can't get where we live.

Linda Lee is an excellent communicator and guide. We learned so much on this tour and Linda made us feel very welcomed and included. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends and family!

Donald H., United States, 10-2010

Linda Lee was an excellent guide. Very imformative. Able to give information and history in an interesting manner and injected humor which kept our attention. I saw her the next day while on another tour and was impressed when she remembered my name and where I was from.

Robin S., United States, 10-2010

Good tour

Caroline B., United Kingdom, 09-2010

Tour was good, however, guide seemed to be in a hurry

Rainer P., United States, 09-2010

The tour included areas off the beaten path. The pace of the tour was good. I expected the guide to have more information about the sites visited and SF history/color.

Roger H., United States, 08-2010

I learned as much about everyday life in Chinese culture as I did when I visited China.

Veronica D., United States, 08-2010

Linda Lee was an excellent tour guide! We spent a very limited amount of time in Chinatown, and were very happy with our decision to take a walking tour of Chinatown.

Shawna B., United States, 08-2010

Our guide was excellent, spoke clearly and understandably - even our guest from Japan understood.

Reiko G., United States, 07-2010

This tour was very informative. We say many things in Chinatown that we would not have experienced on our own. Linda Lee was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and funny.

Nancy B., United States, 07-2010

Linda Lee offered a fantastic experience. She was so knowledgeable and hospitable.She took us to all kinds of fun, offbeat locations. We had a great time!

Julie V., United States, 06-2010

This was one of the highlights of our trip. Linda Lee was great, and there is no way you could get the same info or feel for Chinatown on your own. We had more than 30 in our group and it was a little hard to hear at times, otherwise perfect.

Timothy J., United States, 06-2010

Tour was very good. Enjoyed visiting the fortune cookie factory. Found the lunch to be above expectations.

Rosemary R., United States, 06-2010

We really enjoyed the knowledgeable tour guide and the activities provided.

Sandy M., United States, 04-2010

This was one of our favorite activities in San Francisco. We loved Lynn our tour guide and the lunch was delicious!

Ellen M., United States, 03-2010

The China Town tour was quite good. Linda Lee is very knowledgeable about her venue and very pleasant. For tourists it is a good deal. For myself, in the future, I will go with the SF Library tours.

Roseann G., United States, 03-2010

Linda Lee was an excellent tour guide!

Amanda U., United States, 02-2010

WE TOOK 2 GRANDSONS AND THEIR PARENTS AND LINDA LEE WAS GREAT--WE ALL LEARNED A LOT AND SHE KEPT EVERYONE'S ATTENTION AND WE RANGED FROM 7 TO 77...SHE IS EXCELLENT.

Ann H., United States, 10-2009

Linda Lee gave a great walking tour of the city, we enjoyed all the information she provided about the Chinatown area

Cassandra K., United States, 10-2009

Our tour guide was Linda Lee and we would highly recommend her tour! She was delightful, very knowledgeable about Chinatown and injected quite a bit of humor in her narratives.

Jan L., United States, 09-2009

Exceeded expectations. Linda Lee is wonderful!

Mariwayne S., United States, 08-2009

Tour was very informative and a lot of fun. We included the price of the lunch and found the food to be very good. Although we have been to San Francisco many times, this was the first time we really experienced Chinatown. As the name of the tour implies, it is a walking tour and there are a couple of steep streets to climb. However, for those without any mobility problems, it is well worth the walk and price.

Angela M., United States, 07-2009

We really enjoyed our tour of China Town with Linda Lee - she has a wealth of knowledge and paced the tour well. We would recommend paying the extra money to go for lunch as it was delicious.

Sara L., United Kingdom, 06-2009

The guide was great. We found the tour very helpful in understanding China Town.

Lisa B., United States, 06-2009

I had a group of 10 Girl Scouts. Our Tour of Chinatown was great. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and sociable. I would highly recommend it to anyone. We saw everything that was listed on the website. We did pay extra for the Dim Sim lunch and it was well worth it. The girls tried everything. I also had a person who is a vegan, and the restaurant accommodated her dieatary restrictions.

Judith B., United States, 06-2009

You won't go wrong if you tour w/ Linda Lee

Ted E., United States, 04-2009

Linda Lee was an excellent tour guide. We really enjoyed the tour & the delicious lunch we had at the end of the tour.

Robert/Julie N., United States, 03-2009

Linda Lee was very professional and knew more about SF chinatown than anyone I know. The experience really impressed both my husband and I who have been to chinatown many times. Hint to others do the dim sum lunch. Also this is a great tour with children.

Eileen D., United States, 12-2008

This was a terrific experience. Linda Lee shared historic, cultural and personal information while entertaining a group that ranged in age from 5 to 50. Take this tour and stay for lunch.

Doris D., , 11-2008

Our tour guide was Linda Lee-she was very informative and we learned a lot about the Asian culture. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Douglas W., , 11-2008

A very informative tour given by a very competent guide

Charles C., , 10-2008

Linda Lee was wonderful. My college age niece, nephew, and I had a wonderful time. It was informative and fun and Linda was an excellent guide. I will definitely recommend this tour, and take it again when company comes to town.

Starla S., , 09-2008

GREAT TOUR, THE NEXT TIME I'M VISITING SF I WILL DO THE TOUR AGAIN. LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT CHINATOWN FROM OUR TOUR GUIDE LINDA LEE. SHE WAS THE BEST.

CONSTANCE G., United States, 08-2008

great tour. Linda was an amazing guide with excellent knowledge of the history of the area. She knew lots of back alleyways and local customs/traditions.

Lindsay M., United States, 07-2008

Linda Lee is a hoot. Th Chinatown Walking Tour was educational and fun at the same time. With a small group (7), Ms Lee made it a point to connect and engage us all. She is a terrific ambassador for Chinatown and an outstanding tour guide...we saw and learned about things and people most tours probably miss.

Douglas H., United States, 07-2008

Linda Lee is a fabulous guide. We had a small group (7) and Linda made it soooo informative and entertaining. She made the effort to engage each person individually and make it seem personal. Informative, funny and having lived it...she was stopped by people from the crowded neighborhood streets to chitchat..gave a unique perspective.

Douglas H., United States, 07-2008

Linda Lee was an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. Her route and destinations seemed very carefully selected and offered a glimpse of Chinatown that could have been experienced in no other way. The Dim Sum lunch option was a favorite for me and my wife. We will definitely recommend this tour to others.

James Q., United States, 07-2008

It was obvious why Linda has been doing Chinatown tours for so long; she really knows her stuff. We covered a lot of ground and saw a lot of things, but the pace of the tour was perfect. Linda was always willing to answer the extra question someone would ask. Her post-tour Chinatown recommendations for me were spot on. All seven of us on the tour opted to do the optional lunch at Kan's Restaurant. Service there was prompt as course after course (ten in all, I believe) was added to the big lazy-susan on the table. Almost every course was something new to me, but each was very tasty. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat and will recommend it to any of my friends visiting San Francisco.

Michael W., United States, 06-2008

This is a fabulous tour. I have taken it twice; each with different guide and a different perspective. I would highly recommend it.

janette h., United States, 06-2008

Since we had the best tour guide (Linda Le) we have ever run into, it was an all round wonderful experience. Very informative and interesting.

Barbara G., United States, 03-2008

A must for any visitor to San Francisco. Very informative and interesting. Definitely added to our knowledge of the area.

John C., United States, 01-2008

We thoroughly enjoyed both the tour and our tour guide. Linda Lee was very warm, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Rachel F., United States, 01-2008

Take this tour as it is very educational and fun!
