All About Chinatown Tours — Attraction in San Francisco

(To the owner): Hello! I recently went on one of your tours a week ago and am posting under a pseudonym (Nothing personal, I just don’t want to reveal my true name on the internet)

Chinatown is a beautiful region in San Francisco rich with history. It has great sights and food and isn’t gimmicky or touristy unlike several other “famous” places in this city. However, our tour guide (I won’t reveal their name but it starts with an “L”((Not Linda)) made it unbearable. They made us stand out in the cold for 20 minutes talking about how they were divorced and other details in their personal life that nobody in my group was there to hear about. Whenever one of us would ask a simple question, they would stop in the middle of the crowded sidewalk and give us a LONG backstory about something in her life before answering. We missed several key attractions due to poor planning and timing.

Lunch at the Oriental Pearl was WAY worse. Our guide would not stop talking and encroached upon our personal conversations. It was really uncomfortable for everyone and made it hard to enjoy the food with their constant gibbering

Such a shame. I would’ve enjoyed the beauty of Chinatown more if I hadn’t been bombarded with personal stories and rushed to every attraction due to being talked to...

Our team had the pleasure of going on a Chinatown tour with Linda, and it exceeded all of our expectations! Linda is a wildly fun, energetic and knowledgeable tour guide, and she went out of her way to make sure we saw the things we were most curious about. Born and raised in Chinatown, Linda knows all the ins and outs of this special place. She shares details and tells stories from a place of deep understanding, combined with just the right amount of humor. We loved seeing the herbal apothecary, fortune cookie factory, Chinese clubhouses, architecture, tea house, markets and restaurants — all bustling and so unique.

I am a middle school teacher. My students recently enjoyed a wonderfully fun and educational tour Linda gave us. All of us on the tour - kids and chaperones alike - loved her lively presentation style and the wealth of information she was able to share with us. In particular, her personal experience growing up in Chinatown made the experience authentic and powerful. She even took the time to follow up on my students' questions, looked into the history of Angel Island. I highly recommend Linda if you are looking for a dynamic, informative, and personal way of experiencing...
