My girlfriend and I were the only two on the tour which made it more personal between us and Joseph. He was great from the start, from the starting point of the tour he provided details we would have never known about chinatown. The knowledge he had about the history of china town was amazing and definitely made me appreciate the city a little more, not to mention the food stops, we're all very delicious. I recommend anyone who comes to San Francisco to check out this tour, it really helps you understand the history of Chinatown.

I was the only one signed up for this tour, I met my guide Joseph ate the meet spot. The experience felt very personal, and I quickly grew comfortable withy guide. He was extremely knowledgeable in the area' history and culture. Every stop felt like a trip back in time. We picked up pork and coconut buns at our first food stop, simply delicious. Joseph and I conversed about the landmarks and plaques with ease. Second food stop was a Dim Sum place with incredible dumplings. As we walked he recounted experiences in the area from his childhood. Our third food stop was for Boba tea, as I'm always on the look out for good boba wherever I travel. The drink was heavenly, especially when paired with my dumplings. We wrapped our tour in the financial district and continued to stop at overlooked plaques. Overall the experience was enlightening and well paced. Thank you Joseph!
