We had Frank as a guide who is 2nd generation chinese and who grew up in Chinatown. The tour was really informative with Frank providing lots of anecdotes, he gave lots of history of Chinatown and what made it what it is today. The walking wasn't strenuous and included a visit to a tea shop with tastings and a market. It ended in having dim sum for lunch which was wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone

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 Chinatown that was covered is on steep hills, it wasn't a bad walk - the tour zig zags along, so that you don't have to tackle more than one block of steep hill at a time, and those hills often have a stop along the way. I think the best part of the tour was visiting the small alley ways between the big streets. These alleys have the smaller shops that area residents use every day, and it gives you a better idea of the life in the neighborhood. Without this tour, I would have never seen these smaller side streets. Having lunch at the end of the tour is optional, but I felt it was one of the more valuable points of the tour because it gave us time to viist with the other people taking the tour - and out tour guide - in an informal and casual setting. I was somewhat sad at the end of lunch because I enjoyed the company at our table so much. If you are wanting to try more of the food in china town - take a pen and something to write down names and addresses of restaurants you pass by. Many of them have their menus listed out on the windows - some with pictures. So scribble down an address and a name of where you want to come back to - so you can come back on another day at your leisure and find those places again.
