My husband has also been on a tour with Linda with his class of students a couple of years ago. We were both impressed with her ability to grab the children's attention throughout the entire tour! She really knows... More

I am glad you enjoyed Beth's tour of Chinatown. Beth not only does our walking tour of Chinatown, she creates treasure hunts in San Francisco. Take a tour with Beth in Chinatown, or in any other neighborhood in San Francisco, and you will discover more history and culture and fun things to know that makes our city a great place... More

Back when Trip Advisor was not around, our family went on the tour with Linda, and still talk about it to this day. We just booked a flight to SFO for the end of the month, and Linda's tour is at the top of the list for things Jill and I will be doing! More

We did this tour for my 9-year old daughter's birthday request. There were 4 kids under 12 in our group plus my hubby and myself. WE HAD A GREAT TIME! The birthday girl was a little skeptical before we started, but finished by saying this was the best tour she's ever been on! Tour guide and owner, Linda Lee, really... More

If you want a tour of the real San Francisco Chinatown, you can't go wrong with Linda Lee at All About Chinatown. Make sure you stop for tea at the end of the tour -"Uncle" will give you the goods on tea and is a hoot. More

I had been on some so called tours of Chinatown on a previous trip to San Francisco - one was a 10 minute walk down a main street from bus drop off to bus pick up and the other was little more than a few food stops. However, I was determined to get a proper tour of Chinatown and All... More
