My wife and I have been to several walking tours around the world and this one is up to par with the best! Linda's energy is contagious and her love for her past as a Chinese descendant and as a China Town past resident is most interesting! Her comments were very insightful and be sure to ask a lot of... more

After reviewing multiple Chinatown tour options, we selected All about Chinatown Tours. We did not regret it for one second! Linda Lee was everything you would want a guide to be. She was knowledgeable and informative, yet so entertaining, interesting and fun. My husband agreed to do the tour, because I had a keen interest in it. He ended up... more

LInda was natural, informative and naturally interested in the peopel in the party. She grew up in Chinatown and gave a unique insight into Chinatown. NO rose coloured glases, but also made accessible and interesting. You learn so much that you would never learn otherwise. We went into shops that I would never have entered myself. Highly recommended. more

We really enjoyed the all about chinatown walking tour - it was much better than anything our self guided tour would have resulted in, and we got to learn a lot and see a lot in a short time! If we had gone by ourselves, we would have only seen store fronts and not understood what was being sold, and... more

We took this fascinating and entertaining tour yesterday. We could have stayed all day, and would have loved to have listened to more of Linda's stories about growing up in Chinatown (I'm sure she has many). We would never have ventured inside the chinese food market or Bhuddist temple if we had been exploring on our own. We are so... more

Linda did a great job giving us a behind-the-scenes look at Chinatown. We got so much more out of our experience there than we would have if we had gone by ourselves. We brought our 9 and 11 year-old kids with us. She did a great job with them and they came away with a lot of great knowledge to... more

Linda Lee was our tour guide; would be difficult to top her. Great knowledge base and very animated story teller. Enjoyed her memories of “Chinese School” the most, these were precious. Having also been to China, the area captures the “feel” of China, but you can drink the water. Unlike other parts of San Francisco, this walking trip did not... more

Linda is a great guide! We learned the history of the Chinese immigrants into SF as well as their current living situation. We got to tour a fortune cookie factory (complete w/ sample), a temple, and a Chinese pharmacy. This is definitely the best way to experience Chinatown. more

Linda Lee's tour was a gem. Some people just have the right combination of knowledge, a good personality, a genuine interest in the topic, and the ability to lead and talk about it with zest even though it's for the umpteenth time. Linda can do that. Because she had a classic Chinatown upbringing in a large family, she can give... more

I took this tour with my husband and parents. Linda Lee does a perfect job at taking you to locations you would NEVER EVER find on your own in Chinatown! My family enjoyed the 2 hour "behind-the-scenes" tour and dim sum lunch. (The lunch is great and worth the extra money). Linda does an excellent job educating you about the... more
