Our guide, Jack, was AMAZING!! He knew all of the history, took us to many great spots, gave us some tips for dining and shopping later in Chinatown, and even catered to my two kids (bathroom breaks!). Highly recommend Jack - what a gem!!!!

Our Tour Guide (Maggie) was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited, as well as Chinatown in general. We arrived a little early so she went out of her way to take us to see a rehearsal for the Lion Dance. She was very passionate about Chinatown and it's history. The tour was fun and informative.
