Excellent walking tour. Nice history of Chinatown. Food was very good and nice variety provided throughout the tour. A good amount of up/down hills so bring your walking shoes! Also recommend bringing a bottle of water with you as many of the food samples are “as you walk”.

Upbeat informative Chinatown Food Tour

Brian was well versed about Chinatown and a variety of history. A perfect person to entertain a crowd for this venue. He was an absolute delight- all of the shop keepers seem to know and like him. At first we thought we had a different tour guide - they had zero personality in comparison. We were so grateful to have him as our guide.
