History and Culture of the Oldest Chinatown through Food - This was a wonderful tour and Jian was a wonderful guide. He was super knowledgeable and personable, he answered all of our questions, had great stories, and explained everything we ate greatly! Because I went during Chinese New Year, Chinatown was very busy but Jian made sure we kept up with him the whole time, offering plenty of breaks when needed. All of the food we ate was authentic and amazing, Jian has so many connections we rarely had to wait even for the most busy of restaurants. He handled all of the payments leaving us time to rest and he even dealt with our trash so we did not have to carry that with us. I would recommend this tour to everyone, young or old, solo or a group. To be able to go to such a cultural and historic place with an experienced and knowledgeable guide is invaluable. Please go on this tour!

Food Coma - Lots of food. It was an awesome experience. If you do a morning tour, don’t eat breakfast. Our guide Jenelle was cheerful and bubbly. She loves people and cats.
