This was a fantastic tour. We've previously visited Chinatown many times and have taken self-guided tours but we are so glad to have taken this tour by someone who grew up in Chinatown. Linda was engaging, informative, and entertaining. She welcomed questions and gave everyone on the tour special attention. We learned about the history of Chinatown and so much more. We also learned how and why the Chinese came to America (at least some of them). We learned about Chinese medicine and the medicine shops here. We visited a shop that sold offerings for the deceased. Of course, no visit to Chinatown is complete without talking about the grocery stores and other food shops. We also learned about Chinese culture, languages, religion, and more and more. Yes, you could visit all of these shops on your own but you probably won't know what you're looking at. Linda provided a rich history of the shops and what was in them. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. You are going to get an education in a highly entertaining way, and that's really the best method, right? Thank you, Linda! Your tour was a highlight of our trip.
