We had the pleasure of taking a tour of Chinatown Sunday May 20, 2012 with Beth from All About Chinatown Tours. The tour was well worth the price. We saw many different parts of Chinatown and even got to hear a gentleman play a Chinese violin. Beth did a great job. She is very knowledgeable about the area and was... More

Thank you for sending us your thoughts about your tour with Beth. Beth is an outstanding tour guide and I am glad that her tour was comprehensive, fun, and leisurely. You were fortunate to have heard Mr. Yee play his "erhu." Ending the tour with the dim sum luncheon is a great way to dine with new friends, as dim... More

Linda puts on a great tour of Chinatown. Interesting historic facts, attention to our personal needs and questions, a fabulous lunch, and a wonderful stroll through many 'unusual' spots in Chinatown. We loved it. We highly recommend it to all newcomers and tourists. Great fun, well worth the price. More

It was very interesting, and we loved your insight to Chinatown -- we had been there before but just walked through, and we got to see it through different eyes this time. I loved how you remembered all our names and brought our... More

Beth is an outstanding tour guide and I'm glad you agree. Pacing is very important on a walking tour of Chinatown - moving easily and leisurely in a bustling neighborhood in a hilly city is a skill we have all developed over the years. Thanks for letting future guests know you had an enjoyable experience with our company. More

After reading many reviews on All About Chinatown tours, we felt it was a perfect fit for a tour with our 8 year old son. Took a few minutes to book and a super fast response to emails. Showed up at the meeting space and had about 8 other people on our tour with LYNN. WOW! What a great tour.... More

This review was a pleasure to read and confirms what we know about Lynn - that she is a knowledgable and interesting tour guide for groups of all ages. Each one of our tour guides draw upon different experiences and knowledge when giving tours and that's what makes taking the tour each time a new experience. Thank you so much... More

She is a real pro with a passion for her subject, great skill in tailoring her wealth of knowledge to the available time, and also to her audiences' interests. Linda grew up in Chinatown,... More

The entire second grade from our school in Concord went on its eighth annual tour with All About Chinatown, and this one with Lynn was the best yet! She knows so much about the area and its history. She kept not only my second graders fascinated but the parents as well. We wove in and out of the back alleys... More

Thank you for your glowing review of Lynn's tours. It requires great talent and work to keep both students and parents engaged on a walk through bustling Chinatown. We are glad that you continue to bring your school groups to visit Chinatown with guides who make these field trips educational, fun, and most of endearing of all, memorable. More

Tour Guide Linda Lee grew up in Chinatown and her walking tour offers access to all sorts of places 'outsiders' would never know to look for. She's funny, frank, and offers a wealth of information about this remarkable community -- historical as well as current.
