My family of six went on the tour with Molly and she was wonderful. This is the first private tour we have ever done and if we had more time, we would have done her Little Italy tour as well. If you are visiting SF and want to experience all Chinatown has to offer, I certainly recommend you book with her. We never would have understood the intracacies of Chinatown without Molly. Thank you Molly!

I took two 90-minute tours (Chinatown and North Beach) with a woman named Molly on a hot day in May. I've been to San Francisco a hundred times but I've never seen it quite this way. We saw fortune cookies being made, sampled fudge, wandered through a Chinese meat market, and found a secret tunnel in a store basement. In addition to being quite the historian, Molly had photos and diagrams to illustrate her stories. The tour guide makes all the difference on these sorts of tours, and Molly was a wonderful guide. She was passionately in love with her city and her job, and it showed.
