“I discovered Bob Sung’s Chinatown tour through an online blog post, and it was an amazing experience for me and my parents! Bob was such a great tour guide; he was so knowledgeable about Chinese Canadian history, especially related to Vancouver. I will also be going back to some of the restaurants/bakeries/shops we visited because the food & tea we sampled were amazing (& I saw so many other delicious items to try). My perception and experiences of Vancouver’s Chinatown have been enriched by Bob, and I recommend that anyone who plans to go to Vancouver’s Chinatown sign up for this tour! Even if you’ve already visited Vancouver’s Chinatown before,…”

“I can’t believe I’m writing a review like this but my guide was that terrible. I specifically asked the company for someone close to my age and that knows fashions, they were way off base and I don’t recommend them at all. Vania Mello (65+ and doesn’t know fashion) was bad because she’s racist (she told me Richmond BC had a lot of Chinese and she’s scared to drive there because… I’m sure you know the rest, unfortunately), she kept talking about the history and the architecture of the city even though she knew I only wanted to go shopping and I had absolutely no interest in the architecture and…”

“Karen was extremely knowledgeable and a great guide. She was determined to give us the best experience possible—and she accomplished that goal!
