A walking guide through Chinatown. I was the only guest and my guide Kenichi was extremely knowledgable with excellent English . He explained the context of the buildings and area really well. I felt that it was an excellent live history lesson and he answered all of my questions in a really helpful and informative way. It was thoroughly enjoyable . He is an excellent guide. Thank you.
