Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Thinking about bringing my kids.

A: There's no strict age limit! This tour is family-friendly and kids typically enjoy the tastings and cultural stories. Just keep in mind that some of the food might be a bit adventurous for picky eaters. Also, pacing can be a bit slow for younger kids, but overall it's great for all ages!

Q: What’s the best way to get to Chinatown? Is parking a hassle?

A: Public transport is your best bet! The T (subway) is super convenient; just hop on the Orange Line to Haymarket or the Green Line to Boylston. If you drive, parking can be a headache. There are garages nearby, but they're pricey. Just plan to arrive a bit early to find a good spot!

Q: What should I wear? I heard it can get hot walking around.

A: Definitely dress for comfort! Wear lightweight clothes and comfy sneakers since you'll be walking for about 3 hours. Bring a hat or sunglasses for sunny days, and layers could be wise if the weather's unpredictable. You'll enjoy it more if you're comfy!

Just got back from the Dumplings to Dim Sum tour in Chinatown!

OMG, you guys! I just did the Dumplings to Dim Sum tour in Boston’s Chinatown, and it was AMAZING! We got to sample so many unique dishes, from traditional dumplings to some funky modern takes. Our guide was super passionate about the history and culture, which made it even better. If you're thinking about gifts for foodies, don’t hesitate! Just keep in mind, it's a lot of walking, so wear comfy shoes!

Considering gifting the Chinatown tour!

I wanna gift the Dumplings to Dim Sum tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves trying new foods, but I’m worried she might not like some of the dishes. Has anyone done it? How’s the variety? Any recommendations for picky eaters?
