This was a great walking tour. Our guide Jackie made the experience memorable, she really painted a picture of how the Chinatown and Kensington markets came to be, and what makes them special to this day. Kensington is an awesome area to visit, there are so many unique shops and a diverse mix of foods from around the world.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, and had her facts down pat. Her love for the area showed - and we learned things about the city we never expected.
