5.00Summer was a delightful guide. We had a wonderful tour, stopping for food and informative insights. Summer was bright, engaging and worked hard to make sure everyone was involved and had their questions answered. No doubt a five star experience.
One of the best walking tours we have been on!

5.00Summer is an excellent guide! One of the best we have had (and we travel a lot). The tour is fast paced (as everything else in HKG) but Summer really showed us some wonderfull back streets that we never would have found otherwise. Great little treats along the way with lots of information about HKG the way it is today. This tour suits people who can move fast for approximately 2 km. If you have a walking disability it is not for you. I truly recommend this tour!
Great tour!

5.00Thanks to Stephen! He was very informative, helpful and patient with guests. This tour was certainly “off the beaten path” and not touristy! Also great with explaining extras, and some banter too!
