Wind did a great job telling us about Hong kongs history and showing us how the locals live and play. We also got to see places that we wouldn't have come across ourselves as first time visitors. Thank you

Our guide, Wind, was very attentive to everyone in the group, making sure no one got lost on the busy streets. She shared stories from Hong Kong’s past and encouraged us to ask questions about anything that caught our interest. Overall atmosphere was really great. This tour is a good way to get acquainted with local cuisine and take notes on places worth exploring further. All the food was enjoyable and not overwhelming in any way—I would recommend this experience to anyone. And with a guide like Wind, you will definitely be happy with your choice of activity.

I loved this tour. It was a short but incredibly interesting trip through some of Hong Kong’s intriguing streets- Simone provided insight into the history and culture of the city, while also introducing us to some new foods that form part of HK’s culinary history. I found the tour interesting and delicious and would highly recommend it.

A great tour and made even more so by Stephen. He took us to places that I doubt you’d see without local knowledge and certainly got me eating food that I wouldn’t normally try. If you’re looking for something different then I’d definitely recommend doing this tour.

The tour was informative, and I tried things I would not normally have sampled. Our guide was amazing and kept our large group together and engaged. The highlight was the little restaurant where we had abaloni - delicious. I learned a lot about Hong Kong and Kowloon.

Stephen was a fantastic guide for our street market walking tour in Kowloon. He was very informative, and clearly showed great pride in his city. We learned a lot about Hong Kong in general, met some lovely fellow travellers from the US and Dubai, and had a great experience exploring the various local markets. We had the opportunity to try some local food and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommend for people that want to see more than just the standard sights.

Michael is a great storyteller and guide. I really enjoyed the info provided regarding the local culture and history. Hearing his story was also very interesting and telling and appreciated the personal insight. The places visited very unique so def think it's a worthy tour. The only aspect that threw me off was that this was not an food tour. I must have not read through the description properly as I was def expecting to eat more than we did. It was a minimal tasting tour which Michael did explain at the beginning. It was just that my expectation were different but the tour in itself is great! Would def recommend.

Summer 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.

Summer 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!
