5.00We had an enjoyable 2-hour walking tour in Kowloon with Summer, who was attentive, insightful and knowledgeable about the city's history, traditions and food culture. It was such a nice way to start a trip in Hong Kong especially with the practical tips received from the tour guide. Thank you!

5.00Fantastic experience, highly recommend! Stephen was a great guide and took us to places that we would never have gone on our own. I suggest bringing your own water as it's a good amount of walking with multiple stops for little snacks. The value was good and we were pleased to be in a small group of about 8 people.
Great tour!

5.00Booked this tour at the last minute and so glad we did. Our guide was Summer and she did an excellent job. Took us to so many interesting places and sampled some foods we would have never known to even look for. Tour lasted about 3 hours and was easy walking. Much better than just wandering around on our own through Kowloon.
Food and culture in HK!

5.00Summer was very informative and entertaining. It was great to be shown around by a real Hong Konger. If I had more time I would have considered another tour with her or the company.
The best tour ever!

5.00Perfect tour for foodies. Not a food tour exactly but more so a tour of the local food culture and the markets. Lok Lok, our guide, was perfect. She answered my one million questions about life in Hong Kong and really made the experience 5 stars. I cannot recommend the tour enough if you want to learn more about how real people live in Hong Kong!
Great tour!
