Best food and walking tour in Hong Kong !!

5.00We had the best time with Sinclair on our private food/walking tour! We met at Hong Kong Station and were whisked away to some incredible food! The first dim sum house was such a fun experience and we had the most amazing custard ball and fried BBQ pork bun. Our favorite stop was the BBQ pork and noodles - so delicious! We had several other food stops and we were completely full even before we finished all the stops ! We also learned a bunch about the neighborhoods we went through, visited Man Mo temple, and took the Star Ferry across the bay to Kowloon. Sinclair was a great guide, so informative, and definitely brought us to the best food we could have imagined! It was such a breeze booking with Hello Hong Kong too. I highly recommend this tour and will be telling everyone I know coming to Hong Kong to book!

He had always a smile on his face (even if he had to walk around with us on a really hot and humid day) and gave us so many interesting facts about the city and showed us so many different locations and his favourite food and restaurants. Thank you so much for these incredible stop over in Hong Kong:)
Making the most of a long layover

5.00Hello Hong Kong helped us turn an inconvenience into a wonderful experience! My family of 4 (wife, 2 young daughters, and I) had to book an itinerary with an overnight/20 hour layover in HK. But we were told by a friend about Hello HK and booked the layover tour. We had an excellent tour guide Mel to make our short time perfect despite some rain! He put together a tour plan based completely on what we wanted (Dim Sum and Victoria’s Peak) and added in a few extra fun and historical elements. All the while Mel gave us incredible insight into HK history and local culture. We totally enjoyed our tour and would do it again if we have another chance in the future!
Great sampling of Hong Kong in a short time!!

5.00We took the layover tour with Richard. This was our first visit to Hong King and it turned out to be a great way to sample it’s famous sights, culture, food, history and geography. Richard adjusted the tour as per our preferences and along the way gave us insights into various aspects of Hong Kong. Besides popular places he also took us off the beaten path to give us an insiders view. All in all the tour exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended.
Fun tour with our own guide during our long layover

5.00We booked this 6 hour tour since it was our first visit to Hong Kong, and wanted to use our time as efficiently as possible. The directions for meeting our guide were spot on after our 12 hour flight. Sinclair met us at airport and we followed him like a family of Peking ducks, all 8 of us, using the public transport and walking all around Central Hong Kong and Mong Kok. By train, Peak Tram, bus, and boat, Sinclair easily navigated our group through an excellent overview of HK. He is a wealth of information, excellent group photographer, and answered all our questions as we were guided through the streets. His sense of humor and quick walking pace kept us all awake as we were fighting off our jet lag.
Great tour for a long layover...

5.00We had a last minute reroute with our flight and wound up having an 11 hour layover in Hong Kong. I made arrangements 2 days before for us to have the 6 hour tour while we were there. Things could not have gone more smoothly. Communication was great! Ryan met us at the airport and showed us some of the main sights to see around town. We got to experience the different means of public transportation and some local food. The trip to Victoria Peak was the highlight of the day. What a beautiful view! Ryan was very friendly and informative, we learned a lot. It was a great day!
Excellent Private Layover Tour with Richard

5.00We had a 12 hour layover in Hong Kong so my husband, 11 year old son, and I took advantage of it by spending a wonderful and enjoyable day with Richard visiting the sites by public transportation. Richard was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and immediately put our family at ease. Although this was not my husband's nor my first time in Hong Kong, Richard shared a lot of history and information which was new to us, and he did a great job of keeping our son engaged. Highly recommend this tour for everyone!
Fun and Interesting

5.00I had the best time. I got to see soooo much even though 5 hrs where not near enough to be able to see it all. We did most of the tour by walking and a few rides by train, double decker and boat. Tried some local delicious food and snack. Mel was an amazing tour guide and photographer. He’s very knowledgeable and had my best time with him. Can’t wait to get back soon and thx for all ur help.
Great Layover experience!

5.00I had a 1 hr. layover in Hong Kong so my cousins booked me on a 6 hr tour through Hello Hong Kong, because they had enjoyed their tour through them in December. Ryan was so open and friendly and willing to discuss any topic in detail. It was not a rush to see everything tour. We went at my pace and lingered or passed depending on my interest, but we also managed to pack in so many interesting places. When I told my cousins all the interesting "fun facts" I learned about Hong Kong they were impressed on how diverse my tour was. We will all be recommending Hello Hong Kong and I especially recommend Ryan.
Hong Kong at it's best!

5.00Richard took us on a fantastic 7 hour tour of Hong Kong. His wealth of knowledge about geography, landmarks, history and Philosophies were outstanding. The walk down Lugard Road to the best view of Hong Kong was just one of many highlights. Richard went above and beyond to organise a very special lunch for us at Chi Lin Nunnery.
