5.00Great tour for our family of four (all adults). Mel did an outstanding job introducing us to authentic local food and a general overview of Hong Kong. It was a wonderful way to spend a day at port from our cruise. They helped us arrange comfortable transportation to and from the tour.

5.00Ivy our guide was exceptional. We would not have found these places on our own. We tried a variety of local dishes, I think sticky pork was my favourite. Ivy speaks perfect English and is friendly and knowledgeable.

5.00While food was the theme the atmosphere was the star of this tour. The sites, sounds, smells and taste on this 4 hour adventure through Hong Kong markets was truly memorable. The streets and stalls were alive with people. While it might seem somewhat chaotic the energy in this gathering of humanity was extraordinary. Our guide Mel was fantastic both of terms of introducing us to savoury delights and providing historic perspective. His schedule was adaptable to our interests and needs. Plus he was excellent at replying to our numerous questions. It was an evening well spent.
Great time with Sinclair

5.00Four of us went with a guide named Mel and had a wonderful five hour walking tour. Mel was prompt and professional and took pride in his city. We enjoyed the culinary and cultural experience and were able to see far more of the city then we would on our own. Highly enjoyable.
