What To Expect

Meet your private guide in the morning in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong Island and follow on foot to a nearby restaurant. Arrive hungry, as you'll start the day with a traditional dim sum (yum cha) breakfast in a decades-old teahouse with a lively atmosphere. Find yourself transported back to a bygone era as you sample authentic dumplings still served via trolley. Your next stop is a family-run wonton noodle shop, established in the 1960s and recommended by the Michelin Guide. Bite into this local specialty, a dish that only a true master can perfect. Then it's time for a cup of milk tea, perhaps the most pervasive legacy of Hong Kong's former British rule. Next, travel aboard the Ding Ding (the Hong Kong tramway; own expense) to another family-run restaurant, which dates back to the pre-20th century Qing Dynasty and is renowned for its char siu. You're served a mixture of roasted meats, cooked in the traditional style and served with rice and homemade sauces. Finish at a well-established bakery, a personal favorite of a former Hong Kong governor. Sink your teeth into an egg tart, or dan tat in Cantonese, another Chinese version of an English pastry — the custard tart. In between visits to these eateries in Sheung Wan, Central, and Wan Chai, stop by a dried seafood shop for a look at ingredients traditionally used in soups, a Chinese medicine shop originating from 1940s, and Hong Kong’s oldest wet market. At the end of your food tour, your guide will explain how to get back to your hotel or give recommendations and directions to another point of interest. Hotel pick-ups can be arranged.

While 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

Honestly, this is the best tour I have ever been a part of. Mel, our guide, was so funny and knowledgeable. The communication, history, culture and of course the food was all world class. The private tour was totally customized to our liking and preferences. Absolutely can't experience while in Hong Kong!

Four 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.
A fantastic experience . Authentic and informative . Highly recommend

Sinclair was an above and beyond great tour guide. Very knowledgeable, showed us spots we would have likely not ventured into as tourist. Showed us the “traditional way” to eat and experience food in HK. As a bonus he was a phenomenal photographer and took many priceless photos throughout our tour
Great Tour! Amazing way to see Hong Kong

The food on this tour was amazing! Sinclair, our tour guide, was knowledgable and a lot of fun! He knew a lot about the food culture in Hong Kong and took us to a couple locations that we’d definitely return to should we come back to Hong Kong. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to visit Hong Kong! Sincerely, Felix, Lucas & Jorg!
Great Tour

An incredibly good tour, you get to places you would never have found, with restaurants without any tourists, you only see locals. Our guide, a nice lady, spoke perfect English and gave us a lot of background information.
