4.00Mel was a fun and engaging tour guide who wanted to share his city with us. He made us taste a variety of local yummy fruits and street foods. I wish we had done more of the Michelin places and earlier in the tour. But other the that, I would recommend Mel's tour to anyone.
Great private food tour in Hong Kong with Sinclair.

5.00The directions provided for the meeting location and instructions on how to contact our guide were both clear and concise, making it easy to find the starting point and connect with our guide. Our guide, Mel, was fantastic and exceptionally engaging throughout the entire experience. Over the course of our four hours together, Mel consistently answered all our questions and offered deep insights into the Sham Shui Po area. Because our group was small, we had the flexibility to choose from a variety of different foods to sample. There was certainly more than enough food provided for everyone. While I won't spoil the surprises by listing every dish, I would like to highlight the meat and egg sandwich, which was delicious on its own but elevated to another level when paired with the inhouse-made chili sauce. All the venues we visited maintained high standards of hygiene, and I felt completely confident in the quality of the food we enjoyed. Thank you to Hello Hong Kong and, most importantly, to Mel for providing such a wonderful evening. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the culinary delights of Sham Shui Po.
Fantastic Hong Kong Food...

My guide Sinclair was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, taking me to try authentic local dishes and hidden gems I would never have found on my own. Beyond the delicious food, the tour offered a deeper understanding of Hong Kong’s local life, culture, and history. It felt like exploring the city through the eyes of someone who truly loves it. Overall, it was an excellent and memorable experience – highly recommended for anyone who wants to taste and understand the real Hong Kong!

5.00Our tour guide, Mel, was one of the best we have ever had in all our years of travel. He guided us for 4 hours on the streets, side streets of Hong Kong and the areas not usually visited by tourists. We enjoyed great food, good conversation and thoroughly enjoyed our time with Mel. He was knowledgeable, patient, had a great sense of humour and was open to any requests we had. Definitely recommend !
Excellent Food Tour

5.00We had an amazing private tour with Kiyo in March 2025! He took us to so many places we never would have explored on our own, and we learned a ton about life in Hong Kong. We went to a few Michelin spots and had this amazing chilled noodle dish we still talk about. We've been on a bunch of food tours and this one was excellent, one of our favorites. Thank you!
Delightful tour

5.00This was one of favorite tours of all time. The street food (and some sit-down food) combined with walking and shopping the colorful streets of Kowloon was delightful, and all brought to life by Mel, who was engaging, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. My wife and I highly recommend this tour!
