5.00We had a great time on our Hong Kong food tour with Habby. It was advertised as a small group and we ended up being 14, but Habby did an awesome job of making it feel more intimate. He introduced himself and had all of us introduce ourselves and where we were from! Set such a positive tone for the entire experience. Lots of interactions with others on the tour. Habby was passionate and knowledgeable! The food was great! And we ate much more than we expected to eat! It was an awesome way to learn about the different regions of Chinese food and how Hong Kong was predominately Cantonese! I would highly recommend this tour and Habby!
Best Guide ever

5.00Habby is the best guide ever, we really enjoyed the tour and his carefree nature is infectious. Make sure to try the 24 flowers herbal tea on the trip (It’s very tasty). The abalone was out of this world. The shark fin tasted like a sweetie.
