5.00Very nice survey of Hong Kong street cuisine. Exactly what we were looking for. Isaac is pleasant entertaining and informative. Loved the dim sum but the herbal tea not so much. One hint; if you go bring Purcell and wet wipes. Isaac was well equipped but it never hurts to have more. Bring a sense of adventure and an appetite and you won’t leave hungry
A highlight for foodies

5.00The food tour with Stephen was an excellent introduction to Hong Kong cuisine. The pace was just right, and we visited mostly local spots that felt authentic and welcoming. Even though I’m familiar with Cantonese food, it was refreshing to experience genuine local recommendations rather than something trending on Instagram. Stephen explained each dish thoughtfully, gave us time to take photos before serving, and added context that made the experience even more memorable. Overall, it was an outstanding tour — well worth the time and highly recommended.
