5.00Ice, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the beautiful city of Hong Kong. If you love food, this is a tour for you to see some of the best places to grab some food like a local! She took us for some take away dim sum dumplings, shumai, chestnut jelly and white radish cake. Then off to get an egg tart that was fresh out of the oven! With a stop at a roasted meat place to taste char siu, roasted pork and pork belly, such crispy skin! Then a truly hidden gem, where got to share a bowl of macaroni with chicken stock and ham! Great breakfast items along with the Hong Kong special peanut butter filled French toast. She took us to a traditional medicinal 24 herb tea and the sweet 5 flower tea, pick your medicine! Never would have tried the Hong Kong egg waffle, but I’m glad this was a stop, because, this is not to be missed! Crispy and soft airy inside. The tour took us into a wanton noodle soup restaurant and Ice explained what the broth was made of, come hungry! The tour finished off in a tiny little Chinese tea shop and the owner was great and excited to share Chinese traditional tea of oolong. What a fun way to explore the smaller, local hidden gems that most tourist will miss.
Lots of food!

5.00Great tour! Our guide Hody was very friendly and energetic. We were taken to eat many local staples and favorites. There was no shortage of food and everyone was very full by the end. Be ready to walk though as it involves walking for about 2-3 hours with sitting breaks to eat at most locations. The food was included with the purchase of the reservation.
Excellent informative and fun food tour with Issac

5.00Issac was an excellent guide (we did a walking tour with him first and liked his style so much we asked for him again for the food tour). He is excellent at providing information in an interesting and informative way whilst also using humour. He took us to places we wouldn’t have even thought about trying without his knowledge. He also gave us tips on where to find the more unusual delicacies that weren’t part of the tour (snake soup and chicken feet for the braver westerners only!)
Great tour, go hungry!

5.00Absolutely loved this food tour. Be prepared to eat a lot (go hungry!). I forget how many dishes I ate, but I was definitely full at the end. We tried a whole spectrum of things, from sweet to savory, lite bites to full bowls of food. The guide was very knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and provided ample time for photos and bathroom breaks. I went with my friend who lives in Hong Kong and he also said the guide was very good, learning many things he didn't know even though he grew up in HK. Highly recommended!
An absolute MUST!!

5.00Hody is a wonderful tour guide and very passionate about her city. She took us to many stops around Central HK, all with delicious food and provided the history behind it. It would have been overwhelming for me to know where to eat on my own so this tour was perfect!
A highlight of our trip!

5.00Summer was an excellent, informative and humorous guide. She was kind enough to assist with my baby stroller and to make sure my mom and I had access to an elevator wherever possible. The food/drink sampling was delicious and varied. I appreciated that Summer provided the name, pronunciation and spelling of each dish. Highly recommend. Wear comfortable shoes and be hungry! Thank you Summer!
