5.00Isaac was a knowledgeable guide and made the tour very fun. He had everyone introduce themselves, which makes a tour friendly and interactive. The food stops were well-chosen, and Isaac had interesting stories about the cooking process as well as how local families enjoy the dishes.
I had two fantastic tours...

5.00I had two fantastic tours with Hong Kong free tours. First I was apart of a Hong Kong food tour with Wind, our wonderful tour guide. The food was delicious and Wind was knowledgeable about all the food and helped with my accomodations due to my tree nut and peanuts allergy. Then, possibly one of the best moves, after your tour ends they give you a period to book any of their other tours half price! I took them up on this offer and the next day did the big Buddha in Hong Kong with Wind again. Again, Wind was fantastic and was extremely knowledgeable about buhdism. She also gave me great recommendations for the rest of Hong Kong and showed us some things that other tours wouldn't do, like going to a quieter Buddhist temple where she taught us traditional Buddhist prayer and meditation as well as meeting with a local at the Tai O fishing village. Overall my two tours with Wind were some of the best tours I've ever had, and I can't highly recommend her and Hong Kong Free Tours enough!
A Must food tour in Hong Kong
