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!

5.00We chose to do the food walking tour and what an experience it was. We saw streets we’d never have found ourselves and learnt a lot about the local food and history of Hong Kong. Jasmine our guide was very friendly and informative with a great sense of humour. Loved eating foods we never would have tried without her
