We 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
Fun, informative. Tried things I may not normally have.

This is an excellent tour; Jason is both knowledgeable and entertaining. You will be offered a range of local delicacies both savoury and sweet and far more than you will be expecting. A tip from me would be don’t eat beforehand and I’ll be impressed if you eat afterwards. I’m a savoury person but the HK French toast … a revelation! This is one trip that is worth every penny - I definitely recommend it.
Loved the Hong Kong food...

Loved the Hong Kong food tour with Hazel! She did a fantastic job. She made the tour interesting and fun. We had great stops with wonderful food. Food tours are great because you get to try food you may never order on your own.
