5.00We didn’t quite know what to expect from a street food tour, but this was fantastic. We tried so many types of food starting with shrimp and pork dim sum then water chestnut jelly then, at the next stage, barbecued and roast pork and it just went on and on. We also made separate stops for herbal and Chinese tea and we were able to sit down at least 4 of the stops to rest our legs. Simeone shared great insights into the local food culture and also liked to share with us some of the history of Hong Kong which we really appreciated to give us a more rounded experience. She was really thoughtful and we were very full at the end of the 3 hour (plus) tour. Tip- come hungry!
Highly recommended food tour!

5.00Thank you, Summer for taking us through the winding roads of the Hong Kong city so that we could sample some amazing food. The tour was well paced, with clear instructions. Good balance of things to eat and drink, sweet and savoury, with sufficient amount of walking. Summer gave us historical context, etiquette tips, travel tips, and entertaining trivia throughout our time. I would highly recommend this tour and our guide Summer to everyone who wishes to visit Hong Kong!

5.007 different places for street food, including familiar items like won ton soup, unusual dishes like Hong Kong French toast, and also the iconic Hong Kong coffee. If you're a Chinese foodie, you will love this tour. I should add that, contrary to previous reviews, our guide Isaac did not actually eat up all of our food.
Best Hong Kong experience
