5.00This was the best food tour we've been on. The food quality is really authentic and the portion size was excellent. The pace was perfect with breaks and even learned about history and tourist recommendations on the way. Summer our guide was really friendly, knowledgeable and communicated really well. She clearly loves her job. The whole group had a fantastic time! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Hong Kong. Thank you Summer and the team. Aneta.
Amazing food tour - much more than sampling.

5.00Don't eat before you go. You will have the opportunity to experience a great variety of foods, including things you might not be expecting. Nothing was too exotic, for those fearful of not liking it, but you get a great history of Chinese cuisine while filling up your tummy.
Awesome tour, great mix of common & unfamiliar foods, knowledgeable & attentive tour guide

5.00This was a really fun tour, and I'm super happy that we did it! First off, our tour guide Michael provided a really great experience. Aside from the basics (HK local with great English), he provided very interesting context about the history behind the food we were sampling. He was very attentive -- when he noticed that my mom was having trouble keeping up, he had her walk with him in the lead so as to pace the group, but without making her feel bad (saying that it was a "team effort"). I saw him be equally accommodating to the other people on our tour. Speaking of that, there were about 12 people total, which was small enough that we could have personal attention, but large enough for the opportunity to meet other people from all over the world. The tour is fairly compact geographically, so in 3 hours, you get to try a bunch of different places, and different foods -- savory, sweet, as well as beverages. Our favorite was the dim sum, but there were also BBQ pork, won ton soup, medicinal teas, and some unexpected HK twists on western dishes (if you think you know what "macaroni & cheese" and "French toast" are, you should test your assumptions here). Nice mix of common favorites and the less well-known. All of this in the bustling Sheung Wan area, which showcases the vibrant, crowded side of Hong Kong. $168HK is definitely worth it, especially considering all the food that's included!
This is one of the best...

5.00This is one of the best food tours I've taken. The tour guide, Andy, is great. The food (dimsum, wonton, roast pork) is very yummy!
My favorite food experience in Hong Kong

5.00Yeah so worth it. Michael takes you around the neighborhood and gives you a bunch of different classic HK dishes while giving you all of the relevant info around them. That sounds like a standard food tour but the dishes and info were just so enjoyable. I recommend doing this early in your trip because you’ll feel like you know some basics about HK after. 10/10
