1.00I do not recommend this food tour.it is a very poor tour. The first stop was not too bad, street food in a corner place, some Siu Mai. But When We went to the second place, we surprised. I t was so dirty place, in the second floor of “Sheung Wan Cooked Food Center”, the guy that was there had dirty clothes, I don’t know the owner or cook. So, my wife and me decided to leave the tour, very unhealthy place. I didn’t want to get sick.
Must do Hong Kong

5.00Amazing food tour with Jasmine. She was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, telling us about life in Hong Kong, its history and how the very diverse cuisine of the city evolved over centuries. The tour was 3 hours, with about 8 stops - street stalls, restaurants (small and local) and snacks. Everything was tasty and it was interesting to hear from the shop owners about the food and drink they sold. We would absolutely encourage anyone interested in the food of HK to take this tour. It was great value for a whole afternoon and we definitely didn’t need dinner afterwards! Thank you Jasmine
A great, diverse selection of dim sum from all around the city!

5.00This tour was a blast and a great way to try a bunch of Hong Kong staples. Hody was so friendly, energetic, and full of great stories. She has a great personality and really kept the energy up throughout the tour. I booked a trip with my partner to dip our toes into Hong Kong's culinary scene. The food was all delicious! That being said, Hong Kong's food culture is rich and incredibly diverse. This tour is a great option for someone just beginning to explore these cooking traditions. We found everything was really accessible to our Western palates, so don't worry if you're not feeling too "adventurous" about stuff like chicken feet, tripe, stinky tofu, etc. We also got a nice view of different parts of Hong Kong Island. Traveling from one vendor of delicious food to the next is a great excuse to get around the city. The group of other travelers was large and diverse, so it was also a nice way to meet other people from all over the world. Highly recommended!
Great food tour!

5.00We had our tour with Hody and she was so wonderful. We went to eight different places (all of which were phenomenal) and she made sure everyone was able to photograph and taste everything. Despite the rainy weather we had such an amazing time and Hody was an incredible guide, making sure we tried lots of different local foods and learned about their significance.
Very tasty afternoon with Hazel. Thank you!

5.00My husband and I loved this tour with Jasmine as our guide. She is so pleasant and kind! We appreciated the variety and the opportunity to enjoy many local favorites (e.g., soup dumplings, noodles, yuen yeung). We also loved learning about her experience in Hong Kong and traveling the world. Highly recommend this tour, but make sure you come with an empty stomach!
Thank you Simeone for sharing Hong Kong with us!

5.00We had a very enjoyable afternoon with our guide/dim sum expert Simeone! It was obvious from the first moment we met up with the group that she loves her job, city , food and sharing it all with visitors. Each stop was well thought out and we really liked the variety . The shop keepers seemed glad to have us too. Excellent service today!
