We had a great tour with Stephen! My teens had a fantastic time. It was enough food for dinner and we started at 3pm. (Didn’t eat until the next morning. So full!) really great tour even in the rain! Highly recommended.

This tour was ok. We spent a lot of time standing in the street eating and I would have preferred being able to sit and get out of the heat and rain. The tour also ran an hour longer than scheduled.

An immersive and adventurous culinary experience. Our guide, Wing Man, patiently guided us through an interesting array of flavors, which reflect the uniquely diverse history of Hong Kong. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get a broad sampling of Hong Kong's cuisine, but you don't know where to start.

I had a great time with Ice and the tour. Time flew and we hit up around 8 local spots showing us a sneak peek into local life. Ice is patient, took time to answer our questions, had great recommendations of course and I had a fun group on this tour. Will highly recommend and take another of the tours next I am in HK with time to spare.

Lok Lok and Isaac were absolutely fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and kind. They made our food tour an experience we will never forget. So much fresh food to try from local people. After this experience we will definitely be booking more food tours in our future travels. Highly recommend Lok Lok and Isaac

I had such a fun experience with Lok Lok today trying local foods and learning about Chinese culture and local businesses. Highly recommended if you are in HK.

Absolutely loved our afternoon with Summer. We walked around the central area eating what the locals enjoy day to day. We didn’t venture too far from our starting point between our 8 destinations mainly eating on the street. A few tea stops along the way some good, some “interesting” 😁 loved all the dumplings.

We had a great group of travelers. We were a little rowdy, but Wang Man made our experience so much fun! Everyone loved her energy and she set such a good tone for the group that then encouraged everyone else to interact with one another.
