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!

5.00Ice was so much fun and took us to so many different places that we would have never found on our own. She gave us lots of history about the food and drink and was a great tour guide.

5.00Ice, our guide, was delightful. A joy to tour a small patch of Honkers and try food we wouldn’t have thought of.
Don't miss this one!

5.00Whenever I travel to a new city, I try to arrange a food tour early in the visit as a way of getting a feel for the city. I felt that Street Food would fit my desire. And I was surely correct! This was one of the best tours I've done! Hody was the perfect person to lead this tour. Her enthusiasm and knowledge were the foundation of the tour. I live in Los Angeles so have access to a variety of Chinese foods, but I still learned about new things. The gelatin like substance with the water chestnuts is something I will be looking for to try again. I knew about milk t ea but had never had it. And the French toast and waffle were completely new to me and I loved them. Ending at the tea shop was perfect; I didn't. have to carry my purchase throughout the tour! I would suggest this tour to EVERYONE, especially those unfamiliar with Chinese food! But even those who are knowledgeable will find this wonderful! A great variety to sample.-hgfd/ ;
