Hey there! I'm Mark, a local host in the vibrant city of Hong Kong. I love the unique blend of eastern and western cultures that can be found here and the ease of getting around with the city's convenient transportation system. And let's not forget about the food – Hong Kong is truly a foodie's paradise with various choices, from street food to fancy restaurants. As a local, I love exploring the heritage buildings and vibrant neighborhoods that truly represent the authentic character of Hong Kong. I also enjoy finding good food with friends and discovering hidden gems around the city. I'm familiar with many of the popular areas in Hong Kong, including Sheungwan, Sai Ying Poon, Causeway Bay, Wanchai, North Point, and Kowloon's Tsim Sha Tsui, as well as the Outlying Islands like Cheung Chau and Ping Chau. With my expertise in history and authentic culture, I would love to show you the best of Hong Kong, taking you beyond the touristy areas and into the heart of this amazing city. Come join me on an unforgettable adventure

My reviews

My guide, Mr Mark, was friendly and knowledgeable. Mark gave me a lot of recommendations and insights. There was no set itinerary, and I could customise the tour as I wanted on the spot. Mark was unbelievably knowledgeable. I couldn't manage to baffle him with any question. Mark was even down for an unplanned hiking trip I wanted to do. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed my 6 hour tour of Hong Kong with Mark. Absolutely brilliant guide, and even managed to find a local place that could do a gluten free lunch for me. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to see Hong Kong, especially if you are limited on time.

Let me start off by saying Mark is such a genuinely nice human being! Right from the booking, he communicated without any delays and provided a bespoke itinerary to meet my custom requirements. He communicated when he was running a few minutes late and also suggested ways for me to save money. He went way above and beyond by even carrying my purchases in the hot Hong Kong weather so I could focus my efforts in taking pictures! He even checked in on me after the tour. He has become a good friend! Mark knows Hong Kong like the back of his hand and has a great sense of humor to keep us entertained! Book your next HK tour with Mark - you will not be disappointed!
