Hello! I’m Benny, your adventurous local host in Hong Kong. I’m passionate about sharing the vibrant and diverse experiences this city has to offer. One of my favorite things about Hong Kong is the incredible variety of food and drinks available everywhere—whether it’s savoring tender BBQ pork or indulging in crispy roast duck, there's always something delicious to try. I also appreciate how easy it is to get around the city and how safe it feels. When I’m not exploring the bustling streets or enjoying a meal, you can find me hiking on beautiful trails like Dragon’s Back and Lamma Island or relaxing on a boat trip and lounging on the beach. I love discovering all the cool neighborhoods and the unique charm they each have. I’m also well-versed in local highlights like the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. Whether you’re here for the food, the scenery, or the vibrant city life, I’m excited to help you experience the best of Hong Kong!

Benny, vår guide, hörde av sig till oss i god tid innan resan. Han ville veta våra matpreferenser. Han var noggrann och intresserad. Väl på plats kände vi oss väl omhändertagna. Han var i tid och kändes förberedd och så vandrade vi ut på Hong Kongs gator. Vi hamnade, precis som vi hade hoppats, på genuina restauranger med fantastiskt spännande och god mat. Benny lärde oss hur vi skulle äta, om maten och även om dagens Hong Kong. Vi enormt nöjda med hans insats som gav oss ett minne för livet. Benny, our guide, contacted us well in advance of the trip. He wanted to know our food preferences. He was thorough and interested. Once there, we felt well taken care of. He was on time and felt prepared, and so we wandered out onto the streets of Hong Kong. We ended up, just as we had hoped, at genuine restaurants with fantastically exciting and delicious food. Benny taught us how to eat, about the food, and also about today's Hong Kong. We were extremely satisfied with his efforts, which gave us a memory for life.
