We had a wonderful time with Wendy as our guide around Hong Kong on our first night. Not only did we get to try some amazing foods we also got to see some local sights along the way. Wendy would have kept taking us to try more foods but we were so full we had to throw in the towel. Would definitely recommend this tour if you're ever in HK.

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.

A very interesting and cultural tour. Alfred was very informative and answered our questions readily. He signposted the tour highlights but was flexible to our particular wants.

Pauline, Jan 2025

Our guide, Malin, was wonderful. She has very good knowledge of the history and food of the area. We tasted local food from three different vendors, (a market, restaurant and street food at Temple Market) plus stopped at a bakery to try some of the local desserts. The variety was wonderful, and the food plentiful. Malin was a wonderful guide.
