This was truly the best tour we had in our whole 4 week vacation!! Jasmine was an amazing tour guide. She was very kind and had a lot of story’s about Hongkong itself, the food and the people. I recommend everyone to take the tour if you can. It was definitely worth the money. I would give 6 out of 5 stars!

We had a fantastic experience on this food tour. Our guide Hazel was friendly and informative. We enjoyed the markets and learning about the local cuisine. The food was scrumptious as well as varied. Highly recommend this tour and Hazel as a guide.

We had a fantastic afternoon with Hazel. She shared a lot of information in a fun and engaging way, so even my teenage daughter thoroughly enjoyed it. We also had some delicious food, and there was more than enough to eat. All in all, we highly recommend it!

What an amazing tour with Lok Lok, she is an absolute delight and so passionate and knowledgeable about the non tourist side of Hong Kong. I would highly recommend doing any of the tours with Hong Kong Free Tours (not free! But inexpensive and away from the normal tourist places). These tours show you how locals live in HK

This was a fantastic insight into the real Hong Kong. Visiting food markets where locals shop and then having it cooked to order. Really great guide. Highly recommend.

Excellent and immersive tour that started at the Sham Shui Po station and brought us around the colorful stalls of the local market. Our guides, Deryk and Michael informed us the tour was newly revamped last week (Michael owns the company) with improvements to reflect the area's rich history and community network. We tried authentic dishes at several locations with a balance of crowd-pleasers and more adventurous bites; there was not an extensive amount of walking and escalator use for the several floors of the wet market. Overall an affordable and enriching experience to appreciate the market culture of Hong Kong. Thank you Michael and Deryk for your time!

Best tour for real foodies wanting to get next level understanding of the food that feeds Hong Kong. Michael was an incredibly interesting, energetic guide to shopping and eating like a local, helping us understand history and culture in an area encapsulating the soul of Hong Kong. And the food was yummy! Really excellent experience.
