We had a great time with Dennis and really enjoyed his personalized tour of TST/Mong Kok. We were brand new to Hong Kong (this was actually our first day) and it was really nice to get a chance to dig into the city and help get our bearings around where we were staying to make it less intimidating for the rest of our time there. He shared some of his favorite eateries (including a Michelin starred noodle shop) and helped us order and get a taste for some of the local cuisine, which we for sure would not have found on our own. We was kind enough to pick us up at our hotel and ended the tour allowing us to get some great views and pictures at the promenade at dusk. Highly recommended for anyone else who is wanting to dip their toes into HK and at the same time get to try some great food!
Truly a memorable first day in Hong Kong. It’s fantastic to know that Dennis' personalized introduction to TST and Mong Kok helped you feel more comfortable navigating the city and gave you a taste of local life right from the start. We're especially glad you enjoyed discovering local eateries, trying authentic cuisine, and ending the experience with beautiful views along the promenade at dusk. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We appreciate your recommendation, and we hope you had an amazing time exploring Hong Kong for the rest of your trip!
We did this food tour our first night in Hong Kong. Benny was an excellent guide, spoke perfect English and was a lot of fun. We got to experience a different part of Hong Kong and eat like the locals. Food was yummy and very filling. Great way to really experience Kowloon.
We’re delighted to hear you had such a great first night in Hong Kong with Benny. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed exploring Kowloon, experiencing local food, and spending time with a guide who made the evening fun and engaging.
Regene, our tour guide, was wonderful! She asked us what we wanted to see and scheduled the tour around our interests. When we asked to see something different than the towering skyscrapers that define Hong Kong, Regene took us to a Buddist temple, Chi Lin Nunnery and it's garden. Serenity in the heart of the city. So happy not to have missed this gem. Thanks to Regene, we got to experience an iconic Hong Kong ritual, Villain Hitting. Incense and drama, and a lot of fun. An excellent tour and a great night in Hong Kong. Thanks, Regene.
We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience in Hong Kong with Regene, and that she was able to tailor the evening to your interests so thoughtfully. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed discovering the serenity of Chi Lin Nunnery and its gardens, as well as experiencing the unique Villain Hitting ritual — such a special way to connect with local culture.
Our guide, Kiyo, was very tentative and engaging. He reached out to us as soon as we made the reservation. Despite the inconvenience, he met us at our hotel. We really enjoyed listening to the history of Hong Kong as well visiting restaurants that locals go to. We had an amazing time during our first night in Hong Kong.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to know that Kiyo was attentive and engaging from the moment you booked, and that he made the extra effort to meet you at your hotel despite the inconvenience. We’re especially glad you enjoyed learning about the city’s rich history and discovering local dining spots, exactly the kind of authentic experience we aim to provide. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
Dennis is a friendly and knowledgeable guide. He communicated quickly and his English is very good. We didn’t research enough in advance to make specific requests of what to see and visit. Our tour was in the late afternoon and it was a food tasting tour of sorts. We walked around the Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei neighborhoods but didn’t visit any historical sites. It was interesting to see the local shops. I recommend being specific about what you want to see in the tour as Dennis offers a few different tours depending on your interests.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad you had a good time with Dennis, and we appreciate your feedback.`We hope to welcome you back soon for another customized experience!
The city walk from Mong Kok to Yau Ma Tei included cultural explanations, architectural tours, introduction and tasting of local traditional snacks and popular foods. This was a very rich, diverse and wonderful experience. Thank you Donald for your careful arrangement and safe guidance. Leave a lasting and wonderful memory!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the cultural insights, architectural tours, and local snacks. Donald is thrilled to have created lasting memories for you.
This is definitely the tour worth traveling. Victor was a great host and tour guide. He was very knowledgeable with every area we visited in regards to the history and statistics of Hong Kong’s history and living populace. We appreciate he was able accommodate to our schedule after we arrived late due to our plane. He was able to create an itinerary that suited my roommate and myself that showcased lots of local foods, views, and great pubs that most tourists wouldn’t get the chance to see. He also provided recommendations where to visit for our following day. I would highly recommend Victor again and again
Ben did a great job. He took us into places we would never have gotten as a regular tourist. Hong Kong has a huge underground world which connects everything. This included street shopping which was amazing. We ate in a small Korean restaurant which was fantastic. His energy was amazing and he worked with us to get whatever we wanted. I strongly suggest this as a way to find things and places you would never find otherwise as well as to get an honest personal view of life in Hong Kong. Very good.
