Highlights

Enjoy walking around one of the hippest places in town, where more than 100 up-and-coming young designers show their creations in fashion, furniture and jewelry. With a rooftop restaurant and mezzanine floor, this is the place to be if you like design. Ask your host why it’s called the “Police Married Quarters”. It’s just one of the delights that await you on this private tour.

Your host can guide you to a tiny temple dedicated to a Chinese herbalist who donated medicine to the city’s sick and needy. Its ornate design is dramatically contrasted with the buildings alongside it, and a powerful example of this amazing city’s architecture.

This private tour focuses on the hidden gems of Hong Kong, away from the touristy crowds. That’s why your local host can guide you down a narrow alley know only by the locals, at the end of this tunnel-like trip you emerge into a Dai Pai Dong: a bustling open air space filled with locals enjoying tasty cheap eats. The space is filled with steam, colors, lights and aromas with a tiny kiosk cookhouse at the center. This is the genuine Hong Kong, old style.

For a completely different food experience, your host will take you to a family owned Dumplings shop. It’s time for a genuine local snack!

Top off your tour by strolling through Soho and past its super-modern, incredibly tall skyscrapers. Take the ferry to the other side of the harbor, and your host will show you the best spot to enjoy the most awesome lightshow from. Let the floodlights burst into action and see how the skyscrapers come alive in illuminated flashing brilliance.

The local hosts on your private tour are all great storytellers and can’t wait to share some unique insights and personal anecdotes with you! Also, ask as many questions as you want. Your private host is a true local and can give you great advice.

Get ready to enjoy Hong Kong just like a local!

Roof to bars with views - This was my first night in Hong Kong So to meet Isabella that lives here and with all her knowledge was great for me I asked her loads of questions and she helped me a lot we went to two roof top bars and even sore the light show which was ok but I would recommend to see the light show from a boat as they play music that goes along with the lights But for any one travelling to Hong Kong I cannot recommend Isabella enough Thank you again for your knowledge and help

Eye-Opening Walk In Authentic HK Streets - Matteo showed me a fantastic views of HK of that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own In addition to imparting very valuable photography tips and tricks, he weaved that together with his very deep knowledge of little known pockets of the city and the fascinating stories behind each location The tour was a very enlightening experience and his passion for his craft and tales of HK is outstanding

Really great - I can’t review a night tour because due to the ‘ troubles’ Richard thought it better to change it to the day time. It really didn’t matter as the tour he took us on in Kowloon was excellent culminating in taking us to a small local restaurant selling local food which we would not have gone to. He gave us some further ideas of what to see on our trip. One being to go to Stanley which we did and thoroughly enjoyed it. Richard has a great level of knowledge of HongKong/Kowloon and has a brilliant command of the English language.

Another great way to see Hong Kong Island - The operators provided the contact details of the guide as soon as tour was confirmed, was great to be able to contact to confirm rendezvous. Samuel, our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable and we were soon chatting away like old friends. The dim sum restaurant to try the local ware a very nice touch. Another great way to see the ‘real’ Hong Kong.

Not as promised on TripAdvisor - Technically there were places that we couldn’t visit by walking although it was promised on the tour plan. But the tour guide was friendly and flexible and overall we had a very good experience with him so we enjoyed the tour with him. I recommend this kind of tour because it can help you get to places that you wouldn’t know otherwise but I recommend to ask and make sure that what you will get what you expect.

Guide never turned up, no communication with us! - Very disappointed as our guide Samuel never arrived. Another guide, Cosmo was waiting for his client at the same spot, he was able to find out what had happened. Samuel had reported ill 3 hours previously but nobody had warned us and no replacement guide arranged. We waited 40minutes, Cosmo’s client never showed so he kindly gave us a quick version of the tour before leaving us at the star ferry terminus with instructions on where to stand for the light show. We still have had no apology from the company.

Walking uphill streets for 3 hours - The guide was not well spoken, hard to understand. Also no dumplings and no drink. I bought him a beer, the HSBC building was shown as a highlight. It's was a very very sweaty experience with loads of streets walked. Too many, but the plus side I got to see the expats all drinking and having a nice dinner, after the tour I went back at 10pm and had dinner... plus side I lost weight

Terrible experience with liars - I was totally pissed off, the host did not show up, I asked for a refund and he lied to the customer service by saying he was there. I have evidences and no way I'm going to tolerate with that. I will take whatever it takes to get a refund. DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. TOTALLY A WAST OF YOUR TIME AND WILL PISS YOU OFF.
