Amazing introduction to Hong Kong via food and history - This was a fantastic introduction to Hong Kong for a solo traveller and for my first time visiting. Michael was an amazing guide and we tried lots of very tasty local treats. It was the perfect balance between food, history and culture and the perfect way to start my trip. Very highly recommended!

Great Walking Tour with SP - SP was our tour guide for the day - no one else came along so we felt like we got a terrific private tour of Hong Kong side - he was very knowledgeable, friendly and shared many facts about the city as well as his personal experience. Highly recommend to everyone - tourists or locals!

Best tour I ever went on - First we were lucky that we were the only two people who showed - and that the tour did not get cancelled (they will be for a period due til the Coronavirus). Then we were lucky to have Shirley as our guide! She might be young, but she has a really good knowledge about HK, the history, the protest and the way of life and an exellent ability to make her stories come alive and make them relevant for us. Also she answered all my questions readily. It is not your usual highlight tour, even though they were included, but a tour that gave us so much more. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

An excellent tour. - SP was a considerate , interesting and knowledgeable guide. His introduction explained the political history of the island which gave a better understanding before we visited some of the buildings and then he also drew our attention to their architectural designs. All this was new information to most of us and something we wouldn’t have realised just by walking around by ourselves. We learnt a lot in an enjoyable way.

Great tour - Thanks SP for a great, informative tour. Good thing to do if you're new to Hong Kong and want to learn a little bit about the politics from a locals perspective. Not a sightseeing tour, but still very interesting.
