Convene with your guide and group at a designated meeting point in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong. Begin the tour with a dim sum breakfast at a nearly 100-year-old teahouse. Then continue to a family-run, Michelin-recommended restaurant to sample wonton noodles accompanied by milk tea—a culinary relic of Britain’s colonial rule. Following a ride on the famous Ding Ding Tram (at your own expense), you’ll sample char sui (roasted meat) before satisfying your sweet tooth with dan tat (egg tart) from a 60-year-old bakery. Throughout the tour, peek into local tea shops, a family-run soy sauce producer, dried seafood and medicine shops, and the city’s oldest wet market. The tour concludes at your final stop.

    A fantastic experience . Authentic and informative . Highly recommend
    Sinclair was an above and beyond great tour guide. Very knowledgeable, showed us spots we would have likely not ventured into as tourist. Showed us the “traditional way” to eat and experience food in HK. As a bonus he was a phenomenal photographer and took many priceless photos throughout our tour

    Great Tour!
    Alex was a fantastic host as we toured Kowloon. As there were only two of us, he allowed us to add or subtract destinations as we wanted. The food was great, the history lesson was interesting, and the company exquisite.

    Great food and cultural sights with a great guide Alex.
    Alex was an excellent and informed guide, who took us to many interesting cultural places, markets and restaurants. A good variety of different foods was provided, as well as beer, tea and other drinks. We deliberately skipped breakfast and lunch to save ourselves for the trip, and were full before the end!

    Great Tour! Amazing way to see Hong Kong
    The food on this tour was amazing! Sinclair, our tour guide, was knowledgable and a lot of fun! He knew a lot about the food culture in Hong Kong and took us to a couple locations that we’d definitely return to should we come back to Hong Kong. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to visit Hong Kong! Sincerely, Felix, Lucas & Jorg!

    Gives a flavour of the real Hong Kong
    The guide was extremely knowledgeable, providing constant stream of information. The views from the peak were stunning in all directions Using public transport made us feel part of the city, and the detailed tours of the various markets was both fascinating and eye opening about the local culture. Lunch at a real non touristic restaurant was a real insight into local life

    FUN
    Very interesting. Showed the more realistic view of Hong Kong. The food was terrific. I especially liked the Hofan noodles and also the bean curd and soy drink. Our guide, Alex was great. I walk with a cane so am a bit slow. I literally was holding everyone up but Alex was very patient and solicitous with me. I really appreciate that.

    Do not miss your chance to take this tour! Alex was so amazing as a tour guide. He's one of the best! We learned so much about Hong Kong culture. I already knew I loved it here, but now I love it even more. The food was an excellent variety of dishes we would otherwise never think to try. He took us where the locals go. He was so patient and kind with all our questions. Everything went as smoothly as possible. Take this tour!

    Best food and walking tour in Hong Kong !!
    We had the best time with Sinclair on our private food/walking tour! We met at Hong Kong Station and were whisked away to some incredible food! The first dim sum house was such a fun experience and we had the most amazing custard ball and fried BBQ pork bun. Our favorite stop was the BBQ pork and noodles - so delicious! We had several other food stops and we were completely full even before we finished all the stops ! We also learned a bunch about the neighborhoods we went through, visited Man Mo temple, and took the Star Ferry across the bay to Kowloon. Sinclair was a great guide, so informative, and definitely brought us to the best food we could have imagined! It was such a breeze booking with Hello Hong Kong too. I highly recommend this tour and will be telling everyone I know coming to Hong Kong to book!

    a passionate guide tour
    It was a passionate guide tour. I was impressed by Alex's kind and diverse explanation. I highly recommend it to others. The guide tour did not appear on the Korean homepage, so I used the English homepage. So I became the first Korean tour applicant.

    Just Do It!
    Excellent food and cultural tour I would highly recommend. Mel was very knowledgeable about the food and history of the area. Having lived previously in HK I learned a lot of new information. The food was good and Mel was great company and easy to get along with. We booked directly with the company and communication with Mel was easy. The light show at the end was a great end to the tour. Thank you for a great experience.

    Fabulous Tour, amazing food, Alex was great
    Alex with our host and he was very kind to share his passion for food, culture, and history with us. It was so awesome to explore a new part of Hong Kong, with someone who is so knowledgeable and able to explain life in Hong Kong. The food was outstanding. Authentic street food that was so tasty and I would’ve never have thought to try and find myself. I loved it

It was a wonderful tour through HK restaurants, which you would probably never had entered as a tourist. A great opener to Cantonese kitchen. I recommend to join this tour at the beginning of a trip to HK, so one may deepen the experience by him/herself afterwards. Besides we strolled through some typical dried seafood, medicine and tea shops among others with lots of explanations by our tourguide.

Alex was a great host, the 4 hours flew by. Not only did we try a great variety of different foods, we learned about the history of Hong Kong covering religion, housing, the markets and so much more.
Would highly recommend this tour to travellers visiting Hong Kong…. Take an umbrella!

This was an excellent tour. A great mix of local restaurants, and lots of information about local food culture and also some British influenced food. The length of the tour was good (approx 4 hours from start to finish) and the knowledge of the guide (Mel) was excellent. I would definitely do this again, and have recommended to friends.

Good early morning food tour throughout Hong Kong island. Our tour guide Ivy was engaging and knowledgeable as a local. The tour was curated a bit for Western tastes, which was good for us. Highlight was the Chinese tea house which was packed and full of energy at 9:30AM. Would definitely recommend this tour to someone not sure where to start in the Hong Kong food scene.

Amazing tour and guide! This tour is a must while In HongKong! Our tourguide Ivy was amazing and combine the history and culture with the culinary experience in an excellent way. We started with a traditional place where the Cantonese breakfast was incredibly delicious ( highly recommended the rolls rice steamed noodles with beef) however the whole experience was amazing ( the wonton soup place- the pork bbk - the milk tea… the egg tarte)
Ivy is so nice and always tell us so wonderful stories behind each place.
I ve been 3rd time with Hello HongKong and each time they excelled!
Thank you

This was definitely the most extensive food tour I have been on. We tried so much delicious food and also got to learn about the history and culture of Hong Kong! Mel was a great guide, and he really went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great experience. Not to mention basically every stop was Michelin recommended… Cannot recommend this tour enough!

A great way to experience the cultural and culinary delights of Hong Kong. Ivy our tour guide was fantastic, she was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and the food we tried. She took us to some amazing restaurants, that we’d never have been brave enough to try without her expertise. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she made sure we were well looked after. A great way to explore Hong Kong and while away a morning. Would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Ivy.
