Our guide was Mel, a very patient man who knew the area perfectly and spoke excellent English. We've been to HK before, but Mel opened our eyes to the wonders that can be lying just off the beaten path or around the corner from the familiar. Besides showing us the best markets for shopping like Fok Wing market and Pekho Street market (no tourist trap markets like Temple Street, these are the real deal), we had an absolutely amazing time trying the local dishes that have won either a Michelin star or other awards for the best in the world. Our favorites included the rice rolls at Hop Yik Tai, and the dumplings made in front of you at Yuen Fong by a sweet old lady. I could go on and on, but you just have to experience it for yourself. Mel also told us about HK in general, opened our eyes to the culture and the struggles they face, and explained life from their point of view for different providences. It was a very, very enlightening tour and I recommend it to no end. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
