Terry, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and articulate, and without exaggeration or sensationalism gave us a devastating portrayal of the economic situation of the less privileged segments of Hong Kong's population. This is a tour you absolutely shouldn't miss, and it made my stay in Hong Kong meaningful in a way I hadn't anticipated.

We spent a week in Hong Kong and after visiting some of the most beautiful parts, including the the nunnery and the lotus gardens, the big Buddha and so on we decided that it was time to see how the real locals lived.
We met at a metro stop in the area and were left at the same stop about three hours later.
Arnie was a very special guide who had the plight of the people living in this area very much at heart.
Among other things he took us to some of the houses were entire families live in one room flats or where rooms have been divided into four cages..,each for one person to sleep in.
He explained to us that the people of Hong Kong are too proud to live and beg on the streets and even that theft is not in their life style although once they have paid their extortionate rents they have little money for food.
This tour was a real eye opener for us and for all those people who believe that the locals in Hong Kong have got it made.
Arnie was very well informed and also gave us a lot of social and political background to the situation in the poorer parts of the city.
The contrast between this and the glamour that can be seen in other parts of the city is very unsettling.
In conclusion, if you are visiting Hong Kong this tour is a must (otherwise you haven't seen the city).
I would recommend this tour to everybody who is passing through.
