A Magical Evening in Hong Kong: City Tour in Hong Kong - 11813ba6966f9c5fedf432d8027ec053

Hong Kong shines under a different light at night, and it's worth exploring it on a private city tour. Get ready to discover the city's authentic evening state because the locals and the main highlights come out to play as the sun sets.

As the soft evening light falls across the city's sights, follow your local host to discover Pedder bulding, PMQ, and other major spots. Your host will point out some of the details you might have missed in each stop as they reveal themselves during the evening lights and around a less touristy crowd. With the main highlights of Hong Kong illuminated, your perspective of the city will be different as it was during the day.

Take advantage of the cooler, calmer evening and discover where the locals gather to unwind. And just because your tour ends doesn't mean your night does too. Keep it going with local recommendations of where to go in Hong Kong at night. Enjoy some dumplings before saying goodbye to your host and enjoy the rest of your night in Hong Kong like a local.

The local hosts are natural storytellers, each one with a different background ranging from arts to history. They can't wait to share some of their unique stories and personal anecdotes with you! Feel like changing the route a bit? No problem, the hosts will be happy to personalize the tour to your wishes and make their city your city!

Cosmo is sweet, caring and provided a great tour experience for my colleague and I. We’ve been to HK several times, but never had a chance to explore. He shared insights about the city and tips on how to navigate like a local. We really enjoyed our evening and thank Cosmo for a great time! Carefree with Cosmo!

Matteo was a fantastic tour guide and knew the ins and outs of Hong Kong. We have lived here for two years but never knew the history behind so many of the places we regularly pass by. He has helped us appreciate a whole new side of Hong Kong and its turbulent history juxtapose with the values and unity of Taoism. Fantastic tour guide

we had one night in hong kong and wanted to hit the highlights. Mateo was able to meet up with us at a convenient station and we were off running. He was able to customize the tour a little more so we could see more of the city in the the time allowed. It was great getting his perspective on the evolution of Hong Kong over the last 20 years. great experience overall - and great dumplings!Just what we were looking for

Yin was very gracious and knowledgeable but I was a bit disappointed when I had to remind her of what our tour entailed. I reminded her that our tour was supposed to include a visit to a family owned dumpling restaurant and the return ferry to end our tour. The restaurant was closed and she was very kind to return with us to the Kowloon side after our tour. Other than this oversight, the tour was fine.Evening With Yin

After some crazy challenges related to our travel to Hong Kong, Wing Wing proved to be very accommodating. We had limited time and wanted to get the most out of our quick trip. We really got a good taste of how the old and new have come to coexist and would have struggled to to find some of the unique finds on our own.Very accommodating

Great evening with Matteo. We were a group of 6 and Matteo had his hands full trying to keep everyone together! He has a good sense of humour and we had a really enjoyable night. We found some great bars to go to for the next day, tried some dumplings which we had never had before, and at the end of the evening Matteo found us a good spot to enjoy the light show at the pier. Would definately recommend Matteo as your host.Great night seeing the sights of Hong Kong

My first visit to vibrant Hong Kong. I had a great time w Deepti who took me on a magical mystery tour of Soho, the Cat Street market, a secret hole in the wall for a dumpling snack, PMQ, the nearby temple and during the tour provided me w the history and background on the areas we visited. We then caught the Star Ferry back to Kowloon and walked along the harbour foreshore to see the harbour lights. I thoroughly recommend Deepti as an experienced and knowledgeable tour host.A wonderful introduction to Hong Kong

Given that it was Matteo’s Theis tour that day, he was a bit exhausted - perfect for me, as I didn’t need a running commentary. I just wanted someone to show me around a bit and be ready to answer questions, which he did very well. We covered a lot of ground and he gave me a good framework to explore further the next day.Nice guy, who knows a lot

We had so much fun with Matteo! We will remember Matteo as being very vivid and passionated as hè talked during our downtown tour in Kownloon. Despite not being a native Hong-Kong resident, Matteo really knows a lot about Hong-Kong and can tell you all about the city. He is able to customise the tour during the tour, which we really enjoyed. We certainly recommend Matteo as your local guide in Hong-Kong. Kownloon tour with Matteo

It’s our first time in Hong Kong and we realized we would miss so much if we just wandered around on our own. So we booked a night tour and a day tour with Matteo. We did Kowloon by night and Central by day and both tours were great! We would never have dared experience Kowloon so intimately on our own, and to get some information on each neighborhood is very valuable. Even though we lived in Central we had walked passed some very interesting sights without knowing it, that’s why it’s so great to have a local guide. Matteo is a wonderful guide and we highly recommend to book a tour with him! Awesome tour experience

Wing took us to an amazing tour around Hong Kong, she told us about some history and interesting facts about her town always adding a nice environment. She is perfect by planning any request, I asked her to take us to a nice vegetarian dinner for my bf´s birthday and we all were amazed with her choice and the dishes she helped us to ask for. After a month, at the end of my trip i was at the airport and i had some troubles, i had to ask some help to Wing and she did not hesitate to help me out, she was very supportive and she went there as soon as she could to help me, so Wing is not only a nice and smart touristic guide, she is also a good friend!!! She is amazing, smart and a good friend!!

I was solo traveling in HK and decided to take the evening tour with Deepti, turned out to be one of my best evenings in Hong Kong. She was kind enough to adjust her time and date according to my schedule. During our tour, apart from showing me around the night-life of HK, Deepti and I also spoke in length about classical Indian music, our favorite sufi singer Nusrat, my life in Bombay and hers in HK. It was so much fun to meet someone far away from home and connected so well. She treated me with some fabulous coffee at Coffee Academics. Probably, we were meant to meet, and we decided when she comes to Bombay, I am going to take her to Taj Mahal Tea House :) DeepaliAbsolutely loved my time with Deepti in HK

It was a great time with Wing! She told us a lot about Hong Kong, from history, cultural, trends to movies. I have been to Hong Kong many times. Last time I travel with my family, and Wing showed us many difference things about Hong Kong. We lived in Kowloon many times, but it was the first time to experience the local lifestyle. We could really be like a local and I can tell my friends many stories about Hong Kong!I would love to meet her again when I visit Hong Kong again, and can't wait to find out more.Hong Kong by Night

Without the help of Wing Wing, my experience in HK would have never been as versatile and intense as it was. She showed me some delicious local Cantonese food which you would never find in guide books and the taste is beyond expectations. While strolling through HK,she told us very interesting and fun facts about HK which makes the trip even more pleasant. Apart from that, Wing Wing is a very outgoing, happy and extreme friendly person who enjoys meeting new friends and sharing life experiences. This trip HK couldn’t have been better and I definitely refer to „Withlocals“ again for my further trips. Hong Kong by Night

Having lived in and actively explored Hong Kong for nearly two decades, Deepti knows the city like only a local would. She has an impressive multidimensional knowledge of Hong Kong: the modern metropolis, the traditional city, the lush countryside. A hiking aficionado, she has shown me some of Hong Kong's most fascinating trails, going far beyond the typical guidebook recommendations. Always keen on a long walk, Deepti effortlessly navigates lesser-known parts of the city, showing you the city behind the skyscrapers. Boundless energy and expertise make Deepti an excellent guide. There was such a great energy throughout the tour!

Ronnie (Sum Pui) was very thorough and knowledgeable about the history of Hong Kong island, focussed on the areas around Sheung Wan and Soho. We thoroughly enjoyed the explanations around the many stores selling fish products, the history of the 'ding ding', the traditions of yum cha (which we took part in) and the crossover between British colonial influence and Chinese history. Ronnie was very generous with his time and no time did we feel rushed. This did feel like a tour with a local and not what you would get on a tour bus.Sum Pui the enthusiast!!

Sherman was an amazing guide for our tour of Kowloon. We wanted to learn more about and visit neighborhoods outside of Hong Kong Island and the harbor, and couldn't have asked for a better guide for that. She grew up in Kowloon, so was able to not just share things about history, culture, and architecture, but also point out things from her childhood and share personal stories related to things we were learning. Aside from having great local knowledge, she was friendly, funny, and clearly really excited to share Hong Kong with us. She also gave us lots of good recommendations. I would 100% recommend anyone going to Hong Kong book a tour with her, and I'll definitely be looking to do more tours with her next time I'm in Hong Kong! Amazing local knowledge
