Cosmo was an excellent tour guide, he was very informative of local life and surroundings in Hong Kong. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience of walking the streets of Kowloon and trying local food tastings. Personal favourites were the coconut milk and baked cheesecake! Cosmo is very kind and patient, we never felt rushed while looking through the different markets. The tour allowed us to see interesting local areas which we were able to come back to later on in our trip. Thanks Cosmo! Excellent Night Market Tour with Cosmo

Street food was delicious and He listened my food preferences and showed places I wouldn´t find by myself. We also shared same kind of humour, so it was fun too.

Took the personal guided tour with Matteo. He was great. Asked us what our preferences were, then proceeded to take us to a whole bunch of places that suited our interests and tastes. Tour included numerous stops at eateries and shops that we would have never found or even if we did find, would not have been brave enough to venture into on our own. Matteo explained the history behind many of the sights and shared his personal experiences with living in Hong Kong. Memorable tour, would definitely recommend.Hidden gems of Hong Kong

What a great tour! Angel was able to provide some great food alternatives to accommodate my allergy, and showed me around some great markets. She shared a lot of funny stories and things about her experiences growing up in Hong Kong. I can't recommend her enough, I didn't want the tour to end! The best part of my trip!

We did the night market tour with Cosmo. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and his English was very good. He answered all my questions and even told us about his life and how he grew up in Hong Kong and where he’s traveled. We walked around the flower market, Ladies market and took the tram to the Temple Street night market. We sampled 4 street food items and 1 drink. We didn’t leave overly full which was ideal and we saw some areas we never knew existed. Cosmo even made sure our Uber picked us up before leaving us. Would definitely book again with Cosmo and recommend him for tours around Hong Kong Great tour with Cosmo

Ronnie was outstanding, picked me up from my hotel, showed me around the tourist spots and gave a good deal of history and tips from both a traditional viewpoint and also a younger generation viewpoint. We then ventured to a locals food market off the beaten track. Well worth it was a true locals experience with plenty of food and good humour. Excellent locals experience

Matteo seemed knowledgeable about the area we walked through and greeted people as we went. He is friendly and shares many details about his personal life. If you like shopping he will take you to places where you can purchase souvenirs and other knickknacks, but don't feel pressured to buy anything. We had more than 5 tastings, but since I did the tour by myself it was still pretty expensive for that amount. I would have liked more information about the food we ate and possibly a different drink other than beer.Not worth the price

‏I’ve grown up watching Anthony Bourdain TV shows, one thing I’ve always loved about them is having the right tour guides/ fixers. The people that come on his show don’t only speak about food, history, and culture (like your typical tour guide). They go beyond and chat about life, love, and memories of some childhood iconic moments and the architectural memories of certain neighborhoods. It’s like chatting to an old friend. Our tour with Angel (AKA Durian) felt the same. She is fun, soulful and full of life. She also has great taste in food! Note: we call her Durian because she loves the fruit, which is a must to try when you are in Hong Kong or in South East Asia.Life of a Hong Konger

Emcee was very flexible with our limited time in Hong Kong, and gave us a great overview of a number of different food spots we never would have found on our own. She also provided us with a number of great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Hong Kong. We cannot recommend Emcee enough!Excellent Tastings Tour with Emcee!

My family and I had a great tour, Angel is friendly and her knowledge of Hong Kong and the Mongkok area is second to none. Angel was able to guide us through the area, explain where we were and the history of the area and answer any questions we had on the topic of Hong Kong in general. We tried foods at places we'd have never known about before and gave us information on places to try through the rest of our trip. My 8yo daughter especially took a liking to Angel commented on how friendly Angel was and how Angel could be her teacher at school. Loved every minute of this tour, would do it again in a heartbeat.Fantastic experience

I booked the tour „Taste of Hongkong“ with street-market and street food experience and my guide was Wing Wing. I had a really good time and so nice tastings. Even though I had touched the area around Tempel Street before, it gave me a complete new view, so many more details and of course great street foot experience, which I would never had experienced on my own. Strolling through the busy streets with Wing Wing was a real pleasure. She explained the best food, the best spots in the area, and I had a really good time. The task 2 1/2 hour and it felt like it was over in no time, because it was so entertaining and delightful. Apart from that, Wing Wing is a very amiable, knowledgeable and sympathic person, with whom I really liked to spend time. She told me so much about the New Year’s tradition, about Hong Kong, about how to have a good time. Great experience, thank you so much!Valuable Experience „A Taste of Hongkong“

It was a nice experience worth the value paid. Matteo is a nice guy with a lot of anecdotes about the city and it’s nice to learn also how it feels living in Hong Kong from a foreigner who settled here a long time ago. Food was nice but the general atmosphere from the streets was better. Good spots for night photosNice stroll at Temple Market

De trip met cosmo viel ons tegen, er was moeilijk contact met hem te krijgen en pas als wij wat vroeger kwam er uitleg. Erg jammer want er had veel meer in gezeten dan slenteren door Kowloon en hier en daar wat uitleg krijgen. Ook zou het beter zijn als je niet wandelend moet eten maar bij een kraampje zit. Onze ervaring in Georgetown en Kuala Lumpur waren veel positiever. Ipv 2,5 uur. waren we na 1:45 al opweg terug naar ons hotelJammer

We booked "A Taste of Hong Kong: Night Markets & Street Food Tour" with Wing Wing and were not disappointed. She is very kind, it was even possible to start the tour earlier. She showed and explained everything that was possible, we had an amazing time with her - and of course, we ate a lot. :) We were lucky to have her as our guide, especially as she also helped us with bargaining for some souvenirs. Thank you for the tour!Delicious tour with Wing Wing

We had a lovely time with Cosmo. His genuine enthusiasm for food and travel were apparent from the start. In addition to telling us about the food we were eating and markets we were visiting, he gave us lots of interesting background information about the city and culture. After our tour, he even followed up in messages with loads of great recommendations for other places to visit during our trip. Thank you Cosmo!Cosmo is a superstar

We took the Kowloon night market (food) tour on the first day of our visit to Hong Kong, which was absolutely the best time to participate this activity (at least for first time visitors). Edward introduced us to the local markets, lifestyle and foods in an easy-going way, and also gave us some "survival tips" for the rest of our stay. The tour also included a variety of interesting facts and history-knowledge which we definitely would not have learned by ourselves.Amazing tour with a great guide

I had four days in Hong Kong and wanted a local to assist me on a night food tasting tour of the Mong Kok neighborhood. Wing Wing was perfect. We met at 6:30 pm on the Sunday evening of the first huge Hong Kong demonstration against the proposed extradition law. Wing Wing came directly from the demonstration and we spent a good portion of the evening discussing local politics and the mood of Hong Kong residents. This is exactly what I want in a local guide. She ensured the evening a wonderful experience with great conversation and insights. The food we sampled was far from secondary and I felt like a local out for the evening with a friend. We ate like locals do, sampling many things, from stinky tofu to sticky buns to sweet potato soup among other things. We walked through the Ladies Market, passed scores of Philippine housekeepers out for their weekly holiday and ogled groups of pet stores, sneaker stores, clothing stores and restaurants. We talked about Hong Kong history, neighborhoods and present day life. She pointed out favorite restaurants, vibrant neon signage and architecture. We had a blast. I'll be sure to look her up when I return.Wing Wing was awesome

I’ve been in Asia for six months. Getting a deeper understanding requires a local perspective. Emcee was an excellent choice. She was fantastic. Her ability to articulate in both languages made the journey truly joyful and comforting. I asked her how she knew so many people. She didn’t. She was simply so friendly and casual, the waitresses and store owners responded with equal camaraderie. The food tour was incredibly tasty with local dishes that can not be easily found by newcomers. Let Emcee take you into the deep cultural pockets of the city. Smell the tofu sizzling in the clay pots. Taste deep fried milk and be careful, there is a way to eat dim sum if you don’t want to burn your mouth. Emcee and I had a wonderful time. We walked and ate and walked and ate some more. My kind of tour. Walk, Eat, Laugh Repeat

Emcee was a great host, very knowledgeable about the little restaurants and stalls that serve great food but which without her advice you would not try yourself. The tour showed us a side of Hong Kong we would not have seen -night markets, local temples and gardens, chess players with many advisers watching, and so on. Two and half hours well spent and then we had the new year fireworks. What could be better?Great taste of Hong Kong

We had a great evening with Emcee exploring the flower markets, pet street and women’s markets with regular stops at hawker stalls for snacks and local desserts. These are all foods we wouldn’t have tried without being shown and we appreciated the experience of seeing this part of Hong Kong with someone who knows how things work. It was great to chat generally about Hong Kong and Emcee was able to answer quite a few of the questions we had after being in the city already a couple of days. Thanks so much for your hospitality and friendly manner! Great experience with a Hong Kong local
