We hired Matteo for two tours, one food oriented and other discovering the back streets of Hong Kong! Both were brilliant, Matteo knows every square inch, is so knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. We tried so many different types of food, totally delicious!
We really enjoyed spending time with him! You cannot do better!

We had a 6 hour tour with Matteo in the beautiful city of Hong Kong. And although 6 hours is not a lot of time, Matteo did a masterful job of showing us many of the highlights of the city. Having lived in the city for 27 years, he was very informative with the major points of the city and many of the lesser known bits of information. If you're going to be visiting Hong Kong any time soon, I highly recommend asking Matteo to be your guide! An afternoon in Hong Kong

I had a fantastic day exploring the sights of HK with Angel who was an amazing tour guide. It was very easy to chat with her which made me feel that I was exploring the city with a friend instead of being on a guided tour. I really appreciated hearing about her experiences growing up and living in HK, and would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a different experience from the usual, run-of-the-mill tours.
Thanks Angel, for the memorable day tour. It was a great way to end off 2024! Great tour of HK with Angel!

Angel hat uns bei unserer 6 Stunden Tour durch Hong Kong absolut begeistert. Normalerweise gibt es von uns nur kurze Rezessionen, aber Sie hat sich einfach das ein oder andere Wort mehr verdient.
Angel Art und Weise fanden wir großartig. Sie liebt IHR Hong Kong wo Sie in Kowloon aufgewachsen ist und nun auf Hong Kong Island wohnt.
Sie hat es geschafft uns das tägliche Leben in Hong Kong näher zu bringen. Das kleine 1x1 rund um den Öffentlichen Nahverkehr erklärt und uns dazu noch mit Ihrem Wissen über die Geschichte Hong Kongs begeistert. Das alles ist Ihr gelungen, ohne uns dabei zu langweilen. Oft kommt es vor, dass ein Guide historisches Wissen teilt und man irgendwann einfach abschaltet. Angel schafft es, das historische mit dem aktuellen zu verbinden und daher interessant zu machen.
Wir haben mit Ihr nicht nur Hong Kong erkundet, Sie hat mit uns zusätzlich auch noch das Lieblingsteehaus Ihrer Großmutter besucht und den kompletten Aufenthalt dort organisiert. Außerdem waren wir in einem Stadtteil Hong Kongs, den Reisende normalerweise nicht zu sehen bekommen und haben dort Hong Kong Milktea und Pineapple Bun gegessen.
Alles nach dem Motto: "das hier bekommen Reisende zu sehen weil Sie es sehen wollen, nicht Touristen"
Alles in allem hat Angel unsere Erwartungen übertroffen, vor allem auch, als Sie uns nach unserer Heimat gefragt hat und wir zusätzlich zu unserer Tour noch fast 30Minuten zusammen saßen.
1A wir können und möchten Angel jedem als Tour Guide empfehlen!
authentisch, enthusiastisch, engagiert

Angel is extremely friendly and gave us a wonderful morning in Hong Kong. We got a lot of information about HK and saw places we probably wouldn't have seen on our own.
She even picked us up from our hotel on request. The only downside is that the tour only lasted 4.5 hours instead of the 6 hours we had booked. However, after a quick tip, Angel was immediately ready to continue with us.A wonderful day with Angel

Con Cosmos pudimos experimentar la vida cotidiana en Hong Kong conociendo la vida de las personas en los barrios perimetrales de la cuidad.
Al ser domingo pudimos ver que hacen las personas en su día libre de trabajo.
Tuvimos además conversaciones muy enriquecedoras de cómo ver la vida y nos contó todas sus experiencias lo cual fue muy agradable compartir con el.
Visiones para tener en cuenta seguramente!!!
Fue muy amable, simpático y agradable.
También practicó su español con nosotros ya que hacía tiempo que no lo hacía pero nos divertimos mucho con él !!!
Gracias Cosmos

Nous avons eu le plaisir de découvrir Hong Kong sous la conduite de COSMO, un guide exceptionnel qui a su parfaitement répondre à nos attentes. Il a fait preuve d'une grande flexibilité en adaptant le programme à notre rythme, tout en veillant à ce que nous puissions profiter pleinement de chaque visite. Son approche est à la fois discrète et bienveillante, offrant un encadrement paisible qui permet de savourer l'expérience sans pression. Par ailleurs, la connaissance approfondie qu’il a de sa ville se ressent à chaque explication, et il partage ses anecdotes avec passion et précision. COSMO est un guide que nous recommandons sans hésitation pour tous ceux qui souhaitent une découverte enrichissante et sur-mesure de Hong Kong.Une journée avec COSMO

Our day with Angel was brilliant. She's a gem of a guide - friendly, easy to chat with, and really knows her stuff.
What I appreciated most was how Angel made us feel at home in a city that can be a bit overwhelming at first. By the end of the tour, I felt like I'd spent the day with a knowledgeable friend rather than a guide. The dim sum breakfast was an absolute highlight.
Highly recommended.

Matteo did an outstanding job considering he had to work around our evening street food tour. Not only did we experience the must see tourist list items and rides on the ferry and trams, but also some places more off the beaten track which was exactly what we love. The whole time accompanied by Matteo's combination of historical and personal knowledge adding great colour to the tour An interesting tour of HK sights

Can absolutely recommend this tour with Angel. We did a private tour which she catered to our interests, in particular to properly understand HK’s past, present and future. We sampled some delicious food (wife cant stop talking about the milk tea 😊) and we visited some important institutions of HK’s past. Highlights included visiting community housing project in Wan Chai and the first public housing built in Sham Shui Po.
Angel is smart, very well humored and kind. There’s no bigger endorsement I can give other than to say Angel’s good company was like having a good friend show you the city. A fascinating, rewarding trip that truly completed our understanding of HK and its people.
Thanks so much Angel!
Like having a friend show you HK

Angel was an amazing host!! Even though my flight was delayed she was very accommodating and flexible. She took me around the city, explained the history and the culture along with her own experiences which made the tour so unique! I really loved the local cuisine which we tried. She knows the perfect shops to take you shopping! Even the though the Victoria peak was not on the itinerary she was kind enough to accommodate it for me! Overall I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Angel as a host to anyone visiting Hong Kong :) Must go tour for anyone visiting HongKong!

Cosmo is amazing. He is friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and generally a positive happy person. We went on a tour with Cosmo and glad we did it. I was born in HK and Cosmo brought me to places that I have never been to and talked about history that I knew nothing about.
Our time with Cosmo was pleasant, relaxing and exciting. Also, Cosmo takes good pictures. We are so glad that we went on a tour with Cosmo.
Cosmo - thank you for doing a great job. We will meet again next time.

We were with Kate for two excursions. The first day we toured Hong Kong Island and to finish we went over on the Star ferry to Kowloon. Kate had met us at hour hotel so it was an easy introduction to Hong Kong. She tailored the trip to suit us and we had a good day. The second excursion was to the island where Kate lives, Lantau. Kate was very easy going and took us to places that we wouldn't have seen had we been touring on our own. She made our trip much more enjoyable and stress free. We could concentrate on seeing and doing the things we wanted to do without worrying about where we had to go next. We really enjoyed our time in Hong Kong with Kate and thought the trips were very worthwhile.Kate made everything so easy

Ewa was great! She was in communication leading up to the trip and was always available and willing to answer questions as we prepared for visiting Hong Kong.
The Walking Tour was excellent because we covered a lot of different areas of HKG, off the beaten path! Ewa was very knowledgeable about the history, culture and architecture.
Lunch was delightful, very unique, excellent food and overall great dining experience.
We visited during the unrest and Ewa kept us informed of what was going on and we had no issues during the tour. I had complete confidence and trust in her as we navigated the subway and ferries.
I would highly recommend going on a tour with Ewa, she was delightful!Hong Kong Walking Tour

after a slightly delayed start Edward was very flexible in meeting us at our hotel so we didn't get lost on transport, showed us how to navigate the HK subway (great subway!!) and showed us exactly what we wanted in the local and international character of HK including historical, especially appreciative of the lunch venue selection (who knew you could get such a dining experience at those kind of places), listened to what we thought we wanted ans then made good choices in where we went giving us such consideration as we needed, a great introduction to using 'withlocals' services which we would thoroughly recommendgreat personalised tour of HK with Edward, cheers Ed
