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!!

(About local Lok Yan)

24 February 2025

I hired tour guides during my many foreign tours. This time around, returning to visit HK, where I was born, I wanted a different experience. I wanted to see HK through another perspective. My wonderful guide Lok Yan did just that. I believe we were both surprised and bewildered by some of the gems of HK. That could have been due to the fact that I was not one of the typical tourist looking to visit some of the FAMOUS attractions. That's not an easy task for the tour guide. The interactions enriched, grew and enriched my appreciation and admiration of this unique piece of land and its culture. Yan's attributes made it happened. To say friendly and warm would be an understatement. I feel totally comfortable with her throughout the entire abrieviated tour. I am convinced that I made the right choice in hiring Lok Yan. If the weather was warmer and I possessed more energy I would have given my rating a 10. An X-Local guided by a Local

I had a wonderful 3 hour tour with Angel. As a solo female traveler I only had one night in Hong Kong and this was definitely the best way to experience as much as possible in a short time. Angel took me to a great local Dim Sum restaurant, the food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed going to the temple. We walked around the city with Angel giving me lots of interesting information. Angel was lots of fun and friendly. Thank you so much 🙏Fabulous tour.

Angel was the perfect guide, giving us a great overview of the geography, culture, and of course, food of Hong Kong. She also gave us some spot on recommendations on places to eat and points of interest we might enjoy after the tour. As a local, she was able to make the best of the short time we had with her - she really knows her way around and has great contacts all over the city. We weren’t in Hong Kong long, but felt we received an amazing intro, and are excited to return and explore some more!Amazing Intro to Hong Kong

Sum Pui is a great guide very talkative, fun and well informed. I loved the trip though Kowloon, the ride with the tram. He took extra time, he adjusted the programme to show me the Tai Kwun. He took me to the pier to make sure I get the boat correctly. Thanks for everything.Go for it!

My wife and I had a terrific evening with Matteo. We explored Hong Kong and saw places we never would have seen (or realized their meaning) if we didn’t take the tour. We only had 1 full day in Hong Kong and this was a great way to get the feel of the city. We appreciated Matteo’s story telling and familiarity with the locals Great Hong Kong Experience

Made us taste great local food! We fall in love with Hongkong through her eyes and through our stomachs! During the trip my boyfriend lost his phone in taxi, she offered adequate help and assistance! She helped us with additional reservations in the evening. Very great and professional guide!I am highly recommending Angel to be guide

Sum is one of the best tour guide I had on a trip. I think doing this tour is a must when in Hong Kong. We often tend to just want to get as many tourist spots as possible, but without appreciating the details and history of a place. Sum lets you immerse Hong Kong in its very core and I appreciate how much time we have spent which is worth every minute of this tour. There is no dull moment, but he also does not rush you into seeing all the sights as well. He has a good sense of humor, and a good command of the english language. Another good detail is that he really gets to know the person he is with, the nationality, and culture which is a good touch in my opinion. I’ll book him again when we get back to Hong Kong. A must when in Hong Kong!

He was very informative, sharing history, culture, and personal stories that added so much to our tour. We’re very happy that we chose to take this tour and that Sum Pui was our guide.

Hace ya casi 3 meses desde que volvimos de nuestro viaje, y ayer de repente me vino un recuerdo de Hong Kong que me hizo sonreír. Pensé en un estupendo desayuno de dim sum tradicional al que nos llevó Angel, en un edificio que jamás habríamos encontrado nosotros solos. Mesas repletas de gente, carritos llenos de platos deliciosos a los que Angel perseguía para conseguirnos los bocados imprescindibles que probar, el ruido, el ambiente, gente por todas partes, y mientras disfrutábamos de cada bocado, ella nos iba explicando las tradiciones locales y asegurándose que nuestra hija de 4 años (de mal humor por el calor de la ciudad en pleno Agosto) estuviera contenta. Y recordé que todavía no había escrito una review por su estupendo trabajo. Nos sentimos muy cómodos con ella, como si estuviéramos hablando con una amiga que nos explicaba todos los secretos y costumbres de su cultura. Hicimos dos tours con ella, el de mercados nocturnos y snacks, y el de lugares emblemáticos y gemas ocultas, que modificó según nuestros gustos y preferencia, teniendo en cuenta que viajábamos con nuestra hija. Poder contar con el conocimiento de alguien nacido y criado en Hong Kong, te hace ver y entender la ciudad de una manera. Desde luego sin ella nuestros días en Hong Kong no hubieran sido ni la mitad de buenos, ya que es muy diferente pasear entre altos edificios que todos te parecen igual, a poder entender lo que estás viendo en cada momento. Mil gracias Angel! Y gracias por aguantar el mal humor de nuestra hija jejejeDía estupendo en Hong Kong!

Wing Wing, our fantastic tour guide, took us on an incredible walking tour of Hong Kong. We saw everything from ancient temples to modern skyscrapers, and learned so many interesting facts along the way. Wing Wing knows everything about Hong Kong. She showed us hidden gems, as well as the Instagram hit spots and recommended delicious local food, and even told us about her mother and her old sayings and beliefs. We visited an ancient temple, a fascinating souvenir shop, walked through markets, and got to experience the city's vibrant culture first-hand. The walking tour was pretty tiring, but it was totally worth it. Wing Wing's enthusiasm was contagious, and she made the whole experience so much fun. If you're planning a trip to Hong Kong, I highly recommend booking a tour with Wing Wing. She's the best!Wing Wing: Amazing Hong Kong Tour Guide!

If you’re looking for a tour guide that feels like grabbing coffee with a friend, look no further - thats exactly what Angels tour felt like. Not only is she kind, open and easy going, she’s truly a local and we learned a lot of cultural and historical facts during our tour with her. Besides seeing some known spots, she helped us find fresh ingredients for Hot Pot to bring home. Thank you again Angel for this amazing tour! It was truly one of our most favorite things during our trip to HK. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to do a walking tour.

We booked Matteo based upon his other reviews, which were very positive. Perhaps we had Matteo on an "off day", but our experience was underwhelming. Our tour seemed to drift and was based more upon Matteo's low fitness level (and his desire to conserve energy for other tours) than a true plan. While we did learn some interesting things, we didn't get the locals experience that we were seeking. Unsatisfying tour

We visited the Man Mo temple and traditional markets as well as popping into new museums. Cosmo answered lots of our questions about getting around Hong Kong. We saw lots we would probably not have noticed in our own. Well worth doing on day 1 of your trip. Cosmo paced the walking well and we got breaks from the heat going into air con museums. Highly recommend Great walking tour

the walk through the city was great. Matteo could tell a lot of different stores about the history of Hongkong, the shops, the Tao-temple etc. He is enthousiastic in his descriptions. One point of critics: instead of treating us on a snack or logcal drink. He invited himself during the diner I had with my wife. Don't do that in the future to otter people anymore. it was a little bit werd.The citywalk was great.

Matteo è stato una guida competente e professionale. Molto puntuale . Ci ha spiegato lo stile di vita degli abitanti di Hong Kong, ci ha accompagnato in viuzze nascoste dove , da soli , ci saremmo sicuramente persi . Ci ha spiegato la religione portandoci in un tempio taoista. Infine abbiamo visitato la zona di Tai Kwun . Consiglio Sicuramente! Giro orientativo di Hong Kong island

I had a really great time on my walking tour with Wing Wing who did an awesome job at showing me the sights of central Hong Kong, whilst making it really interesting and super fun. I loved trying wonton soup which was delicious and Wing Wing’s help finding a small jade souvenir to take back to NZ for my teenage children, who were thrilled. If you have any time, I 100% recommend you contact Wing Wing and organising something. Wing Wing was awesome

It was our first time in HongKong and we visited it as a stopover for 2 days. As time was short, we decided to take a guide to get a quick overview on the city. So we arranged with Sum Pui. We had a very intersting, informative and entertaining introduction of HongKong. Sum Pui created a really personal tour and even started with a lunch at a traditional DimSum Restaurant where he invited us to show his culture. We had a really pleasant walk through the city and got a lot of information … also where to go after the tour and how to arrange it the best way. Sum Pui was always helpful even the time after the tour, when we had some questions where to go or find something special in HongKong. We strongly recommend SumPui as your guide to HongKong and don’t regret our decision. Thanks SumPui !
