Great class! Even though I didn’t have a fancy camera Matteo let me use his own Nikon to learn how to change the settings and apply them to night photography. He had some great spot for the monster building and around the area. Thank you again! Happy 500th tour!! Great photo class! 500th!!

At night Hong Kong comes alive with all of the lights, landscapes, and different scenes. Matteo was very knowledgeable about locations to photograph and photography techniques. I highly recommend this tour.Hong Kong at Night Photo Workshop Tour

Matteo showed me a fantastic views of HK of that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own
In addition to imparting very valuable photography tips and tricks, he weaved that together with his very deep knowledge of little known pockets of the city and the fascinating stories behind each location
The tour was a very enlightening experience and his passion for his craft and tales of HK is outstanding

Matteo was one of the best tour guides I have had while on my travels abroad. First of all Matteo was very flexible and modified our meeting time and place for my convience! He knows his stuff and taught me so much on how to finally use my camera, "the right way!" We saw so much of Hong Kong and the time went by so fast. I have a ton of really cool pics and would not have had a clue on how to take them if it weren't for Matteo! He's very professional, personable, funny, very knowledgeable of the island and is a photography and tour aficionado! He truly enjoys what he does and we made fast friends on the tour! Thanks Matteo! I will different be reaching out to him again the next time I come to Hong Kong!

Matteo went above and beyond! Not only did he offer great photography tips he took us to parts of HK we never have found without his help. We loved hearing about life in HK. Not to mention the excellent boiled eggs. Thanks again.Thanks Matteo

I had the opportunity to go to Hong Kong and was looking for a different kind of city tour. I have always wanted to take good night shots of a city and I can across Night Photo Tour.
I truly didn't know what to expect. Matteo was fantastic, his depth of knowledge regarding photography, his passion and his knowledge of Hong Kong made my time in Hong Kong incredible. I now have some great memories captured on film. I learned key points about night photography that I will carry on for the rest of my life. I highly recommend the photo tour with Matteo. Thank you so much Matteo.

Tour with Matteo was great, more than I expected. He was very informative and had great facts and stories about Hong Kong and it´s history. I learned a lot from him. 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. I enjoyed nightmarket & streetfood tour

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

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 spent 3 hours plus with Matteo learning about the history of Hong Kong, walking in areas we would not have discovered on our own. We were impressed with his knowledge as well as his sense of humour.
We would highly recommend Matteo
Thanks Matteo!

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

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

We enjoyed good samples and learned a lot about life in Hong Kong. The tastings were interesting. Matteo gave good advice for future exploration of Hong Kong. We were tired so our pace was slow but he adjusted. Great Night Exploring

This is my second tour with Matteo and I had requested to not repeat locations from our first tour. He was very proactive with suggestions and planned a seamless and stimulating walk where I could experience and capture the energy of the local neighbourhoods, temples and markets.
We covered a lot of ground and I would not been able to see so many sights if I had tried to find them on my own.
He was very knowledgable and shared stories that only a long-time HK resident would know.
The tour was a highlight of my trip and Matteo's expert guiding presents this vibrant city as a gem that deserves many visits and discovery.

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

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

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

Really enjoyed out time with Matteo. He led us to a number of local Hong King food spots that we would have never visited on our own. Matteo adapted the tour based on what was open (we visited on a Sunday so the options were a bit limited) and listened to our feedback. Great of local Hong Kong food spots

It's great that he had time for us at such short notice. We really enjoyed our time with Matteo, he should just keep it up. We discovered places and places that we would never have found otherwise.Hong Kong: Informative, entertaining, fun

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

I booked „ Highlights & Hidden Gems of Honkong“ for my first day in Hongkong and that was a wise decision. Matteo met me in time at the meeting point and showed me around for even longer than the three hours of the booked tour. It was a real nice walk and we even had on my wish Reiss noodles in very nice St. foot place. I would never have found that alone and definitely would not have been able to order something there. Matteo showed me so many interesting places, points of interests, markets, Temple, lively streets, nice shops, street stalls and gave me very interesting insights about Hong Kong. I benefited the next days so much of it, knew where to buy things, knew where to go following his recommendations. he answered all my questions, for food, all of my requests and wishes, and I had a very good time and a perfect start for my trip. I strongly recommend this for your first time in Hongkong.Great Experience to start with Hong Kong

Matteo was willing to adjust the start time of the tour to give us time to settle to the hotel etc.
So from 4pm, he agreed to move it to 5:30. He was also willing to meet us where it was convenient. He got in touch with us prior to the tour thru WhatsApp and gave directions on what train to take etc. He took us to HK and Kowloon in the short hours we have. We would have been sooo clueless and overwhelmed without him. ❤️❤️😊Matteo is wonderful!

To message Matteo before your tour, as he will tailor your time with him and the things you see and do. We were supposed to start at 4 o’clock, but he changed it to 5 pm, and showed us all the things we wanted to see even though they weren’t strictly speaking on the tour as described. His English was very good.Don’t worry too much about the tour title

I truly enjoyed this food tour with Matteo. He’s quite a witty character with a sharp sense of humour. Before we started tasting all those amazing meals, I had been given a brief introduction to Hong Kong’s history which had been helpful as well as Matteo’s patience to answers all my questions. We visited interesting places and restaurants I certainly would not have gone to on my own due to my cultural and linguistic limitations. I’m glad Matteo truly tried to customise this tour to my taste and likings as I sometimes struggle with local asian cuisine. Overall it was a great experience and I could not recommend Matteo more. Thank you again.A lovely stroll through Hong Kong streets
