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 Sherman)

1 March 2025

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

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

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

(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.

Throughly enjoyed our food tour with Sum Pui! The food choices were excellent and varied and were thoroughly enjoyed by all in our group! The “bonus” were the cultural sites that Sum Pui took us by including several temples, a quick tour of the original Hong Kong Prison, and a ride on the longest outdoor escalator in the world. Sum Pui was also more than willing to share his views on the development of modern Hong Kong as well as developments across the world. We have done food tours in multiple countries across Europe but this was excellent!More Then A Food 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

We did a customized tour with Angel. From the moment we started discussing the tour until saying goodbye, Angel surpassed our expectations. She went above and beyond to make my in-laws, who can be nervous travelers, feel comfortable and accommodated. She was incredibly knowledgeable about her native HK, and we appreciated hearing personal stories about her family and their traditions. She was very thoughtful in planning a tour for people in our small group who are 70+, including ensuring being cognizant of the amount of walking. Angel is an ultimate professional - I highly recommend Angel for any HK tour - as it’s clear she is one of the best!An Absolutely Amazing Guide!

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

Sum, aka Ronnie, was a great tour guide! As a journalist for his other job he was able to give me a great explanation of the history of Hong Kong. We tried an authentic dim sum restaurant/ tea house that has one of the six remaining dim sum carts in Hong Kong. It was truly a place for locals and he explained every dish and the experience of yum cha. We walked the streets around Hong Kong island and he explained the dried food shops. He pointed out many things while we walked around and was very informative. He jokes a lot so make sure you have a sense of humor! We stumbled upon a tattoo shop as I was explaining how much I missed my dog and that I wanted a tattoo of him. I decided on the spot to get a tattoo there and luckily they had a time slot after the tour. He even stayed with me to keep me company during my tattoo! Thank you for such a great day and an experience I will never forget!! Gong hei fat choy! Fantastic Hong Kong tour!!

Sum Pui’s tour secrets of Kowloon promised to show us the othe, less glitzy side of Hong Kong, where ordinary people lived. Sun Pui is knowledgeable, energetic an devote to educating his guests on the complex social background of his hometown, of which he is justly proud. He met guided us from the Marriott lobby to the MTR to a Kowloon’s San Wai estate housing in Shek Kip Mei Estate Hong Kong built in 1953 after a fire destroyed the neighborhood of migrants from the mainland. It’s been completely redeveloped and looks almost new. These housing estates built by the Brits in the 50s and 60s, and now in the process of renovation for select low income HK residents and merchants . Nearby, another older complex is being renovated and sits empty behind bar wire, surrounded construction sheds, a few scraps of forgotten or discarded laundry clinging to its balconies. We then visited tht Tai Hang Estate, a w rise complex. Its markets are vibrant and stocked with delicious vegetables and even some live chickens, frogs and fish. There are play yards, sports courts interspersed with the residences, which are midrise apartment blocks whose balconies are draped with drying laundry. The apartments and public spaces are inviting and well maintained, and in the shops and restaurants everything is half the price in subsidized Kowloon than in the Admiralty. This subsidized enclave contrasts with its overcrowded, neighbor, where market rents are double for inferior flats, and the markets are more desperate: commerce trades in second hand shoes, obsolescent electronics, used power drills, it seems impossible, but the impoverished neighborhood seems safer than LA, or even Bangkok, and boasts dynamite noodle shops with Michelin street food accolades. The Catholic church is surprisingly prominent in Hong Kong despite its British Protestant influences and mainland Chinese influences. He pointed us to the Man Kei Card noodle shop where we enjoyed delicious noodles recommended by Michelin

Thanks for taking me, despite Chinese New Year, to the " other" side of Hongkong. In this tour do not expect the "beautiful" nor the "rich" side of the city you will see the everday live of migrant wokers and other lower income people who have a significant role to play in the city. Thanks for this important insight. The unknown Hongkong

Not only is he knowledgeable about the street food scene in Hong Kong but he is also a great source of information regarding Hong Kong. We learnt a lot on this tour, we walked through various markets and above all we ate a lot of good food!An incredible guide to a beautiful city

Ronnie and Carrie were very prompt and professional, took us to three Kowloon street food establishments…none of the food was to our liking. We told Ronnie and he tried to explain that street food is not like traditional Chinese food. He kept asking what we would like and we really had a hard time explaining it so we ended the tour early. I think they really tried to give us an authentic street food experience and we just did not enjoy the food itself. Ronnie helped us get on the metro and we thanked him for his efforts. If you are very adventurous and would like new experiences with very unexpected flavors, this tour might be for you.Hong Kong St., Food tour review

Funny, sweet, outgoing, personable and extremely knowledgeable about her native Hong Kong, the sights and of course the lovingly curated food, she will show you everything from the hip to the historic and all in between. We had so much fun walking the streets and side streets, shops and restaurants, always at a thoughtful pace. Angel can even talk intelligently about great Hong Kong movies — ask her about them! Overall a pleasant delight, a wonderful, educational three hours! Thank you, Angel. You rock.Fun, informative, personal and delicious!

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.
