Brilliant tour guide!
Matteo was absolutely brilliant! Really knowledgeable about Hong Kong and took us through the city's history from past to present day in such an engaging way. He had loads of energy and was really accommodating to what we wanted to see.
He definitely knew all the best spots to take us and made sure we got a proper feel for the city. Really organised and enthusiastic throughout - couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Would definitely recommend Matteo to anyone visiting Hong Kong!

The perfect tour guide!
What an enjoyable experience! Angel combined 2 tours together for us since we only had a week in Hong Kong. We did her instagram tour combined with her food tour and it was fabulous. Angel herself is a delight to spend time with, she’s personable and knowledgeable. If you’re trying to choose the best local, don’t pass up Angel!

Great experience!
I booked this tour pretty last minute and had no regrets. My partner and I had a great tour with Sum Pui who took us around Kowloon and Sham Shui Po. We learnt lots about public housing, got street food, shopped at electronic markets, spontaneously visited an art exhibit visit and had good dim sum! It was a leisure and casual tour. We could have visited these areas ourselves but having Sum Pui there meant we had someone to ask questions to and give us that extra insight we wouldn't know.

Authentic HK Street Life
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.
