My husband and I spent an excellent day touring Hong Kong with Sherman. It was our first trip to HK. We asked her to customize our tour to help us understand how people live, eat and get around HK and to take us to places that only a local would know about. We were already booked to see the standard tourist destinations via our Viking cruise excursions so we wanted a counterpoint to that. Sherman designed a day for us that exceeded our expectations! We started with an incredible dim sum lunch at a place we never would have found on our own and might have been too timid to try. It was crazy busy and frenetic and we had a wonderful time trying lots of their specialties. We rode trams, the subways and walked a lot. Visited markets where residents actually shop (not the touristy markets), visited a public housing estate and got a better understanding of how people live in this crowded and expensive city and joined some school kids enjoying after school mango ice treats. It was a fascinating day! Sherman went out of her way to tailor the experience to our interests, including reviewing the details of other excursions that we had already planned thru Viking. She met us at a convenient place, gave us lots background on the city and personal insights insights about living there. She let us borrow her Octopus card to use public transit while we were together and even made recommendations for places we might visit and eat after our tour with her. All in all, it was an incredible experience. If you have a chance to book a tour with Sherman, you will not be disappointed! Great off the beaten path tour

I cannot overstate how amazing our full coverage tour with Sherman was!! First and foremost, Sherman’s communication was excellent before we had even met her - asking if we had any preferences and advising us to arrive hungry! The tour began in Hong Kong Island and Sherman took us to a traditional Dim Sum restaurant that you would never find if you weren’t a local. It was seriously the best Dim Sum ever! Throughout the tour, Sherman took the time to find out where we had already been and tailored the tour accordingly. Her knowledge of Hong Kong history was incredible and she drew on stories of her upbringing to really bring the place to life. She had prepared pre-loaded Octopus cards for us to make transport so much easier and we got to travel around the city by various means included the Ding Ding and Star Ferry! The tour concluded in the night markets of Kowloon, with Sherman helping us order dinner before we parted ways. Even after the tour, Sherman continued to communicate with us to make recommendations on hikes and restaurants. Outstanding!! We would award Sherman 11 stars if we could! Best tour ever with Sherman

We loved our time with Sherman in Hong Kong. She has a lot of historical knowledge and relates it to her own family's history. We saw a lot in 3 days! Landau Island was very special. Kowloon and Hong Kong island. Terminating with watching the symphony of lights from the the Dukling Junket (wow). Sherman taught us the MRT subway system, to tge point we felt comfortable getting around on our own . THANK-YOU so much Sherman. You are very special to us.Book with Sherman!

We had an amazing street food tour with Sherman! She’s so friendly and knowledgeable, we learnt about the food, customs and even the history of Hong Kong. I would recommend this to everyone and Sherman is a great host and goes above and beyond by giving us other food and travel recommendations during our trip! I hope to come back and do another outing with Sherman soon! Street food tour with Sherman

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
