Cosmos was a great guide! We had arrived in Hong Kong that afternoon and weren't comfortable navigating the city on our own yet, so he met us at our hotel and taught us the Metro system which was great! We had a really fun evening exploring all the markets and sampling lots of local street food!

Our guide Cosmos met us at our hotel. He took us from the hotel to the mrt showing us points of interest on the way. He helped us buy the mrt tickets and showed us how to use the machine for future reference. He took us to three different temples and was very knowledgeable informing us about local customs and traditions. With his guidance we were able to make the most of the rest of our trip. Brilliant guide and great communication friendly as well.

Cosmo is een charmante gids die alle vertelde over Hongkong en de manier van leven in Hongkong. Over alle gebouwen wist hij wel wat te vertellen. De local markten heel leuk om gezien te hebben. 4 uur lang alles gezien. Cosmo is a charming guide who told all about Hong Kong and the way of life in Hong Kong. He knew something about all the buildings. The local markets are very nice to see. Seen everything for 4 hours.

A fun morning with a talented artist Cosmo has an eye for street art and as a native of Hong Kong with an interest in the milieu, he knows where to find it. I got a lot of history and exercise along with my fun and interesting tour of the back allies of the city. Cosmo was easy to talk to, was always smiling, and knew a lot about the artists and their work. I learned that the city overpaints certain street art every few years to encourage new artists. As a bonus, Cosmo even brought along a portfolio of his own work. Highly recommended if you have an interest in urban street art.
