What you'll do

If you’re looking for a crash course in Hong Kong life, this is it. Local knowledge will kick-start your adventure, ensuring you know how to get around, and how to stay safe in the chaos of this monumental melting pot. Walk the streets of touristy areas like Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island or Mong Kok in Kowloon, and let your guide show you the side of the city hidden from guide books and Instagram feeds alike, where a little lesson in Cantonese can go a very long way. In just a few hours, you could fall in love with street food favorites like pineapple buns and fish balls, and it won’t be long until you’ve got a firm grip on wholesome Hong Kong and all its transport options. We’ve got you covered - you’ll be a city slicker in no time!

Where you’ll go

Hong Kong is incredibly diverse, but perhaps a little overwhelmingly so. A little local expertise wouldn’t hurt, and that’s where your host steps in! They’ll give you superb insight into navigating this mega-metropolis, from riding the MTR train lines to making sense of the three districts - Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and New Territories - and what they can offer. Get introduced to the finest street food stalls in Sheung Wan, the working-class suburb that has witnessed the city’s rise, or learn how to navigate the labyrinth of tall towers and winding streets that make up Central, the city’s financial hub. You could even learn a bit of history from the locals on Kowloon’s Nathan Road, the oldest street in the area!

Reviews

    I had a great time with my local tour guide. I sent some sights that I wanted to see to the guide in advance, and he mapped out our time together. He told me the ins and outs of the area, and it really felt like an immersive experience. I would highly recommend this tour!
