How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
You’ll join one of our food-loving Hong Kong hosts to explore Hong Kong's food culture in the heart of the colorful Kowloon neighborhood. Game changer - you’ll do so after dark. Lit by thousands of neon signs, this lively district really comes alive when the sun sets and with a name that means ‘9 dragons’, it’s no surprise.
See the most incredible views of the Symphony of Lights and Hong Kong Island’s skyline over the water before your host guides you through the maze of streets that make up this exciting area.
Eat your way around traditional night markets where vendors sell all the classics like steamed crab, cheung fun (chewy rice noodles), siu mai (a street version of a steamed dim sum classic), and fried octopus tentacles - this is where you’ll find some of the best food in the city!
Head to Dundas Street and explore the gaai, or back alleys, where you’ll find tiny bars selling drinks ranging from herbal medicines to beers!
When you are done, why not grab a seat at one of the bars with your host who will share local secrets with you, like where the locals go at 5 am to eat fried squid balls after a night of partying, and where the best underground clubs are.

Dennis was a great host. Contacting us often to make sure the experience was tailored for us. Fabulous bites from soup dumplings and Sichuan fried chicken to Dim Sum and desserts each at the best specialty shop or restaurant throughout Hong Kong. Learn to eat like a local and get a great orientation to this vibrant city.

Our guide, Kiyo, was very tentative and engaging. He reached out to us as soon as we made the reservation. Despite the inconvenience, he met us at our hotel. We really enjoyed listening to the history of Hong Kong as well visiting restaurants that locals go to. We had an amazing time during our first night in Hong Kong.

I had a private food tour with Malin and had a lovely afternoon-it felt like wandering around with a friend, she was a wonderful guide. We did lots of walking which helped to balance out all the tasty food! Malin was very organised ahead of the tour, and I felt like she really personalised the trip according to my preferences. I definitely saw places I wouldn’t have visited and tried food I might have not thought about… she also gave me some great recommendations for the rest of my time in Hong Kong. This is a premium price, but given it’s a bespoke, 1:1 experience I think it was worth it.
