A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What 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.

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.

Great conversation and lots of foods.

Malin was such a lovely guide and I really enjoyed my afternoon. It was well organised, a great balance of food and walking and I really felt the value of using someone who knew the city -trying places I would never have gone to on my own. This is a premium price, compared with other food tours I’ve done across different cities, however I do recognise the level of personalisation and it was 1:1 experience. I would highly recommend Malin!

Had a great night in Kowloon with Benny. His local knowledge made the evening the perfect introduction to Hong Kong cuisine, sights, customs and culture. Would have no hesitation in recommending Benny!
