Benny gave us an amazing tour to places we had not been to. His knowledge of Hong Kong and love for what he does was very apparent. We went to see several local place and not the touristy ones. I would highly recommend this tour!

My mother and I were visiting Hong Kong for the first time, and we had the best experience with our local guide (CosMo) and our shopping tour. CosMo was so friendly and personable and we really enjoyed learning from him about the culture, while he took us through the local markets of Mong Kok. We shopped, tried some street food, had great conversations, and learned along the way. I would highly suggest this tour as well as CosMo as your guide!

What a fantastic afternoon experience I had on the Mong Kok Market tour. The tour was personable and was catered to my requests (which was much appreciated). I had a fabulous afternoon experiencing the frenetic fast paced Hong Kong market scene and the historical and cultural background to this eclectic city was provided by my expert guide Wai Lok. The energy and people here are truly amazing and unique. The sights, the sounds and the guide advised tasty food sampled along the way have been some of the best foods I have ever tasted! Wai was excellent in his approach, knowledge and care during as well as before and after the tour (reliable and dedicated to his service). Great planning, and approachable. I wish I had a Wai tour guide in every city I visit. Thank you for a fantastic experience.
