What travelers think of our Hong Kong experiences

Michael 21 February 2026

At the beginning it was difficult to know what to do, as it is my second time in Hongkong. So I did most of the stuff that Dennis suggessted. But than we talked about stuff I did not do and we did them. He showed me some really good places for food and buying Souvenirs. Also gave me some idea what to do next. At some point we derailed with our talking about religion or investing. I really enjoyed his tour. He also has a real good eye for fotos

Bertha met us at our hotel. We discussed what we had seen, places we had visited on previous visits and she adjusted the itinerary to suit something we had not seen before. She was very friendly and knowledgeable

Benny gave us a long and interesting tour. He tailored it to our interests and told us many details about life and culture in Hong Kong, including details of the Man Mo temple. The tour gave us a great introduction with main attractions, over nice coffee places to hidden street art gems, from financial district to residential areas. Benny even shared some additional locations after the tour.

Benny chose a pace that matched mine & highlighted what were my interests. His care far exceeded my expectations.

Victor did a great job showing us Sheung Wan. He gave a lot of interesting information on the sights. And great info on local restaurants to eat at. He also took very good pictures of my family and me. He was very friendly and nice during our tour. Overall, he was a very good tour guide and we enjoyed our experience.

Thank you Amy! Amy was an amazing guide for our group of 8 (2 seniors, 4 adults, and 2 kids) on our tour of Sheung Wan. Some in our group have lived in HK and/or been to HK many times already, but we chose this tour to explore a part of the city we were not familiar with. Amy contacted us in the days before our tour to learn of any physical limitations and general interests in order to tailor our tour to our specific needs. It was a really interesting tour that took us to some off the beaten path spots. We sampled some very "local" and authentic food and drinks, toured the Graham street market that's been in existence for over 150 years, saw some interesting street art, and explored some antique shops. Amy went "above and beyond" in the following ways: 1. navigated a walking tour that limited the number of stairs to accommodate my 87 year old father in law 2. physically assisted my father in law without being asked 3. was flexible with her time 4. negotiated a fair price for a mahjong set from a street vendor 5. the in the days before and even after, made herself available via text to recommend restaurants and other points of interest around the city. Thank you Amy for all your time and consideration in making our tour fun and memorable. We had a blast and highly recommend this tour!

What you’ll do

You’ll hit the streets of one of Hong Kong’s oldest neighborhoods, Sheung Wan, with one of our local hosts by your side. Hong Kong is an intoxicating blend of cultures, cuisines, and traditions, and there’s no better place to experience all of this at once than in Sheung Wan.

Explore Dried Seafood Street and Medicine Street (we know, they took street naming quite literally back in the day) and browse traditional Chinese medicine stores. Laidback and authentic, you’ll experience a taste of the real Hong Kong as you explore the winding alleyways of this old district with your host, and like all the cool kids in Hong Kong, you might just want to move here too!

Note the British-influenced architecture and trendy stores, as well as hipster bars sitting alongside classic local food markets. You might want to hunt for antique curios in (you guessed it) Antique Street and pick up something delicious to eat in one of the city’s oldest food markets.

From beautiful temples and traditional heritage to subtle (and not so subtle) Western influences, your host can’t wait to share this trendy pocket rocket of Hong Kong with you!
