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!

Reviews

    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!

    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!

    She really tailored our tour to things that interest us - street art, local breweries, beautiful parks, and so on. She also shared her experience of life in Hong Kong and being a Hing among-er-allowing is a glimpse into the great city. Sheung wan is a beautiful old part of HK.

    We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Francesco he took us to places we would never have found on our own and gave us a lot of tips of where to go and where to eat cheaply.
