We had a great time with Dennis our tour guide, in this personalised walking tour. We had the opportunity to see some unique locations in the city which otherwise would have passed off as 'ordinary'. We also got to enjoy different types of sumptuous street food from different locations in the Kowloon area culminating in a lavish dinner. Dennis himself is an experienced Chef and my wife got a lot of valuable cooking tips relevant to diverse cuisines which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was a memorable night and we strongly recommend this tour.

Your questions, answered
Is this a traditional tour or something different?
This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.
How does personalization work?
After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..
Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?
Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.
Can I request specific places or types of stops?
Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.
Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.
Are food and drinks included, or do I need to pay separately?
Unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included. Your host will take you to great spots where you can order what you like and pay as you go.
Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?
No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.
How much walking is involved?
This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your experience will still go ahead, and your host will adapt the day to suit the conditions. One of the great things about City Unscripted is that no two experiences are the same, and your host knows the city well enough to find great “rainy day” alternatives.
Is it safe to explore at night?
Yes! Your host will guide you through safe and exciting areas so you can enjoy the city stress-free.
Can I adjust the plan on the day?
Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.
Do you have deals with restaurants or set food stops?
No, unlike traditional food tours, our hosts are free to take you to their personal favorite spots rather than fixed locations. This means your food experience will always be unique, with authentic and unbiased recommendations from someone who knows the local food scene best.
