Benny was a superb host yesterday. His tour was unique as he tailored it to our emerging wishes as we went along. He conveyed his local knowledge, building a picture of the area and individual stops with enthusiasm. We were fascinated by the markets, enjoyed his recommendations in the restaurants and glad to have a few rest stops along the way. A lot of walking was fuelled by glorious local food and drinks from packed venues where Benny was able to walk us straight to tables. Although labelled as a night food tour, we went on an afternoon and had a wonderful time. No dinner needed after...just a contented sleep!

Our host was excellent!

My mom and I had an excellent tour with Dennis! He was super accommodating, friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about all the food we ate and the city!! We would highly recommend this experience with Dennis to any of our family or friends. If we are ever back in Hong Kong, we would book again!

Our night tour with City Unscripted was the perfect way to start our visit to Hong Kong. We chose to stay in Kowloon to enjoy the street food and markets. Regene was a fabulous guide, and communications through the Viator app were easy and very timely.

Anna 12 February 2026

Benny was an excellent host! We were able to see tourist and local focused markets with his help. I recommend this tour if you are wanting to experience hk. We will book with them again.

FAQs

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.

We had a fantastic day with our guide Julia. She was extremely knowledgeable on everything on the walk and was so easy to listen to and chat to. It was like having a friend there in a walk. Julia took us to some great spots that we would have never discovered if we had been on our own. In summary we highly recommend this excellent personal experience and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Melissa

This was a wonderful day! We learned so much about the city. The history as well as it today. Our guide, Patricia was fabulous!!

My wife and I had been in Singapore 35 years ago and we booked a four-hour private tour to discover the differences in Singapore since 1990. Mark promptly met us at our hotel and we did a four-hour walking tour starting at the Merlion and continuing through the various cultural heritage neighborhoods. We had a fascinating dialogue as we explored the different areas together, sharing the history of each and where the cultures stand today. This tour took us places that we would have never found on our own and provided an opportunity to ask a local about living in Singapore that would not be possible otherwise. We walked 11,000 steps on your four hour tour so if you want to see a lot and learn about Singapore on a truly personal customized tour, we strong recommend asking to tour with Mark. But be prepared to walk and explore!
