Highlights
- Hong Kong - Join this personalized experience and your host will create an itinerary for you based on what you would like to do. You won’t have time to see everything, so here are some ideas: Feast on Hong Kong’s favorite snack, fish balls, which you’ll find served in a variety of ways, from boiled in noodle soup to fried and dipped in heady curry sauce. Then what about some dishes that’ll have you thinking twice? Snake soup is the perfect warm-up in winter, and dim sum with chicken feet is an experience for the adventurous! You’ll be glad of your host’s local ordering skills when you visit a cha chan teng for Yangzhou fried rice. At these informal eateries, food is fast, cheap and wildly tasty - but there might not be a menu! Make your own mind up about the polarizing texture of fake shark fin soup and rice rolls, and indulge in silky tofu pudding from your host’s go-to street hawker for dessert. IMPORTANT: As this is a private and personalised experience, the places you visit may differ from those listed and these will be chosen by your host based on your interests and preferences - Temple Street Night Market - From caged birds to live goldfish (although we’re not sure if you’re in the market for these, but it’s always fun to look), silk clothes and kitchen equipment, exploring this neck of the woods is not to be missed! IMPORTANT: As this is a private and personalised experience, the places you visit may differ from those listed and these will be chosen by your host based on your interests and preferences - Mong Kok Market - From the fragrant Flower Market to the kilometer-long wardrobe of the Ladies’ Market, you’ll be rewarded with new gems for your wardrobe, home or loved ones in this eclectic shopping crawl in ways that defy description. All you have to do is turn up - let us take care of the rest. IMPORTANT: As this is a private and personalised experience, the places you visit may differ from those listed and these will be chosen by your host based on your interests and preferences - Kowloon City - Lit by thousands of neon signs, this lively district really comes alive when the sun sets and with a name that means ‘9 dragons’, it’s no surprise. Neon lit markets, street eats and bars which sell herbal medicines! Sample from the incredible selection of available street foods - be bold, be brave and try everything! IMPORTANT: As this is a private and personalised experience, the places you visit may differ from those listed and these will be chosen by your host based on your interests and preferences - Victoria Harbour - See the most incredible views of the Symphony of Lights and Hong Kong Island’s skyline over the water before your host guides you through the maze of streets that make up this exciting area.

Indulge in decadent roast goose and hand-made coffee in Tsim Sha Tsui, the region’s southern urban hub. Discover your host’s favorite streetside cha chan teng eateries in Nathan Road - Kowloon’s oldest street - that radiate the mesmerizing, tastebud-tingling smells of snake soup, pineapple buns, fish balls, and tofu pudding. IMPORTANT: As this is a private and personalised experience, the places you visit may differ from those listed and these will be chosen by your host based on your interests and preferences - Kowloon City - Explore Kowloon, the raw, authentic mainland area of the city which sits on the northern shores of Victoria Harbor.

Additional Information
Enjoying street food in Hong Kong is more than just a local passion, it’s part of the fabric of everyday life. So what better way to explore the city than eating your way around the very best of the street food scene than with a fellow foodie by your side? Discover where the locals really eat, get lost in back street markets and taste incredible street food from local vendors as you learn a thing or two about the ingredients and dishes that keep the city going at all hours of the day.
- We’ll be in touch within 24 hours after booking to find out more about your personality, tastes and interests so we can assign a like-minded Local who can create a bespoke experience for you.
- Your Local Host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary and agree a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience you can always change your mind about what you want to do and eat.
- Your Local Host may also suggest adjustments or new routes if they feel that there is something just around the corner that you may enjoy, or perhaps if the weather affects your itinerary.
- Although you will see well known markets, eateries and stores, your Local Host will also help you to discover the places, things and stories that you won’t find in a guidebook and that make the city unique.

Well worth booking as an experience! - Great tour, our guide made sure that we ate lovely, local food that the local people enjoyed. She was friendly and made sure that we were comfortable the whole evening. She had a good sense of humour and we shared stories about our respective food cultures.

Adventures in food, Hong Kong - Went out for the evening with Betha and it was an enjoyable evening for our first night in Hong Kong. She customized the wanderings through the Hong Kong streets and really helped us get a sense of where we were and how things are laid out. I really enjoyed the insights that she provided and the willingness to adventure.

A great introduction to the city and food - We had an amazing host (Rachel). She took us to several different parts of the city and we tried a number of different foods. This was a great way for us to start our visit to the city. However, it was actually after our excursion that we really appreciated. Due to the protests our flight was canceled and we ended up staying two extra days in Hong Kong. Rachel contacted us to make sure we were okay and also to give us suggestions for other things to do during our unexpected extended stay. We would definitely recommend the company and the guide for anybody coming to Hong Kong.

Only three stars - It was a alright tour. We passed the food stand that we wanted our tour guide didn’t even know. The food was not that authentic Hong Kong street food. But we did covered all the area as mentioned. Good effort.
