We had an amazing food experience as we get to have a taste of the authentic food in Hongkong. Learnt also about culture, tradition , and history of each restaurant we visited. Our tour guide Sinclair is very warm and friendly. He is so passionate in what he does and does extra mile to assist us especially that we didnt have the octopus card :) Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

A huge thanks to Mel and the Hello HK team. We had a great time on the food tour, Mel was so knowledgeable and friendly to talk to we enjoyed every second of it. Do take notice of the instructions to not have breakfast, you’ll end up completely stuffed regardless! I’d also recommend only having a light dinner the day before.

This is a great tour for tourists and I will recommend this tour for my friend who recently moved to Hong Kong. It was wonderful trying places that we would have never gone to including our favorite: Dim Sum! Jane was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. Perfect tour length and we felt satisfyingly full after :) after 3 tours in Hong Kong, this one ended up being our favorite.

This tour exceeded expectations! Our guide Mel was extremely knowledgeable and not only well-versed in the food portion of the tour, but also about the various sites and other points of interest discussed on the tour. He was engaging and enthusiastic - a real pleasure to spend a half day with! We've lived here for more than 7 years and yet we learned a lot about Hong Kong Island's food history and character, as well as its unique and interesting backstreets and areas of historical significance. The food was fabulous - make sure you come hungry!

We absolutely LOVED our food tour with MEL in mid-December. We started at 9:30AM and since all of the protests have scared off tourists, it ended up being a private tour. We met MEL outside a Starbucks in the main downtown area on HKI and then he started with a brief history of China’s food culture. I loved that he continued to reference this overview throughout the tour. Our first stop was a traditional dim sum restaurant and proved to be our favorite spot! Mel took care of ordering, based on our preferences, and showed us customary traditions for eating and helped us with some chopstick basics :) we then went through some of the fried seafood markets and Mel told us a lot about Chinese medicine traditions. We stopped at a local candy shop and had a tea ceremony - if you go here, buy some tea! We regretted not doing so later...the tea was SO good! Then we visited Mak’s noodle and really enjoyed hearing about the Mak family and their restaurants around the island. The soup was not our favorite, but enjoyed the ambiance and history. We then went through some of the mid-level elevators to get ‘lady’s stocking tea’ and egg tarts! Really enjoyed both and learning about the Hong Kong history of each snack! Mel then took us through some traditional markets which were amazing. All of the fruits and vegetables looked incredible. We then ended with some BBQ pork in Wan Chai - this place was incredibly authentic and we stuck out like a sore thumb, but I loved being there. A place we wouldn’t have tried without Mel, but we’re so glad to experience it. I would absolutely recommend this experience while in Hong Kong as it is something we’re still talking about weeks after our trip!!!

Grandparents , young couple and 18 month old had a wonderful tour with Sinclair . The food was very good , the places we ate excellent . The tour was so interesting with Sinclair’s amazing knowledge of Hong Kong and all the different food types . Tim was a fisherman so the many types of dried fish very interesting for him . The political upsets in Hong Kong didn’t effect us and we felt safe at all times . Oscar the baby loved the noodles . Highly recommend . Thankyou Sinclair for all the photos .

We had the best 2 days with Ryan. We tasted some great food and he took to us to lots of different places to eat and see culture! He changed to tour according to what we wanted to do and see. Ryan himself was a great friendly and knowledgable guy. He gave us tips on where to eat as well on the evenings. When we come back we will definitely be booking with Hello Hing Kong!!!
