I frequent Hong Kong at least 5 times a year. Almost 20 years later, I finally took a food tour with Hong Kong Foodie Tours and learned even more about my favorite city.
Hong Kong Foodie Tours was created by food passionate Hong Kong locals for food passionate travelers. Each of the 3 tours offered includes 6 tastings in family-run establishments during a 4-hour walking tour with a licensed tour guide with whom you will learn about the past, present, and future of Hong Kong’s culture.
By the end of the tour, the knowledge learned and the food tasted will undoubtedly make you feel like a fellow local.

Watch my short video about my Hong Kong Foodie Tour experience:
The company’s first and signature tour covers what can be known as quintessential Hong Kong in the Central & Sheung Wan tour.
For 750 HKD (~$96 USD), the tour includes 6 tastings of the most popular everyday foods in Hong Kong with wonton noodle soup, roast meat over rice, fresh juice, preserved fruits, dim sum, and dessert at a local bakery.
While some may argue a food tour is an unnecessary expense and they can just eat at these establishments on their own, the true value of the tour comes with the access to kitchens, with the guides’ rapport with the owners, and the immense knowledge, stories, and details of the history and culture of these locals’ beloved city.
Beyond Central and Hong Kong Island, you can also take tours in Kowloon and New Territories. The Sham Shui Po morning tour of Kowloon is also priced at 750 HKD, while the Tai Po Market afternoon tour of New Territories is 890 HKD.
