There were 7 of us and Jacky offered us a great itinerary. My favorite part of the tour was when we visited a neighborhood market and a fish market where we had the best dinner I ever had.

A Taste of Hong Kong
Discover true, local Hong Kong cuisine! With the ubiquity of Chinese food throughout the world, many people believe they’ve experienced true Cantonese cuisine outside of China. This is rarely the case!
We’re here to introduce you to the real Cantonese cuisine Hong Kong is famous for. From its preparation to its main elements to its history and even its influence from the British colonisation during the 19th century, you’ll discover exactly what makes Hong Kong’s Cantonese cuisine just so special and so different from the other Cantonese cuisines you’ve tried.
While this is a food-focused tour, we won’t miss out on seeing some noteworthy sites in the city, and we’ll discuss how the local cuisine ties in with the Hong Kong culture at large. We at This is Asia Tours are truly the best people to get you acquainted with Cantonese cuisine–we grew up on it and we know the best spots in town to get authentic dishes. Along the way, we’ll tell you all about Hong Kong’s cafe culture, introduce you to the HK style bakery, pop into local markets, and learn how locals prepare food. We hope you’re hungry!
We saw so much during our stay in Hong Kong and would recommend this tour! We were on a cruise that only afforded us one day in Hong Kong and felt that we maximized all the highlights on this tour.

Jacky was awesome and made sure to teach us all he could about the history of Hong Kong. The tour was very informative and we were able to see some amazingly breathtaking sights. A tour guide really gave us a better insight of the history of this area. I would definitely recommend it!

See Hong Kong like a local!! We toured Hong Kong with Jacky as a family with 3 young adults. We tasted the most delicious local baked goods that we would not have discovered on our own. Jacky engaged our kids in learning the history of Hong Kong and also mainland China in relation to the island. It was a fun tour and packed with knowledge. Be prepared with a good pair of walking shoes!!
I would definitely recommend Jacky of This Is Asia Tours if you want to experience Hong Kong as a local and through the eyes of a local who loves his city.
