FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

That’s a hard question for us to answer, but we would advise guests to think about their preferences in terms of budget, objectives, dietary restrictions, time of day, food adventurous level, amount of walking and if they’re interested in a sit down meal or multiple food tasting stops instead.

It’s probably best to go to our “Compare Tours” page to see all the small-group food tours at a glance for a comparison and then if you’re interested in a fully customized & intimate tour to your own pace and style, then definitely splurge on a private tour!

If you think our tour guides have done a good job, it would be absolutely amazing for you to give them a nice tip at whichever value and currency you prefer. It’s not required, but it’ll make them quite happy =)

Each tour page will give you a summary of how much walking the tour will require or you can check out the “Compare Tours” page for a quick at a glance comparison of all the small-group tours. For the most part, the terrain is quite flat so the walk itself isn’t difficult but some tours will cover up to 3km in distance within 3-4 hours.

If that’s too much walking for your group, we recommend choosing a private tour and adding on the private car option. Please request a private tour with us here.

For our small-group food tours, we have some tours that are vegetarian and pescatarian friendly. We would recommend our Off-the-Eaten-Path Street Food and Authentic Eateries Food Tour for the best one for those that are vegetarian or pescatarian as it gives the most amount of customization for you. Please do let us know at time of booking and also at the beginning of the tour to remind the tour guide.

For private tours, as it is personalized to your needs, it is absolutely no problems if you have dietary restrictions though you will need to let us know at time of booking. Please request your private tour here.

These tours are definitely family and children friendly; however, it would also depend on the child as well. Families that are most prepared are usually the ones that have the best experienced as they’ve a bag full of treats, distractions and tricks to keep their children occupied and engaged the entire tour. If it’s your first time bringing your children along for a tour, please consider their personality, curiosity & attention-span to see if this would be an activity that they would be interested in.

If you’ll be bringing little tots and kiddos on the tour, just let us know at time of booking and we can advise how convenient it would be to bring along a stroller/pram, etc.

Hong Kong has a sub-tropical climate and is prone to Typhoons, especially during the summer months. We run our tours through run or shine, until it’s physically unsafe for us to do so. In Hong Kong, our Hong Kong Observatory has Typhoon and Rainstorm Signals to let us know when it’s unsafe for us to be outdoors.

In the case of extremely inclement weather, all events will be cancelled if the Hong Kong Observatory announces that the Red or Black Rainstorm Signal is hoisted or the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal: T8, T9, or T10 is hoisted.

Special note for the Eat Typhoon Shelter Crab on a Sampan Boat Tour: This tour is particularly susceptible to the weather given we eat dinner on a moored sampan boat. The restaurant gives us their final verdict weather (pardon the pun) the tour will run by mid-day if there are thunderstorm signals, T1/T3 signals, or if the Amber Rainstorm signals are hoisted. Please check your email before leaving for the tour to ensure that you have the most up-to-date status from us. Also, you could also WhatsApp us at +852 9139 5761 to check with the status of the tour.

For the latest weather information, please visit the Hong Kong Observatory site.

We respond to our emails within 24-48 hours, often within a couple of hours.

We are usually conducting tours or location scouting around Hong Kong during our “work hours”. Our guests get our full, undivided attention, which means we can’t always hear or answer the phone when we’re on tour, so we do apologize in advance if we miss your call. We would encourage you to drop us an email or WhatsApp us instead for the fastest response possible from us & if you have no data, then a SMS would also suffice as well.
