COME JOIN OUR CENTRAL & SHEUNG WAN FOODIE TOUR!
Savor the Food — Taste your way through the old neighborhoods of Central and Sheung Wan. Along the 3 hour 30 minute-tour, discover some of Hong Kong's favorite food and drinks as you stroll off the beaten path in Hong Kong's financial and commercial area. Our journey will take us to six family-run tasting locations, each has been specially selected not only to represent the best examples of Hong Kong cuisine but also for the unique and interesting stories behind them. At each location, you'll learn about the secrets behind what makes the selected tastings so special. All food and drink tastings are included in the ticket price of HK$770.
Experience History, Architecture & Culture — Along our food tour, your local Foodie guide will share fun facts about the neighborhoods, recount stories of Hong Kong’s development and lead you to beautiful colonial architecture that still remains. As we meander from one tasting location to another, we will also walk through an open market, watch how locals buy fresh fish and if you’re lucky, you might be able to sneak a peek of a cage of snakes in a shop selling snake soup and wine.
