This was a truly fantastic experience. Kiyo is an A+ tour guide and while I booked a food-focused tour, he is incredibly knowledgeable about all things Hong Kong so I also got a lot of history, culture and non-food sightseeing along our journey. The culinary choices were varied and interested. Kiyo really kept the tour moving at a good pace so we were able to experience a lot in our four hours together. Highly recommend.
This was an incredible food tour. We walked around the streets of Hong Kong learning about the history and culture of the city, then pop into a Michelin star restaurant. Kiyo also tailored the tour to our personal preferences. 10/10 recommend.
Thank you soooooo much for your positive review :) I am so happy to know you are satisfied with the tour. Thank you Andrea, and looking forward to see you and your friends in HK again.
Myself and my husband had a fantastic private Michelin recommended food tour of Kowloon with Kiyo. He is such a lovely guy and we warmed to him immediately. The tour took us to places that we would never have thought to go to by ourselves and all of the food was delicious. We really stepped out of our comfort zone when trying the snake soup! Kiyo was very generous with the dishes he provided us with and he even arranged to wrap up some food for our friends who were on a later flight. We particularly enjoyed walking through the various markets on our travels and the sights and smells gave us a wonderful insight into the culture. Kiyo is extremely knowledgeable and answered our many questions throughly and in an interesting manner. We were so glad that we booked the tour with Kiyo, we had such a short amount of time in Hong Kong so we really felt that we maximised the time we had. Thank you Kiyo! 😃
Thank you very much! It’s my honour to have an opportunity to become your tour companion. Looking forward to meeting you in Hong Kong again.
Kiyo was an amazing tour guide. Very charismatic and well informed. I enjoyed the tour very much. I learned a lot, specially the fan trick. Thank you for this amazing time.
Thank you, I will keep it up. Wish to see you in Hong Kong again~ Warm regards, Kiyo.
Our night in Hong Kong was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to our exceptional host, Kiyo! Meeting us at the ship terminal, Kiyo, a lifelong resident, greeted us warmly before we embarked on an unforgettable journey into the heart of Mongkok. Throughout the tour, Kiyo amazed us with his extensive knowledge of Hong Kong's history and diverse cultures.Kiyo's mantra, “You’ve never been to Hong Kong until you eat in Hong Kong,” truly came to life as he led us through a tantalizing culinary adventure. We indulged in an array of local delicacies at various stalls and shops, from mouth-watering dumplings to vibrant street food and exotic fruits. Kiyo expertly catered to our taste preferences, whether we craved something spicy, sweet, or tangy, ensuring each dish delighted us.Not only did Kiyo treat our taste buds, but he also enriched our minds, showing us key film locations and significant areas in the city, all while maintaining an engaging and confident demeanor that made our rainy night vibrant and exciting.For anyone considering a comprehensive and enjoyable walking tour that combines the pleasures of history with gastronomic delights, this three-hour journey with Kiyo in Hong Kong is a must-do. You will leave with a full stomach, a richer understanding of the city, and, most importantly, a smile on your face. Highly recommended!
Thank you, I will keep it up. Wish to see you in Hong Kong again~ Warm regards, Kiyo.
Kiyo is a 5+ star guide! I am an english speaker who requested an itinerary to maximize my time and the amount of locations during an overnight layover. Kiyo is a great communicator through WhatsApp and has great experience navigating the transit system. He created the perfect itinerary, was flexible with time and location when needed, and received and delivered me to the airport right on time. He even helped me negotiate prices on souvenirs. I highly recommend Kiyo as a tour guide for travelers all ages!
Thank you, I will keep it up. Wish to see you in Hong Kong again~ Warm regards, Kiyo.
