Private Half-Day Real Hong Kong Walking Tour

We had an absolutely brilliant experience with Bigfoot Tours whilst staying in Hong Kong over the Christmas period. Pearline was our fabulous tour host on Christmas Day and went above and beyond from the very start. She arrived 30 minutes earlier than scheduled at our hotel and even brought our six year old a Christmas gift including some sweets, which we were extremely grateful for. It was such a thoughtful touch. The tour fully met our objectives of helping our six year old learn how Hong Kong and its people live, in a way that was engaging, accessible and genuinely fun. Pearline explained everything clearly and kept the experience relaxed and enjoyable throughout. She also made sure we were safe at all times, particularly when crossing roads and visiting wet markets. Our tour included a visit to Man Mo Temple where Pearline explained the purpose of each of the three buildings and the associated superstitions. We also visited the Mid-Levels Escalators, enjoyed tea from a local stall and took the Star Ferry, along with a walk around Central and its wet markets. This was our second time using Bigfoot Tours and once again they did not disappoint. Pearline was fantastic and the administration side from Ski was excellent from start to finish. Everything was well organised and seamless. We really cannot thank the whole team enough and would highly recommend Bigfoot Tours. A well deserved five stars.

Maggie was a wonderful patient guide we CB learned much about Zhong alongside history and todays traditions was the best 4 hours of our visit

This is our second time to Hong Kong and Maggie was our tour guide in 2016 and we made sure she was our tour guide again in 2025. She does an excellent job in explaining local culture history and even cuisine next time we come to Hong Kong we will absolutely call Bigfoot tours and make sure Maggie is our Tour guide. She is simply amazing.

Maggie was superb, so much so we booked another tour for later in the week! Really friendly and very knowledgeable!

Our guide Maggie was wonderful. I worked with Ski to set up 2 private tours: Kowloon and Real Hong Kong Tour. Both were excellent. I only wanted half-day tours, and both were perfect for us – 4 hours walking around Hong Kong in the heat and humidity was a lot, but Maggie was great! Very informative, a kind, caring person we enjoyed getting to know her, and her life in Hong Kong. Would book with this company again, truly wonderful!

We had such a great "behind the scenes" tour of local places in Central and Western Districts of HK. Maggie was just awesome! It was ridiculously hot, of course that was partly our fault visiting in mid-July! She answered all my questions honestly - something you can't get from a tour guide in Mainland China because they are so highly regulated, so this was a refreshing change! We learned so much about the culture in Hong Kong, which is my favorite. If you like learning about current culture and food, this is the tour for you! Honestly, I can only see so many temples in Asia before they all start looking the same. This tour was different! Maggie did take us in a Taoist Temple which was different from the Buddhist ones and also very interesting because she explained all the rituals in great detail. She took us to a couple of awesome food places (local, not touristy) to try Hong Kong French Toast, Egg Tart, and tea. Everything was excellent! We also loved touring the local food markets, with all the crazy and different food for sale (ie pig's head and cut up fish with the heart that was still beating!) She explained the herbalist doctors and what they do. We sort of booked this tour last minute, but it was my favorite thing we did in Hong Kong!

Our guide Ivan took us on a 4 hour walking tour of Central on Hong Kong Island where we saw an amazing array of sights from the towering skyscrapers to the small alley ways with tiny restaurants jam packed with locals and an atmospheric Taoist temple. The pace was easy going with plenty of stops and we finished with a ride on a double decker tram. Thank you Ivan. I can highly recommend this tour.

We booked this tour as a group of 4 adults pretty much last minute and so glad we did. We were only in HK for 2 and a half days and this tour really brought HK Island to life and ensured we got the most out of our limited time there. Maggie our guide was excellent and, being a HK resident was brilliant at showing us places we wouldn't have seen and, more importantly, explaining the culture and history around the places we were taken too (including some very out of the way and authentic HK eateries. Would highly recommend.

Ivan did a great job to give us a local's view of Hong Kong. Opened my eyes to quite a few things I didn't know about.

My husband and I did a private Real Hong Kong walking tour and really enjoyed it. Our guide was Maggie and she was excellent. We saw a good variety of things and her presentations were very informative. She knows so much and is very kind and easy going. Would definitely recommend!
