About this activity

We will jump right into the real Hong Kong with rides of double-decker tram (locals call it the "Ding Ding") through different areas from east to west of Hong Kong Island. Hopping off each stop we walk into lively local markets, experience century old ceremonies, hear the stories behind spots, and what is more - we will have 10 delicious tastings of local food and drinks on the way!

If you're here for the first time, book it on the early days of your trip so that you will have a general idea of the city's food and culture layout in different areas. If you're a frequent visitor, you will like the true local taste I choose for you. And you shall get to know more of the stories and history behind them.
