Hi, this is Armie. It’s all about people, feelings, and the moments we share. With the right person, food tastes better, places become more interesting, and a simple walk becomes unforgettable. Agree? Hong Kong is my city, and I have so many stories to tell about this place—some silly, some thought-provoking, and some long forgotten (or forbidden). We will explore highlights and beyond. Expect to immerse yourself among the locals as we explore the city. That’s how we discover the food that speaks to you, the places that reveal their stories, and the people you won’t forget. You know you’ll want to come back. Check out my tours and let me know how you’d like to make your experience special! I’ll be happy to create a tour that brightens up your trip (Sorry, grandma—I’m still loving what I do. My heart guides me.) I am already excited about our walk! Follow your heart! A little more about me: I’m a personable and humorous guy with many dreams. I am a guide, artist, and expressive arts therapist. Whatever I do, it’s all for humanity. I aim to inspire and bring joy and peace to people. Feel me? Top guide with the most 5-star reviews on previous tour platforms; great reviews on TripAdvisor. Born in British Hong Kong and raised through all its changes. Award-winning writer on Hong Kong identity, weaving in history and family stories. Performed at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia, showcasing contemporary Hong Kong through my true story, original hip-hop music, and a walking tour. Licensed tourist guide by the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong. Met my wife on the first tour I ever guided, and I made many close friends on subsequent tours. Make sure you choose a good storyteller—someone you feel connected to. Wishing you a wonderful time in Hong Kong!
