Hi, I’m Alan – your no-BS, licensed Hong Kong guide who turns a visit into stories you'll tell for years. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I've lived and worked in California, mainland China, and Korea, clocking over 1.6 million miles across the globe. After 40 years dominating international shipping, I retired and channeled that same drive into guiding—passing the rigorous licensing exams to become a fully certified professional. I've now led over 140 private tours (and counting), mostly for sharp American travelers and cruise ship guests who demand real value: authentic encounters, zero tourist traps, and the kind of insider access that makes their trip unforgettable. Having sailed on 15 cruises myself, I get exactly what shore excursion clients crave—seamless logistics, total flexibility, comfort without compromise, and genuine local immersion that feels personal, not packaged. I'm a master storyteller with a sharp wit and zero patience for boring scripts. Expect candid insights into Hong Kong's layered history, chaotic energy, lesser-known cultural layers and vibrant local scenes, and unbeatable street eats—delivered with humor and zero fluff. Whether it's decoding the city's colonial past, navigating vibrant markets like a pro, or uncovering lesser-trodden corners most visitors miss, I make sure you leave with memories that actually stick. Special requests? No problem—I've got you covered in advance. Want a private Tai Chi session in a quiet park or something completely tailored to your interests? Just say the word, and I'll arrange it seamlessly. Friendly, funny, fiercely passionate about Hong Kong, and always ready to go the extra mile. Let's skip the ordinary and make your time here legendary. Contact me to customize your perfect tour—because average isn't in my vocabulary. Tourist Guide: TG13125

For foodies who want to experience Hong Kong's unique culture through tasting more than 10 different kinds of local street foods and drinks, this 3-hours tours can satisfy you most. As Colony of the United Kingdom for 155 years, Hong Kong is a typical melding pot between the East and the West. Our ancestors have created lots of dishes, pastries, snacks and drinks by blending the cooking skills and mixing the ingredients with the East and the West. Lots of Hong Kong foods are unique in Hong Kong and we have exported some of those foods to other part of China as well as to other part of the worlds through Hong Kong's migrants and businessmen in the last century. Our street foods, as you know, started as poor people's foods 150 years ago, include different parts of internal organs of cow, pigs, chicken and goose, fish ball or meat balls, dim sum, waffle-like dessert, herb tea or strange fruits from South East Asia like durian.
