Hey there, I'm Ashley - your go-to gal for an unforgettable tour of Hong Kong! As a born and raised local, I know this city like the back of my chopsticks. With a background in food and culture journalism, I'm your girl for all things Hong Kong cuisine, history and traditions. But enough about me, let's talk about you! As a caring and empathetic guide, I'll take the time to understand your interests and preferences to create a tailor-made tour that's perfect for you. Whether you're a foodie, history buff, adventurer, or all of the above, I've got you covered. As a passionate storyteller, I'll bring Hong Kong's sights and sounds to life with fascinating tales about the city's rich cultural tapestry. So, are you ready to discover the real Hong Kong with me? Let's embark on a journey filled with good vibes, unforgettable memories, and of course, lots of delicious food! As a former food journalist turned gourmet guide, I've spent years savouring and sharing the rich flavours of Hong Kong's history and culture. Born and raised in this culinary melting pot, I whisk you through the city's hidden gems, conversing effortlessly in Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and a pinch of regional dialects. With a five-stars track record, my tours are a fusion of local lore and epicurean delight - join me for a taste of Hong Kong's authentic essence! I am not a driver but I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Hong Kong tour

The New Territory of Hong Kong is about 11 times bigger than Hong Kong Island and Kowloon plus together. These are areas with more than half of the population of the city, truly local rich in culture and history, and with picturesque landscape. Yet, it's seldom mentioned on guide-books. As a local and a former journalist, I've come to know so many interesting things about them that I'd love to introduce to you. This will be a personalised food and culture experience just for you, through the lively and beautiful New Territory of Hong Kong! Along the way, we will taste some of the signature and tasty dishes in various eateries from savory to sweet, all where only locals go. And I'd love to share with you all the fascinating stories behind them.

Ashley went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful and informative tour! She knew we were staying in Hong Kong a few days, so before we met, she sent us several recommendations of things to see and places to eat, as well as a loose itinerary of what we would experience during our 8 hour bespoke tour. She sent a follow-up text to verify time and place where we would meet, as well as advice on temperature, weather conditions, and even what she would be wearing so we could find her easily. She provided historical information about the sites we visited and ordered a variety of foods at a local restaurant so we could try several different items. After the tour and based on our feedback, she provided more recommendations, all with map links. She also provided a detailed overview of all the places we visited. I highly recommend!

We had an amazing day touring with Ashley as our guide in Hong Kong! She curated a beautifully planned itinerary that perfectly complemented our previous day in the city, taking us to the New Territories to explore areas we hadn’t seen before. Ashley’s deep knowledge of Hong Kong, coupled with her kind and accommodating nature, made the experience truly memorable. Her love for Hong Kong shone through in every story she told and every detail she shared, bringing the region’s culture and history to life for us. Ashley went out of her way to ensure the day was tailored to our interests and needs, making the experience feel personal and special. If you’re looking for a guide who is not only incredibly informative but also lovely to be around, Ashley is the perfect choice. Thank you, Ashley, for a wonderful day—we highly recommend her!

Ashley was incredible. I arranged a private tour for 3 days in Hong Kong and 1 day to Macau with private driver. Two months in advance we started to communicate, and she created a customized tour based on myself and my wife's interests. The tour went flawlessly. She was exceptional, friendly, and pleasant. She took us to the best eateries, and the tea house was great. We even visited areas that usually tourist don't see. She is the best, highly recommended for an awesome tour in Hong Kong, and Macau.

Wonderful guide and a totally worthwhile tour! Ashley graciously tailored our time together to suit my particular interests, age and needs. Our visits to the Tsz Shan Monastery and the Tai Po Cooked Foods Market introduced me to fascinating parts of life in greater Hong Kong that I would never have visited on my own or even known about. I enthusiastically recommend this walking tour, and urge you to engage Ashley to serve as your guide for any tour that interests you.

Being a chef myself I'm always keen on tasting local flavours wherever I travel. I found Ashley's food tour a perfect introduction to Hong Kong. As a food journalist Ashley has an impressive knowledge of the industry, passionate about her city and culture. She's also a fun and warm person to hang out with, you feel like walking around the city with an old friend. Definitely a great way to experience Hong Kong! Thank you Ashley!
