Tour description

Uncover the naked truth behind the glittering facade of Hong Kong on our Kowloon free tour. Unlike our Hong Kong food and culture tour, this unique experience brings you face to face with the concealed stories of this vibrant metropolis.

While Hong Kong is known as a thriving international finance center, visitors are often only shown the bright side of the city, with popular attractions like The Peak, Victoria Harbour, and Big Buddha taking center stage. But what about the 1.5 million people living in poverty, making Hong Kong one of the most unequal places on earth?

Join us on a journey to see Hong Kong in a more realistic light and gain a deeper understanding of the true stories of its people. Sign up now for a thought-provoking and eye-opening tour.

**Tourism is slowly recovering in Hong Kong, and we are in the process of restarting free walking tours as well. However, we need to run the Hong Kong and Kowloon tours as a PAID tour in the time being, and only offer these tours once per week (instead of everyday). For the Hong Kong & Kowloon Tour, the fee will be HKD 104 per person to join.**

If you accept this arrangement, you can either make a payment using the link below:

(If you have a reservation for two people, then make a payment two times)

You can also choose to pay the tour guide directly by simply show up at the meeting point. However, we will not send a tour guide for the tour if there are less than two paid customer 48 hours prior to the starting time of the tour so we cannot guarantee a tour will take place for you decided to walk in.

Please let us know once you have made a payment and we can confirm the tour. We apologize for any inconvenience cause, please feel free to contact us (+852 9444 8472) for more information.
