Insightful tour that provides a good overview of the unique housing situation in Hong Kong. Felt a bit crowded with 13 people walking through the "poorest" neighbourhood in town. However, Andy, our guide, was very accommodating and resolved all queries. Good alternative to the typical touristy options.

Issac was an amazing guide. Fabulous tour showing the poverty that exists behind the bright lights of Hong Kong. A must if you are visiting the city.

This tour was so informative and humbling. Seeing how other people had to live was eye opening. Our guide was brilliant , happy to answer a multitude of questions and knew so much about the history of the area- very impressive ! Would definitely recommend, not too much walking and an experience which makes you reflect on how lucky you are. Very humbling .

Awesome tour of Hong Kong. I really wanted to see with my own eyes an actual cage where people live in the subdivided apartments in HK. I recommend this tour to everyone, our guide Steven was awesome.
