This was a truly amazing experience and one that I would highly recommend. I had often wondered what it would be like to not have sight, which I, like most humans, value the most of all my senses. After this tour, I have come to value it all the more; at the same time realising that I am capable of... More

This exhibition is different than anything I had seen before. I now understand more about the daily challenges that blind people face.

We booked this due to tripadvisor. Glad that we did that. Upon starting the journey, we were being introduced to Joanne, without knowing that she is a blind person. Thus, throughout the journey, we assumed that she had her night vision device on as she easily located every single one of us (total 8 persons in my group) during the... More

Dear Lina, It is always the greatest motivation for us to do better whenever we receive positive feedback from our customers!! Thank you for your great advice and suggestions. To have a small museum is also our dream to work on. In order to afford the ridiculous high rent in Hong Kong, we must work harder and have more customers... More

Communication generally easy, but do come across some who have limited/no english. Some pointing and giggling gets you through. be prepared to haggle when shopping

Dear Lan, Thank you for your comment. We understand that there are still room for improvement regarding the English Tour guides's language standard. In the meantime, we also hope for understanding from our customers to considerate their incompetency of being a native speaker. However, I am a bit skeptical about your comment on "haggle when shopping". All items we sell... More

Off the beaten track and an unusual experience especially for Hong Kong, but truly a thought provoking and humbling experience. If you have already done the major attractions of Hong Kong then take a couple of hours to have a glimpse into the world of the blind. Henry (our guide who himself was blind from a very young age) showed... More

This was amazing! One of my highlights of my HK trip! I can see why others say that it could be scary for this who are afraid of the dark, but my partner and I found that we quite quickly become used to it. Yes, you are placed in pitch black, but our guide was amazing at getting us comfortable... More

We found Dialogue in the Dark to be an interesting experience but in our view it is more of an educational forum (that doesn't quite work) than a tourist attraction. Certainly it is thought provoking to be placed in the shoes of a blind person and the physical issues they face but explanation from the unsighted or partially sighted guides... More

Want to "see" like a blind person? This is your opportunity. You'll spend more than an hour in complete darkness, trying to experience the world like those who cannot see with their eyes. Something special really, I can only recommend it. The English session with our guide Ruby was a great experience.

Dialogue in the dark makes you enter a world you would rather escape thinking of. I have heard from few friends about this museum in Frankfurt, Germany and when I got the chance to visit it in HK, I just told my tour guide to go there.
