Virginia was a vibrant and personable guide that made our day in Hong Kong fun and memorable. She allowed us to enjoy a flexible tour that catered to our specific wants, and we had a nice variety of cultural experiences. I personally loved the tranquil and beautiful gardens of the ___ monestary, juxtaposed against the city skyline, and the one of a kind view from Victoria’s Peak. The dim sum restaurant was just too cool.... very much a local hang-out, where Virginia is known personally and able to introduce us to some of the family working there. The food was quite delicious, and I loved learning the dim sum traditions and tea pouring ritual.
My husband’s favorites were the Star Ferry Promenade, with its city views from the harbor, the funicular ride down from the Peak, and comparing the MTR to subways in other cities... Hong Kong’s is much easier! He enjoyed the stop for egg waffles, a local street food; he chose the chocolate chip and found it very tasty. I personally loved the boba tea!
Virginia is English speaking, and speaks flawless Cantonese with the locals to communicate on our behalf, thus the best of both worlds. She is a wonderful conversationalist, and we had a delightful day all around. Thank you Virginia!

The day started with our guide (Martin) meeting my husband and I at our hotel and taking us to traditional Dim Sum. We sat at a table with locals and learned how to wash our plates and pour tea, much the the amusement of everyone on the table (all in good humour), when we left we were wished a happy holiday and the day just kept getting better.
Martin took us to places we never would have found, we ventured down back alleys, side streets and underpasses, we learned a lot about the history and ate some amazing food.
Our day ended at a Dai Pai Dong, we were able to sit down, relax and eat (again) while our guide gave us a list of places to try (including detailed instructions and maps of how to find them) the next day.
We have both recently retired and this was our first trip overseas together for over 30 years, so we were a little nervous about travelling. Taking this tour was the best thing we did and made the rest of our stay even more enjoyable.
I cannot recommend Humid with a Chance of Fishballs highly enough. Whether you have an idea as to what you want to do or are happy to leave it to the amazing team to plan your itinerary, you will not be disappointed.
We will be back and will be booking another tour with Virginia and her team!

Hi Virginia, just wanted to pass along my thanks for the food and local history tour with Martin yesterday . Everything went very well and Martin is very knowledgeable about the Kowloon City area and shared his personal story which I found fascinating. The tour was exceptional and the dai pai dong at the end was a great finish to the waking tour. Keep posting those videos. Thanks, Rick

Eating our way around HK with Virginia was probably THE highlight of our trip. Food brings people together, and nowhere is that more apparent than in Virginia’s Food Tour. Not only do you get to eat at some of HK’s best (and mostly hidden, non-mainstream) food spots, but you also get to experience the hows and whys of HK’s food culture; a small glimpse of HK everyday life through food. It honestly didn’t feel like a tour at all. It felt more like a longtime friend enthusiastically showing you around her hometown, her favorite city. That’s the best kind.

We had a personalized tour to Bug Buddha, the monastery, and Lai O island with Martin as our guide. We had a wonderful experience! Martin was kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable, and took amazing pictures for us! He met us at our hotel and brought us back at the end of the day. We never felt rushed and we all had such a great time! He even gave us detailed instructions to visit the escalator and Victoria’s Peak for the next day. We highly recommend booking with this company and you will be extremely happy with Martin as your guide!!
We did have some communication issues in getting the invoice for the tour; you do need to be patient in getting responses from the company. However, we were very glad we booked with them!! Thank you, Martin, for everything!! 💕🇺🇸

We had a wonderful time with Virginia! Our family only had a quick afternoon in Hong Kong and wanted to make the most of it. Virginia was able to accommodate our schedule, hitting highlights both in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and giving us an experience as only a local can. She was especially kind to our 9 year old son and found plenty to keep him engaged and entertained. I wish we had a whole week to spend with her and see everything!

Our tour with Virginia was fantastic! It was much more than just a food tour - a cultural experience and history lesson as well. Even though we have lived in HK for many years, we still discovered and learnt so much. Virgina is so knowledgeable and informative, and the food choices were on point! We went to some unique places where the food is still hand made in the traditional way, which is important in a world where so much of what we eat is mass produced. Highly recommend her tour for any visitor to HK, or even if you've been a local for many years. Simply one of the best food and cultural tours we've done in years.

Virginia is the best guide.
I joined her bespoke private tour, because in August she does not provide group tour, the heat is unbearable (that is coming from a tropical person who go out in the sun daily).
She actually had scheduled food and sight, but since I was more interested in food, so she showed me 7 food places and 2 wet markets.
She was very accomodating. She advised me on sayings about allergies in Cantonese.
All the food places she showed were cash or Octopus Card only. But the food were good and lasted 2 days without refrigiration.

My husband and I have had this on our Hong Kong bucket list for some time now. A move out of HKG accelerated our plan to make it happen. We are kicking ourselves that we did not do it sooner! Highly recommend to HongKongers and visitors alike! Great food and a unique experience.

Virginia was a warm, friendly, bubbly guide. We enjoyed the tour very much. It was a packed tour, with 3 ‘activities’: mini bus ride, visited Kowloon Walled City Park and watched a cute old man make a traditional fortune sign with the art of tearing paper, and 6 food stops! However it did not feel rushed, and we walked quite leisurely to get to the next food stop.
Come hungry. We tried Indonesian satay and ginger rice, Thai Larb Moo, Islamic Beef Sandwich/Bun, Chiu Chow noodles, Chinese Beef Brisket Noodles and Egg tarts. The eateries were food stalls, small local diners or part of a Government Market Complex. It showcases the diversity of what Hong Kong has to offer, beyond the standard dim sum and over priced tourist traps.
Combine delicious food with a dose of history, and local knowledge. Highly recommend!

Hi Bea H,
Apologies but the Q&A portion here is massively unorganized so I missed this message. Our website is down at the moment under construction, but SMGBostonMA is correct - you can message us via email, FB message or just book directly through our Eventbrite page as well =)

I was looking at the Dim Sum lunch tour... is that in Lin Heung? I would like to go there but im a little intimidated since i dont speak chinese and it looked really hectic when i saw it on travel network...not sure if its always that way.
Also there are no dates available for December, is it sold out or just havent put the schedule out yet?
Thank u
Written May 19, 2018
Hi shy m,
Apologies for being late to the party. Yes, it's Lin Heung & we have just extended it to Dec 16, 2018. We're contemplating some holiday plans so we're not able to commit yet for dates beyond that just yet. If you could just shoot as a quick email, we can update you when we know what our holiday schedule is. We can't put emails here, so rather cryptically it's info at humidwithachanceoffishballs period com

Hi My wife and I will be staying over in HK for three nights from 26th May, we are foodies and like the idea of sampling some really good food whilst there.
What can you suggest please?
Regards
Geoff
Written April 9, 2018
Hi Geoff,
Since we run food tours, we would suggest trying one of our food tours ;) Our Street Food Tour is currently our most popular, though the most unique dining experience dare I say in Hong Kong is going to be our Eat Seafood on a Sampan Boat experience. Our most common food experience is the dim sum which you can do on your own, but we go to a 1920's dimsum parlour, and if the reviews are any evidence, it's a place that requires you to be with a local to get the most out of the experience.
We're happy to give you more food suggestions during our food tours as well, but hey, we can't give the whole farm away on TripAdvisor right ;)

I took a tour with them last Nov. Dinner on a boat. I really enjoyed the food. Mostly seafood. Cooked by a family on a boat anchored next to it. The boat does not sail around the harbour you stay anchored. The guide was great.
