OVERVIEW + SCHEDULE

There are a lot of great free walking tours available in Hong Kong which cover several different subjects and multiple locations throughout the city.

Even the main city center tours available include stops at both historic attractions and information about the best street food in Hong Kong, providing details about various different topics.

There are also cultural tours that focus more on things like street art, religious sites, political and economic issues, and even the history of filmmaking in this city.

Finally, you may also want to see how Hong Kong changes after the sun goes down on a free night tour!

These are essentially pay-what-you-want walking tours, which means that you get to decide how much the tour was worth once it is finished.

According to online reviews, most tour guests appeared comfortable paying $10-$15 ($75-$115 HKD), and these tours are typically very well rated.

If you’re looking for an alternative with smaller groups, additional subjects, or different modes of transportation, there are several paid Hong Kong tours you may want to consider instead.
