This tour is operated by our partner Hong Kong Free Tours.
Uncover the naked truth behind the glittering facade of Hong Kong on our Kowloon tour, an 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?
Our tour delves into the heart of Hong Kong’s capitalist system, giving you a first-hand look at the grim reality many of its citizens face. You’ll visit a subdivided unit in one of the city’s poorest districts, providing a stark contrast to the economic prosperity that seems so abundant.
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.
Tours in Hong Kong are offered by our partners, Hong Kong Free Tours. While you may not see the trademark SANDEMANs red umbrellas (look instead for the Hong Kong Free Tours yellow shirts or jackets), we only work with partners we know, trust, and who have been vetted by us to ensure they meet the same standards you are used to enjoying in SANDEMANs’ own cities. We are proud to partner with Citywalkers and are sure you’ll love their tours as much as we do!
