We gained absolutely interesting insights into Hongkong: The City, its rich history, culture and the situation of the LGBTQ community! Our guide Benita was so knowledgeable and we enjoyed every minute of the tour!
I have never had a tour such unique and interesting about this lesser-seen yet more authentic side of Hong Kong. I have to say that the tour is very informative - about the history and current situation of LGBT people in Hong Kong, of their fight against their rights and their backstories! Very grateful to have joined this themed tour hearing hidden stories and visiting spots which would not be written in the tour book normally, eg. visiting a gay club in LKF with detailed tour guide explanation :p
