5.00Interesting and lots to see. Tram was amazing. Saw link dolphins on our boat ride. Big Buddha was amazing- just a lot of steps!
Disappointed and disjointed

1.00The tour is disjointed, disorganised and disappointing. The tour guide has too many people with different types of tickets and activities, different languages to translate everything and it got so confusing we nearly missed a bus! Speaking of transport: you catch a bus and then queue for ages with your "fast track" ticket, then get on a super long cable car, to then catch a bus down the mountain to Tai O fishing village to then catch another bus back up the hill, to get back on the cable car to catch a bus back..... exhausting!!! This could be som much easier managed!!! Tai O is a trap! Yes it was quaint and different but certainly not what I expected from hen I read the tour itinerary. The tour needs to be run in a smaller group, or there needs to be more than one guide. It was an impossible task for our poor guide to help us all.
Very nice day trip.

4.00After a bus ride of about 30 minutes we arrived on Lantau island on the cable car. Obtaining a bracelet and lining up to the cabin does take some time. The ride with the cable car is very nice and offers very nice views. Once upstairs we first did a short bus ride to the Tai-O fishing village. Very nice to walk around in for an hour. Then the bus back to visit the Beautiful P Lin Monastery. After visiting the monastery, you can climb the stairs to the big Buddha. Ok inside/under the Buddha you can walk around. Then the cable car back, where you had the choice to upgrade to a shared full glass cabin (also glass floor) or a private cabin. We chose the shared glass cabin. Definitely recommended for the small extra cost. You have the option to book a luch in advance. Don't do that! No value for money and at the locations you can choose and buy what you want. Very nice day trip.
Great variety of activities - well organised!

5.00Well organised tour. Skipping the line at the cable car was so important. Our guide, Rex, was friendly and communicated well so where knew where to be and when. A good amount of free time to wander. The meal at the monastery was generous too. Strongly recommend taking the optional boat ride to the stilt houses and dolphins - only $50HKD

4.00This was a good trip with variety. The cable car had amazing views and skip the line meant little to no wait. Tai O was interesting but if you didn't do the optional boat tour you would end up with far too much free time - I don't know why they don't just add this in as we did see pink dolphins making it a highlight. Big Buddha was interesting but as multiple groups were doing different things (food/no food) there was again too much free time. I decided to just get the metro back on my own from the cable car as I really didn't want to do the souvenir store- and I am glad I didn't as I got stuck on that today ...... Check in for the tour is chaotic as there are several groups doing different things.
Great Tour

Anne is great tour guide

5.00Anne was absolutely wonderful. She had a lot of information and was very specific in her instructions. I learned a lot about Hong Kong. A couple of people on tour did not follow her instructions and did hike to Budha before lunch. She was very nice in that she saved them a "to go" lunch but they were very upset - Not sure why - they hiked the steps and still got their lunch. I loved the fishing village portion of tour with boat ride!!!!!!
Very professional

4.00Tai O fishing village really interesting. Optional boat tour well worth the additional cost. Cable car was great. Optional lunch at monastery was good. Tour guide was difficult to understand. At end of tour went to a jewelry store that was not on tour description. It felt like a shake down. None of the tour guests wanted to be there. It added an hour to the published ending time which no one appreciated.

5.00Pearline and Jackie are excellent tour guides - we especially like Jackie's infectious smile and laugh! The tour was very well run, and informative. Highly recommend taking the Crystal cable car on the way down - it's well worth it!
