What To Expect
Hong Kong
As keen explorers ourselves we know that it is often difficult to know what to see and do, especially in cities like Hong Kong where there are endless possibilities. Take a private customised walking tour and we will put an itinerary together that ensures you see the things that will interest you the most and at a pace that suits you. Our half-day private custom tour of Hong Kong lasts 5 hours. You can start your tour at any time from 8 am to 6 pm allowing you to book a day tour or a night tour. We will design a bespoke itinerary, based on your preferences, that ensures that you see the things that will interest you the most. We can combine some of the must see’s like Victoria Peak and riding the Star Ferry with something a little more off the beaten track to ensure that you see Hong Kong for what it really is; a city of contrasts where the metropolis sits side by side with national parkland, where the super-wealthy walk shoulder to shoulder with people living in poverty, it is a city where east truly does meet west like in no other. If you are a foodie but do not want to do our full food tour we can combine foodie elements into your tour, ensuring that you still get a wonderful mouthwatering taste of Hong Kong. If you would like to pick up some souvenirs en route we can show you our favourite markets. Or perhaps you have something specific which you would like to buy, let us know and we will make sure that you do not leave Hong Kong without it. Perhaps you are a budding photographer and would like to visit the most photogenic locations, we can do that too, just let us know!

Overpriced tour where we only visited Victoria Peak and missed everything else.

2.00It's very rare I give a poor rating but this trip deserved it. The 2 stars are purely for our tour guide's knowledge. We had Sinclair and he certainly knew everything about Hong Kong. That's the good bit out of the way. Now for the not so good. We paid a lot more money for this trip compared to similar ones and it definitely was not worth it. We clearly stated where we wanted to go which was all the touristy bits, nothing out of the ordinary. We failed to be taken to most of them. We didn't do any market, the avenue of the stars and Bruce Lee statue, the escalator, the star ferry, the laser show and the tram. You might now be asking what did we actually do. We did Victoria peak by bus where we had to stand for nearly an hour and that was about it. We had booked on a public holiday which we did not know about but our tour guide and company certainly did but made no allowance for. I asked to go into a pharmacy and Sinclair said no, there was a better one. We never went to this better one. We asked to try egg tarts and duck. We never got to try either. We told the tour company we were only in Hong Kong for 2 days and I feel that they wasted that day for us. You may think I'm one of those people who moans about everything. Well the next day we went on a 7hr tour to Lang Tau Island with Grace. It was much cheaper and it was brilliant. I would definitely recommend it. Grace is brilliant. In future book one of the cheaper tours and take your chance. It might be good.

5.00Mel was amazing! He went at our pace which is quick as we had a short amount of time in Hong Kong but wanted to make the most of it. He asked what we wanted to do as well as gave recommendations then we came up with a plan together and made it happen. We visited beautiful gardens, temples, sites, and mixed in even errands we had to run. Mel was perfect. Thank you as I’m not sure our short trip could’ve been better!
Excellent

5.00This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Sinclair. He was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke excellent English. He pointed out major sites and talked about the culture and history of Hong Kong. Additionally, he took many photos of us while visiting famous sites, and sent the pictures to us at the end of the tour. I highly recommend this tour and try to ask for Sinclair.
