5.00A must if staying in Hong Kong a few nights. GL tours and our guide Ken, we’re very well organized. The only downside was the stop at a jewellery store at the end of the tour. It wasn’t necessary but we were told it was compulsory.

5.00Great, well organised and timed tour by Ken. Can't fault this tour, if you want a stress free tour of Lantou Island this is a great option. Be sure to choose the option with the return cable car and return to the city or arrange a train back to the city after the return cable car.
Big Buddha

5.00I had a very good day, we took a cable car up to the village Nyong Ping, from where the Tian Tan Buddha sits. Our tour guide was excellent, offered to take me back, but I decided I wanted to return by underground, so he gave me the directions, and off I went. I must say Hong Kong underground is fabulous. Another fabulous day with Viator thank you.
Mixed Grouping

4.00The trip was very good, however there was two different groups on the trip, we were together for some things then split into two groups one was taken back to city centre the other had to find their own way back, if you are not familiar with Hong Kong, it can be very stressful, we had to get the cable car down then find the MRT station and change 3 times to get to our hotel.
No Return Trip and Long Lines

1.00The tour advertised as skipping the line at the cable car but waited 90 minutes in line. Next we were told our tour did not include return transportation back to hotel. So we ended up leaving the tour and heading back via a taxi! Avoid Viator for this tour.
