What To Expect
Peak Tram
Riding the iconic Peak Tram is one of the most unforgettable experiences in Hong Kong. As part of your tour, you'll board this historic funicular railway—operating since 1888—and ascend steeply through the city’s forested hillside. The short but thrilling ride offers an incredible visual illusion where skyscrapers appear to lean at impossible angles, creating the famous “tilted” effect that amazes first-time riders.
Victoria Peak (The Peak)
At the summit, you'll arrive at Victoria Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island. From the Sky Terrace 428 viewing platform (optional), take in sweeping, postcard-perfect views of the city's skyline, Victoria Harbour, and even Kowloon in the distance. Your guide will share stories about the area’s colonial past, local legends, and how the Peak evolved from a colonial enclave into a modern symbol of Hong Kong. You’ll also have time for photos, a short walk along the Peak Circle Walk (optional), or a quick visit to shops and cafes before continuing your journey through Hong Kong.

5.00This walking gave us a true sense of Hong Kong today. Exploring the city’s highlights, shopping in street markets like a local, tasting delicious dim sum, and traveling by buses and trams made the experience both unique and authentic. Our guide’s personal insights made the day even more special.
Recommended tour!!

5.00Had an amazing tour with our personal guide, Aimee, who made the experience truly special! We enjoyed local food, traveled on public transport like locals, and took in stunning views. Aimee shared fascinating insights into the city’s history and culture from a local perspective—highly recommended!

Disappointing

1.00Very disappointing. Not told it was actually a walking/shopping tour! We informed our guide who walked us to a bus stop and the three of us boarded a bus until she realised we were on the wrong bus (we’d asked to go to the Peak). We then caught a taxi with her which went in the opposite direction and finally arrived at the right spot. We paid for the three of us on both occasions. Asked to go on the fenicular/cog tram.. She couldn’t find it but we did. Then tried to find the Star Ferry from the tram and after 45 minutes of walking it was obvious she was lost AGAIN. We said we would go our own way and caught a taxi back to our hotel. Our 8 hour tour of beautiful Hong Kong ended after 3 1/2 hours, thirsty, hungry and frustrated. I’m so for this review but after 45 years of travel I had never had cause to complain but thought you should be informed!! A$900 for the two of us plus extra money she asked us to pay.

Unforgettable Hong Kong Tour with an Amazing Guide!

5.00Our Hong Kong Highlights tour was absolutely incredible, all thanks to our guide, Ben! He is professional, knowledgeable, and has a great personality that made the whole day so much fun. From the Peak Tram to the Star Ferry and the local markets, Ben shared fascinating stories and insider tips that we would have never found on our own. What truly sets him apart is that he even took the time to capture wonderful videos for us, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment while knowing our memories were being recorded beautifully. If you’re looking for a guide who goes the extra mile and genuinely cares about your experience, I highly recommend Ben. He truly helped us become the "better versions of ourselves" through this inspiring journey. Thank you, Ben, for an unforgettable day!
A day best spent in Hong Kong

5.00Had an amazing day with Ben and a perfect way to spend a layover in Hong Kong. We explored the city and the weather was on point. We didn’t have to think about a single aspect which was perfect. Without Ben I don’t think we would have ventured through the city or been able to figure out transport because we were so tired from the first flight. Highly recommend the tour if you want a taste of Hong Kong and don’t want to sit in the airport the whole time.

4.00Hong Kong is a wonderful city to visit and this tour gives a nice overview of the sights. We especially enjoyed going on Peak tram. The view at the top was beautiful on such a nice, sunny day. The lunch was delicious as well. Unfortunately it was tough for our guide to help us navigate around with our wheelchair-bound son, but otherwise it was an enjoyable experience.
Great flexible day out

5.00As it was our first time in Hong Kong my friend and I decided to book a full day tour to see the highlights of the city, our guide Ben was very professional and welcoming, it was refreshing to spend the day with such an interesting and courteous young man. Ben took us round a few highlights but was conscious not to duplicate anything we had already seen on previous days we had spent in the area, we had some free time and on our request Ben took us to the large Apple Store and a good quality jewellers (so we could take advantage of the tax free shopping in Hong Kong). We ended the day at around 6.30pm way beyond the stated 5pm but Ben stuck with us taking us all the way back to our hotel safely. We had a great time and the instructions and communication before the tour were all in order, thanks so much 🙏
