An unreliable provider; I can only advise against it.

1.00I had booked the tour for May 13, 2026. When no one was in sight at the meeting point at 9:00 AM on the departure day, I contacted the provider through the chat function in the Viator app, but received no response. I then reached out to Viator, where they quickly took care of the matter, but only found out that the tour was canceled because the cable car was out of service. This was already clear at the time of booking. The description of the tour stated at the time of booking - I had taken a screenshot - 'Ngong Ping 360 will be temporarily suspended from May 12 to May 20 and from June 2 to June 21 due to scheduled maintenance.' During this time, the tour will travel to Lantau Island and Tai O by bus instead of by cable car. All guests will also enjoy a complimentary Chinese Pink Dolphin boat ride. Thank you for your understanding.' In this context, I find it extremely strange that the tour was canceled on the grounds that the cable car is not in operation. Even stranger, I find it that they did not consider it necessary to inform me in advance and that they had no words of regret or apology for me. Had I known in time that the tour was not taking place, I could have planned my day very differently, especially by booking another tour. Now I had no choice but to quickly look for alternative activities. Ultimately, it was a lost day for me.
Peter is great!

4.00Peter was excellent he shepherded us like sheep and kept us on track. My only problem is that we were told we were going to the cultural center at the very end of the tour, but all it really was was a very expensive store where they wanted us to buy very expensive jewelry
Give this tour a mis.

4.00Lovely day out. Was a little rushed at times. We opted for the lunch. I think this made time tight. We may have been better getting food on the hoof
Great Way To See The Big Budha.

4.00This was a very well organised tour with Ricky ensuring everyone was kept together and knew where to meet. It was very easy to get on the cable car with the fast pass, there were certainly long queues for normal tickets. There was enough time to see everything and the transfer to the fishing village and back was very well organised. The transport there and back to the Kowloon Hotel was also well organised, however I think the instructions to get to the meeting point should say that it is just off Nathan Road, not on it.

3.00It is a nice tour Avoid Sundays because the place is too crowded Something that I didn’t like is that you have one way priority access to cable car so on the way back the queue was a nightmare (and you get this information after the payment) Also skip the vegetarian lunch because is too expensive and there are a lot of other options
Good trip with great guides
