Fantastic Lantau Island Experience – Highly Recommend

5.00Fantastic Lantau Island Experience – Highly Recommend We had an excellent day exploring Lantau Island and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. From start to finish, everything was very well organised, and tailored to what we wanted to see. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging throughout the day. They shared great insights into Hong Kong’s culture and history, which really brought each stop to life. We never felt rushed, and the pace of the tour was perfect. The itinerary was fantastic. Highlights included the Big Buddha, Ngong Ping, and Tai O fishing village. Having private transport made a big difference, allowing us to cover a lot comfortably and efficiently. The cable car experience and scenic views were a real standout. What impressed us most was the flexibility and attention to detail. Our guide was happy to adjust the day to suit our preferences and made sure we were comfortable at all times. Overall, this was one of the best experiences of our trip to Hong Kong. If you’re considering a tour of Lantau Island, I would highly recommend this one, it’s well worth it.
Worth every moment!

5.00Absolutely wonderful experience. Laura and Yung went out of their way to make our trip to Hong Kong an unforgetable adventure. We have very limited mobility and they went over and beyond to help us. Thank you 1 million times. Highly recommended experience.

5.00I highly recommend this experience. Nicole is an exceptional tour guide. She was very friendly, organised, knowledgeable and engaging. Everything we did was amazing - the old fishing village, the cable car, visiting the big buddha, going out on the boat and anything else I missed. The pace was perfect, we did not feel rushed. As we are a gluten free family, Nicole kindly advised us on restaurants which we could dine at. Nicole and the very friendly driver dropped us off at the end of the day where we wanted to spend the evening. All in all, our best day in Hong Kong!
Pink Dolphins!

5.00This tour was really unbelievable. Stephen picked us up at the airport ten minutes ahead of time, taught us some of the history and culture of Hong Kong, answered constant questions and made our day long tour an amazing experience. I really can’t have imagined it being any better…..and get this….we saw many pink dolphins!! After we got back to the airport, Stephen sent us a highlight video of our trip! What a kind, caring soul. We are lucky to not only have him as a tour guide, but that we got to meet him and learn about his family. Stephen, best of luck to you and your growing family;)

Exceptional Lantau Excursion

5.00The "touring" part of Lantau is probably pretty standard, but Amy just knew how to handle everything! She made sure our Ngong Ping cable car wasn't plastered with stickers, which would have impeded the view. At the Big Buddha, since my husband couldn't really negotiate the 289 steps, she arranged transport to the top with the monks (but she ran up the steps)! In Tai O, we had a delightful lunch off the beaten track, even washing our dishes in hot water before eating...old style! Amy was an absolute delight and our group would wholeheartedly recommend planning any excursion with her. We were picked up in Macau...spent the day in Lantau and dropped off in Hong Kong which gave us an extra day in HK. She arranged it seamlessly so we never had to touch or think about our luggage.
Our Hong Kong Big Buda Adventure

5.00Our first time visiting beautiful Hong Kong! Spent a day with Stephen from Hong Kong Greeters — such a terrific choice! A private car whisked us from downtown Kowloon to a Ngong Ping glass bottom cable car, arriving at the iconic Big Buda temple complex. Stephen had a wonderful way of weaving history, culture and humor on our visit. We moved on to the fishing village of Tai O, where our guide’s family were from, sharing local stories, food and culture. A ‘not to be missed’ experience! Many thanks!
Wonderful Adventure with Hong Kong Greeters

5.00I had a great time on the Lantau Island. The transport was comfortable and on time, making the day stress-free. Our English-speaking guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting stories about the island. We visited beautiful spots like the Big Buddha and Tai O village, and the pace felt just right. I’d recommend this tour to anyone wanting a personal and easy way to explore Lantau!
