A must do activity in Hong Kong. My guide, Liz, was a true gem, with vast knowledge and a very pleasant demeanor. She created an itinerary that perfectly matched what I had in mind, and was extremely attentive and enthusiastic the whole time.

There are a lot of options when booking a tour in Hong Kong, we count ourselves lucky to have booked with Jacky. From my initial message/inquiry, Jacky responded quickly, answered my questions and worked around my concerns with timing and what I wanted from a tour. We had an 18 hour layover, decided to spend the night at a hotel in Hong Kong, and wanted to spend the following day touring Lantau island before boarding our flight. Jacky recommended start times, and planned the day according to what we wanted to see and our flight out. He picked us up at our hotel and kicked off our tour in the financial district, sharing the history of Hong Kong before heading over to Lantau island. We had adverse weather the day of our tour, but it didn’t deter him. Jacky monitored the weather on his phone, and timed the “downpours” to coincide with driving so that every “break” in the weather landed us at our next destination. The man is a pro! Jacky has a passion for Hong Kong, its culture, its past, and its future. We learned so much during our time with him. It wasn’t just about taking photos or enjoying iconic sites, we learned about the culture and history of the sites we visited. Our time with Jacky was more than I could have hoped for and became a highlight of our trip to Asia. It’s always a surprise when an experience surpasses your expectations because of the effort of one specific person who goes out of their way to make it special. I know there is a tendency to book tours based off price, Jacky’s Lantau tour wasn’t an inexpensive option. But, there is a reason his Lantau tour costs a little more. He’s able to drive on permitted roads, eliminating the need for public transportation, making your tour much more efficient. We wouldn’t have been able to see everything we saw in the time we had without that access. Also, this allowed us to leave our carry on luggage in his van while we toured sites. Jacky timed everything perfectly, getting us to the airport on time despite the weather and action packed itinerary of our tour. He even gave us direction on where to go once we entered the airport, eliminating what would have been confusing for us. If you’re looking to book a tour in Hong Kong, book with Jacky, you won’t be disappointed. He’s engaging, attentive, informative, and does his best to make sure you have a great tour of Hong Kong. When we find ourselves there again, we look forward to seeing more of the city with him.
Best way to see Lantu Island

Hands down best way to see Lantu Island, Jacky was a fantastic guide giving us tons of background history behind Lantu island. Had a comfortable drive to an old fishing village where we first got an informational walking tour & then a boat ride to see the rare pink dolphins and more of the village by boat. Then we were driven up to the Buddhist temple with a walking tour of the grounds before seeing the Buddha. Again Jacky took plenty of photos of the group and gave historical backgrounds behind Buddhism. Lastly we opted to add on the 360 box car to see spectacular views of the island. Where Jacky met us at the bottom and drove us back to the hotel. If you want to see the full island in comfort I recommend this as the tour to do.

Jacky was an excellent guide. As my wife was in a wheelchair, we comomunicated extensively prior to the tour to ensure that he could accomodate her needs. Jacky responded to all of my queries promptly and delivered as promised. The intinerary was appropriately adjusted to suit our needs and some challenging road conditions, and Jacky was very informative and friendly. I would highly recommend Jackly and will be using him again when we next visit Hong Kong
A Well Crafted Tour of Lantau Island

This was our second day with Jacky following our Hong Kong city tour. Another wonderful choice of tours. Rather than a transfer from the cruise ship to the airport for a five hour wait, we chose to take in the sites of Lantau Island with 'This is Asia' tours. Jacky picked us up and we had a leisurely drive on the island to visit beautiful beaches, a quaint fishing village, an inspiring temple and finally the Giant Buddha. It was a fabulous way to spend our time, yet see so much of the island. Jacky is so knowledgable and has a crafted route to see the sites. He is informative but doesn't bombard you with information or retain you in a place too long - just the right amount to get exactly what you need. We highly recommend his tours and wish we had several more days with him. Don't miss out on an exceptional opportunity. (trust me, we had just done three weeks of guided tours and Jacky was phenomenal in comparison!)
What a great day!

Liz was warm, friendly and was so informative. She talked along the way about Hong Kong and answered questions easily. She knew many people in Tai O and walked us through easily and helped us with a few little purchases and made sure to find us a few snacks to try along the way. She took pictures for us, and checked they were good. We climbed the Tian Tan, which wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated. It’s and incredible sight. The monastery was beautiful. All in all, a wonderful day. If you have any disabilities, let them know prior and you can get a ride nearly to the top of the Buddha, but it truly was worth climbing even if you’re not in the best shape.
See a lot in 5 hours. Plus walked up to see big Buddha

Jacky was very personable and easy to talk to. He had our day lined up perfect. He picked us up from Disney Hong Kong to go to cruise port. Along the way we saw big Buddha, Tai o fishing village, samples of local treats, kwan tai temple, & Starbucks at a shopping mall in Ngong Ping.
5-star Lantau tour with Jacky

This was the second consecutive day we toured with Jacky Wong. The day before we did a walking tour of Hong Kong (see separate review). We are a family of 6 ranging in age from 18-60 years old, each with our own preferences and interests. The Lantau driving tour was the perfect follow up from our previous city tour. We visited a fishing village, magnificent temples, beautiful beaches and the giant Buddha. Jacky continued to be the tour guide extraordinaire, engaging all of us with his knowledge of every site's history and significance in the local culture. By the end of the tour, we all agreed that we could not have wished for a better guide to show us in and around Hong Kong. Jacky left us all with valuable insights and a thorough understanding of what Hong Kong, Lantau and everything in-between are all about. We could not recommend him more highly.
Great service, very kind guide, fun!

Liz took care of all our needs! She was exceptionally kind, thoughtful to our needs, shared a lot of great information on the area. The tour was great, loved seeing the big buddah and the sky car ride was amazing. We didn’t have a lot of time in Hong Kong but Liz and our driver respected our time and schedule, and modified the tour so we made it to airport on time! 10/10 recommend!
