5.00Our guide Stephanie, took us on a tour of Hong Kong, introduced us to its history from the opium wars to the return to China and the current geopolitical situation. Victoria Peak, the Tram, the Ding Ding, the "Lane", the Square Statue, the Central District.... a busy and very rewarding day. Stephanie is passionate and shares her experience of these places. Stephanie sent us a very detailed account of that day, which we appreciated. Thanks a lot. We will not fail to recommend "Hong Kong à la carte" to our loved ones who want to go discover HK. Nice discovery.
Thoroughly enjoyable, highly professional, and loads of information.

5.00I spent a very full day with Alexandra and she sets the gold standard as a well-organized, professional guide. She is pleasant, easy to be with and attuned to my curiosity and interests about this unique city. She is loaded with information about architecture, feng shui, religious temples and history. She navigates through the crowds with aplomb to make traveling through the city very easy. She shared helpful tips as I was preparing to do some sightseeing on my own. As a solo traveler, these things were very important to me. I was amazed she sent me a recap of our day tour together. I’ve never had a guide do that for me.I can’t recommend HK à la carte highly enough.
Active way to see and learn about Hong Kong!

5.00I highly recommend this tour company! Stephanie guided us on a wonderful day of hiking and exploring in Hong Kong. My husband and I are in Hong Kong for the first time and wanted to explore something other than shopping malls. Hong Kong is beautiful with the mountains and water. The trip by subway, bus, taxi was seamless. Along the hike, she shared her knowledge and love of Hong Kong. Swimming in the China Sea was a highlight followed by a delicious lunch on the beach. Sharing the trail with the local cows and school groups added to the adventure. We loved it so much we booked another hiking tour with Hong Kong à la Carte before we leave!
We Thought We Knew Shenzen. We Didn’t

5.00Eight well travelled HK ladies ( origin countries Switzerland, South Africa, the US, UK and Australia) spent a day in and around Shenzen with expert guide Stephanie and learnt A LOT. We also had a lot of giggles and finished the day with guided bargain shopping at Lowu commercial centre. From delicious robot prepared coffee to 700 AD ancient city walls and pretty old Hakka villages, we spanned centuries in what is now the most digitised city on the planet. It would not have been possible without Stephanie. She organised our fast train tickets, got us taxis on the ground, adapted the itinerary as necessary and provided wonderful insights. Extra points for good public toilets! Thank you Stephanie
5-star, 5-hour tour of Hong Kong by Alexandra

5.00Our 5-hour tour of Hong Kong's central city was hosted by Alexandra and we can't recommend her enough. She provided us with just the right amount of history of the country and the places we visited - not too little to be superficial, and not too much to be boring. She was articulate, knowledgeable and she was very accommodating of our needs. Five stars...!

5.00I took a custom tour from Hong kong to Shenzen and it was brilliant. I honestly could not have done it myself because venturing into China on your own for the first time is extremely daunting. Stephanie was very knowledgeable on everything and she provided me with the ample historical context to understand properly China. Plus she is fun and beware she loves hiking so she can walk you anywhere!
Pleasant day , guide listening to the wishes of the client , day rich in surprising discovery

5.00Stephanie was an exceptional guide for our tour to Lantau. She met us at our hotel and guided us through the local transportation to see many stunning sights. She was very knowledgeable, not only about getting around, but in local customs and history. We had many questions and appreciated her insights. Big Buddha did not disappoint and the pink dolphins were active and beautiful. We especially enjoyed the walk through the village and lunch at a local café. Thanks for a great day, Stephanie.
