Amazing Day trip to the Big Bhudda and Tai O fishing village tour

5.00What a fantastic tour. Our tour guide Alexandra was knowledgeable on the local history, and the tour specific locations. Alexandra was extremely friendly and we had a lovely day out with her. The weather was really good which enhanced the cable car ride to Ngong Ping Lantau Island. The scenery was amazing. We climbed the steps to Big Bhudda to see the statue close up, and view the surrounding area. This was a Great experience. We then travelled in a taxi to Tai o fishing village. We took a scenic boat ride around the fishing village and out to the bay spotting pink dolphins. Unfortunately we did not see any, but it was still a wonderful experience. We had a walk around the small stalls selling locally dried fish, and had lunch in an authentic local restaurant. Would definitely recommend the Big Bhudda and fishing village tour to other travellers visiting Hong Kong with Alexandra.
A nice surprise

5.00We spent a great day on Lantau Island with Alexandra, an exceptional guide! Very professional and attentive, she was able to adapt to the rhythm of my parents, who are a little old, while sharing with us a multitude of interesting information. The visit to the Big Buddha and Po Lin Temple was fascinating, as was the discovery of the charming fishing village of Tai O. Alexandra also advised a local restaurant, whose simple appearance contrasted with the exceptional quality of the cuisine. An authentic and unforgettable experience that we highly recommend!

5.00This was a wonderful tour which gave us the opportunity to travel around Hong Kong using various forms of transportation without the worry of getting lost or stranded, as we had our very attentive, knowledgeable, and caring .guide. She told us about the culture and history of the area. We saw the Big Buddha and the Tai O fishing village where we had a boat ride. We had a good lunch and were shown how to use chopsticks. There was time to do some shopping. We rode a scenic 6 km cable car. We took a lot of photos and our guide also took quite a few for us. She made sure that we got back to our hotel safely.
