What you’ll do

Your local insider will lead you on the best conceivable route through Hong Kong, from the tip of Victoria Peak to the churning shoreline of Kowloon City, introducing you to secluded gems and unique flavors and scenes along the way, like Dragon’s Back, a surreal urban hike. In Central District, you’ll come face to face with Asia’s financial giant, and our guides know all its secrets, like seeing it from another angle aboard a Chinese junk boat in Victoria Harbor. You could grab a bite at the Kam Wah cha chan teng streetside eatery, sampling egg tarts and fish balls, or, if you’re bold, why not sip on snake soup or peck on some chicken feet among the medicine vendors of rustic Sheung Wan?

Reviews

    We had an amazing time. Our guide, Simon, was excellent, very knowledgeable and personable. Very accommodating to our requests. We definitely had a personalized experience.

    I did an 8-hour tour with Simon. He kept a very good pace and adjusted the plans on the go depending on my preferences and the time available. As a result, we covered far more than I could have done on my own, with the added bonus of interesting information and conversation. Definitely worth it.

    Wonderful day in Hong Kong with Jon as our guide. We explored everything from markets to monasteries and had a Michelin Star lunch.

    Jon was a great guide. He met us in the hotel lobby and quickly got us into a cab and off to the morning markets before grabbing lunch at a Michelin Star restaurant. We then took a train and cable car to the big Buda and monastery. After some souvenir shopping Jon made sure we got back to our starting point on the train. We had a great time.
