Hi, I’m Robert - a long-time Hong Kong local who never tires of discovering something new in this incredible city. What fascinates me most is how effortlessly Hong Kong blends movement and meaning. One moment you’re gliding across town on the MTR, the next you’re catching the breeze on a double-decker bus, watching the streets buzz with life. I love wandering through Central, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon City, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Wanchai, tracing how they evolve while still holding onto their roots. For me, Hong Kong’s magic lies in its contrasts - the temples beside glass towers, the festivals that honour the past amid a city racing toward the future. Sharing those layers and stories with visitors is what makes every day here feel new again.
Great experience with Robert. Very knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and flexible.

Robert met us this morning as planned at Statute Square, from the initial whatsapp messages a day before, offering advice and suggestions, we knew we were on to a good thing. We weren’t wrong. Robert picked some attractions and sights for us to see after a few short minutes chatting, his knowledge of Hong Kong is exceptional, being a Dutch national with exceptional English and as we learnt, Cantonese, German and Dutch he is the perfect tour guide of HK. I guess living here and offering tours for more than 40 years helps!! What a fount of knowledge. His understanding of Hong Kong and its history is unsurpassed, the descriptions given were articulate, concise where required and lengthy when needed. We visited temples, the Peak, the slow rollercoaster (Funicular) local bars, restaurants, subway, train, tram and even a bus and shown all the historical sights anyone could want with exceptional explanations. He even knew the names of the artists who painted the walls in and around the older parts of town. All we can offer is a huge thank you to Robert and advise any and all to take this unscripted tour of Hong Kong. It’s worth every penny (which isn’t too much to start with). We will see you again. Thanks Robert. Ian and Rob (from Ireland & England).

Robert was an outstanding tour guide that helped us make the most of our limited time in Hong Kong. My wife and I had a long layover and decided to do a 4 hour walking tour as we had never been to Hong Kong before. Robert was the perfect guide who is knowledgeable and passionate about this city he has called home for many years now. His english is perfect (maybe better than mine...) and he packed a lot into our tour. He is flexible and will customize the tour to your interests. Make sure to wear your comfortable walking shoes as you will definitely get your steps in!
