My reviews

I had a tour of Hong Kong provided by Milan. The day was extremely enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the dragon boat racing, the long escalator, various temples, Stanley beach and the tram ride. Milan was extremely knowledgeable about Hong Kong and how it is changing. I particularly enjoyed that we used buses and trams, as I have spent a lot of time on the MTR this week.

Malin is an exceptional guide. She’s knowledgeable and thoughtful. She showed so many parts of HK that I would never have visited. Highly recommmended!

I had a private food tour with Malin and had a lovely afternoon-it felt like wandering around with a friend, she was a wonderful guide. We did lots of walking which helped to balance out all the tasty food! Malin was very organised ahead of the tour, and I felt like she really personalised the trip according to my preferences. I definitely saw places I wouldn’t have visited and tried food I might have not thought about… she also gave me some great recommendations for the rest of my time in Hong Kong. This is a premium price, but given it’s a bespoke, 1:1 experience I think it was worth it.

This was so much better than sitting in the airport lounge! Our guide, Malin, was very knowledgeable and personable. We saw as much of Hong Kong as possible in our short time, from the panoramic city views atop Mt. Victoria to vibrant markets, malls, historical sites, and the authentic streets of Hong Kong. We even enjoyed some great food to top it off! We truly experienced the city, using all modes of transportation: ferries, taxis, buses, trains – you name it, we took it. Thank you, Malin!
