My name is Karen and I was born and raised in Hong Kong, so I I know it inside out. This city is such a wonderful place where eastern culture meets that of the west. I enjoy being part of the energetic, fast paced, and fun city-life. I always pay attention to the changes happening here and spend my free time finding new restaurants for food, new places for shopping, and new things to do for fun. Many travellers visiting HK only touch the surface of the city, but I can offer you more. I’m an easy-going and patient problem solver with good listening skills. I’m also a certified make-up artist and skincare consultant, so all beauty-related questions are welcome. I enjoy showing the many sides of this city to people, and I'm sure I'll have a plan for your visit!

My reviews

Even though our tour started a little late (it was the ship's fault!), Karen was a great tour guide and was so flexible and accommodating! She was very knowledgeable and answered our million and one questions. I had made a primary to-see list, as well as a secondary list, and in 6 hours we saw almost everything on the two lists. The only thing we missed was the peak, but it was such a foggy day, we wouldn't have been able to see anything anyway! Karen took us on a ferry, the metro, and one of the funky trams. And, to top it all off, at the end of the tour she took us to a local place where we could sit and eat some dim sum, and made sure we knew how to get back to our ship afterwards! I would highly recommend one of these tours, and ask for Karen!

Karen was an excellent guide, we crammed loads into 6 hours, using ferry, tram and MRT. We learned loads about life in Hong Kong and went to places we never would have found on our own.
