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

Karen gave us a great taster tour of Hong Kong. As well as taking us to parts of the city we would not have found ourselves she gave us invaluable hints and tips for the rest of the trip. These included how to use the public transport, other places to visit and places to eat. Really worthwhile experience.

It’s basically how to navigate through the subways. We learned so much! Karen did an excellent job teaching us!

Karen gave a fabulous tour with so many places with her thorough explanations and history. She was great at moving us along when we needed to so we can see so many fascinating things. She packed a lot in our 4 hours! Very personable and kind and gave us information on social issues in Hong Kong. Great tour! We are very happy!
