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!

We had an amazing 8-hour private tour with Karen in Hong Kong! It was incredibly interesting - we saw and learned so much. Karen answered every single question we had; she truly knows everything about the city. We had lunch in a wonderful local spot that only locals seem to know about, and most of the places we visited were authentic and non-touristy. The whole experience felt very personal, as Karen adjusted the route perfectly to our preferences. It was a top-level, personalized experience - highly recommended!
