Pinky was amazing!! She took me through all the highlights of Hong Kong, both modern and traditional, told me a lot about the history, the local life and the people. She was very accommodating to my requests, stopped for me to take photos, held the umbrella and took me to a beautiful flower market when I told her I needed to buy fresh flowers. She also took me to a souvenir market and even bargained the prices for me. Very nice and pleasant company too, we talked a lot as she guided me through everything. At the end, she ended the tour in a spot where I could wait for the Uber back to the ferry station and made sure I got in the car safely before leaving. 10/10, thank you for showing me the beauty of Hong Kong and making things easy for me.

Mark Chan (guide) customized this 8 hour experience and was flexible during the tour to maximize our time. I very much appreciated that. His personal contact beforehand to get a feel for what I wanted was important. He also had prepaid cards for transportation and at the conclusion of our time it was easy to settle up on the expenses.

Your questions, answered
Is this a traditional tour?
No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.
How does personalization work?
After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.
Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?
Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.
Will I know my itinerary in advance?
Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!
Are food and drinks included, or do I need to pay separately?
Unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included. Your host will take you to great spots where you can order what you like and pay as you go.
Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?
No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.
Can we explore outside the main city?
Yes! If you’re interested in day trips or exploring beyond the city, let us know in the post-booking questionnaire, and your host will design an itinerary that takes you to incredible places off the usual tourist path.
Can I change the meeting place?
Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.
Can my host meet me at my accommodation?
Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
