What you'll do

Your local insider will lead you on the best conceivable route through Hong Kong, from the tip of Victoria Peak to the churning shoreline of Kowloon City, introducing you to secluded gems and unique flavors and scenes along the way, like Dragon’s Back, a surreal urban hike. In Central District, you’ll come face to face with Asia’s financial giant, and our guides know all its secrets, like seeing it from another angle aboard a Chinese junk boat in Victoria Harbor. You could grab a bite at the Kam Wah cha chan teng streetside eatery, sampling egg tarts and fish balls, or, if you’re bold, why not sip on snake soup or peck on some chicken feet among the medicine vendors of rustic Sheung Wan?

Where you’ll go

On Hong Kong Island, where gleaming skyscrapers stand out against the mountainous Victoria Peak, you could explore Central and see the city’s contrasts for yourself. Witness traditional Chinese junk boats glide past futuristic tower blocks in Victoria Harbor or perhaps head further east to neighboring areas like Sheung Wan, a working-class district that shelters rich traditions. You could explore a mainland district like Kowloon, where Asian influences permeate architecture and cuisine, while the New Territories further north remain far more rural. Your host will show you Hong Kong at its best, from rustic communities and hamlets like Sham Shui Po to the neon light show observed from Victoria Harbor every single night.

Reviews

    Victor met me at the Disneyland Hotel, which meant a lot as I traveled solo. One thing I did not expect is the extensive survey you get to match you with a guide. We went to The Peak and even visited Monopoly Dreams (I am big into board games). Taking a few different trains was great, as I am also a train buff. He also found places to eat since I am Vegan. Lastly, he made suggestions for the rest of my stay, and he did not feel like a guide but a friend.

    Cosmo was an amazing guide! He was knowledgeable and entertaining. Teaching us about the culture and the people while still making us laugh. We enjoyed our day and he gave valuable tips that will help us make the most of our time in Hong Kong. He prepared a great day with a good mixture of iconic spots and local off the beaten path places that we would have never found on our own. He was punctual and super friendly, answering all our questions and adapting the itinerary to meet our needs. Definitely recommend!

    Cosmo was great! He prepared a great day for us with a good mixture of iconic spots and more local off the beaten path places. He answered all our questions and provided valuable information that will help us enjoy our time in Hong Kong. He was knowledgeable and entertaining; we learned a lot about the people and the culture but still had many laughs and enjoyed our day. He adapted to our needs and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Overall amazing experience, definitely recommend him.

    I only had a weekend in Hong Kong and had to make the most of it. I met Edward right on time Saturday morning. He was easy to talk with and made every attempt to customize my experience to what I wanted to do and see. He felt more like a friend showing me around than a tour guide. His expertise added tremendously to my understanding of the city and it's history. I'll keep those positive memories for a long time.
