Regene Li was fantastic! I had a bit of confusion finding the meeting spot, my suggestion would be to find a specific store rather than the MRT Station. (But that was my falut) Once we connected, it was a great tram ride, and walk through the fin district and historic streets to a temple. Once there Regene explained all of the symbolisms and more! From there we walked to the Star Ferry and went to one of the islands. We rounded out the day with a visit to a typical multi-level market were fish, meat and vegetables were being sold. Would definitely do this again! (Especially with Regene's suggestions for my next visit.)

Since it is a walking tour, it is very important to have the right guide. My guide, Grace was both knowledgeable about the current and historical aspects of the sites we visited but her presentation was interesting and engaging.

We had a fantastic 4-hour private tour of Hong Kong with Benny from City Unscripted. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible, adapting the itinerary to our interests by swapping the Mid-Levels Escalator for a visit to the beautiful Nan Lian Garden and Chi Lin Nunnery. In just a few hours, we explored Man Mo Temple, wandered through Sheung Wan, took the Star Ferry across the harbour, visited Nan Lian Garden, and experienced the energy of Mong Kok. Benny expertly guided us using Hong Kong's public transport system, helping us see far more than we could have on our own. His local insights, historical knowledge, and recommendations made the city come alive. We left with a much better understanding of Hong Kong and would highly recommend Benny to anyone looking for a personalized and authentic introduction to the city.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

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!

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

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.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

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.
