Our guide Benny did an amazing job! We were time limited so needed to visit as many attractions as we can and Benny gave us a fantastic tour. Perfect for what we were looking for which was a mix of touristy attractions and local places. He was very informative and provided great context on all the places we visited. Highly recommend!

Dennis was very friendly and welcoming. Our tour was just what we hoped for - an inside look at Hong Kong as presented by a knowledgeable local. Dennis had great insight into the customs and history of the city. He took us to very interesting locations and was able to share with us the significance and meaning of each. Dennis was very personable and within a few minutes of meeting him it felt like we were touring Hong Kong with a lifelong friend.

Ian Apr 2025

Pinky was an excellent guide. So friendly and chatty and she spoke perfect English. She was very engaging and told us many interesting stories about Hong Kong and the places we visited. She helped us by purchasing Octopus cards so the remainder of our holiday was easy to get around. She even gave us a gift as it was our wedding anniversary which was unexpected and very kind of her. I would highly recommend anyone taking a tour with Pinky.
