Benny was a terrific guide. He gave us clear directions on how to get to the meeting place and arrived cheerfully and promptly. Even though we only had a few hours to spend, we felt like we got a very well-rounded taste of Hong Kong. We would definitely ask for Benny again the next time we visit--hopefully for a longer stay.

Wow. Alex was among the best guides we've ever had. around the world. He was totally flexible with our timing and location, and he had put a lot of thought into what to show us in that area. We had a great exposure to a Hong Kong you don't get in the standard group tour: Goldfish Street, the Jockey Club, information on mahjong parlors and fortune tellers at the market. He helped us pick out street food on Temple Street, took us into the Peninsula Hotel and relayed interesting WWII stories. We went over our time, and he didn't blink. Even gave my friend and I roses for Mother's Day. Just a sweet, kind, caring guide with an impeccable professional attitude.

Robert has a wealth of knowledge and was able to answer all our questions and share many interesting facts about Hong Kong, its architecture, history, and daily life. The tour felt like it was tailored just for us—we saw exactly what we had requested in the form. It was great to start off by visiting Wan Chai, a place we probably wouldn’t have seen without our tour guide.

My wife and I had a wonderful afternoon with Benny, exploring both sides of the Harbour, learning history, seeing the sights and getting comfortable with all the modes of public transportation. Benny also gave us great recommendation for further sightseeing in and around Hong Kong. We ended our day at a casual but Michelin rated and delicious dumpling restaurant. Benny was so friendly and gave a great tour, and pointed out special stops off the tourist path that we would have never found ourselves. Highly recommend!
