Amazing!!! Thank you Alfred for the perfect "real" Hong Kong tour - giving my family a taste of Hong Kong life away from the usual touristy spots. Alfred started with with careful consultation of what we wanted to see and then tailored an itinerary to fit those requests. However, he was also flexible on the day and tweaked some of the tour which was just spot on. Highly recommended :-)
Show moreKaren was our tour guide, and the focus of the highlights tour was local orientation in Hong Kong. She did an excellent job helping us navigate trains and trolleys while introducing us to key areas we could easily return to on our own. We visited major local sites, including a shrine and a jailhouse museum, and walked through antique alleyways and food markets. A quick bathroom stop along the way was appreciated. A real bonus was Karen’s clear, step-by-step instructions for getting to the Peak Tram. The directions were spot-on and gave us the confidence to make the trip independently. One consideration for future participants is walking pace. Those who don’t live in walking-focused cities may find the pace faster than expected, reflecting the rhythm of a busy urban environment. This is worth noting on the request form when signing up. This was not a tour guide issue—simply an age-related consideration for us.
Show moreExcellent tour with Benny. The questionnaire before the tour allowed the guide to cater the tour towards your interests. I had limited time in Hong Kong so it was the ideal tour for me.

What you’ll do

In just a few hours, you could fall in love with street food favorites like pineapple buns and fish balls, and it won’t be long until you’ve got a firm grip on wholesome Hong Kong and all its transport options. We’ve got you covered - you’ll be a city slicker in no time!
