I had a great tour with Benny. This is my first visit to Hong Kong. He guided me to interesting sites in the central area, we took the Star ferry ride to Kowloon;also learned great tips for navigating a Hong Kong on foot by Metro tram and bus, and he also helped me outline itineraries for the rest of my visit. He is very knowledgeable and this was a great way to start my visit to.

We had a layover in Hong Kong and were hoping for a quick tour to give us a more directed historical and cultural overview. We were able to set a specific time and also point to what we wanted to hear about. Karen was terrific as an energetic, super knowledgeable, flexible guide who accommodated our timeline, transportation needs and the rain throughout our time together (3 hrs). As a native Hongkonger, Karen had great insights and also was super open about answering any questions on any topic. We learned about the financial & tourism industry as well as parts of language, history and how the city has been changing and adapting to sutainability needs, and political/financial situations. We learned a lot and could have fit in even more if we had not asked her to direct us back through public transportation a bit early as we were worried about timing. Thanks Karen- this was a wonderful way to see Hong Kong.
