Jorge Feb 2025

I had to stop for 8 hours in Hong Kong for layover and I decided to take a tour with my guide Donald. It was a great experience walking in Hong Kong, I will definitely recommend it.

Andrea Dec 2024

Benny was excellent about communication from the onset. He asked for our preferences, got our flight info, and was waiting for us when we exited customs in Hong Kong. We used the metro, buses and walked everywhere with him, and he provided a wealth of information without being too effusive. He even rode back on the airport express with us to make sure we got back through security to make our connection. We couldn’t asked for a better guide. We’re already working on our next trip yo Hong Kong, and we’ll definitely use him, again. We highly recommend him!

We had a lovely time. Our tour guide was amazing. The restaurant she suggested was so authentic, reasonably priced and delicious. All the markets we visited were interesting. We would highly recommend this tour and Angel our tour guide they met our expectations.

Evangaline our guide was a star. We had a day layover to spend in Hong Kong. She customized our tour to suit our requirements. She took us to lovely local restaurants and suggested meals which we really enjoyed. We saw and did way more than if we had navigated the city on our own. Would definitely recommend this company and guide.
