Sail Across Victoria Harbour

See the skyline from the water on a classic ferry ride.

Hong Kong’s Must-Sees & Hidden Gems: A Day Designed for You

Start your day aboard the Star Ferry from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui. Feel the breeze, spot skyline icons, and maybe grab an egg tart or milk tea along the way.

Skyline Views from a Hidden Perspective

Choose between the Avenue of Stars or a rooftop café.

Take in cinematic harbor views at the Avenue of Stars, or let your host guide you to a peaceful rooftop garden or quiet terrace café for a more serene skyline moment.

Find a Hidden Temple or a Peaceful Teahouse

Step into incense-filled calm or sip tea tucked away.

Pause for reflection at a tucked-away temple lined with fortune tellers, or enjoy the slower rhythm of a local teahouse serving classic milk tea and quiet conversation.

Markets & Local Streets: Energy or Escape?

Neon-lit chaos or a calm corner to unwind—you decide.

Dive into Mong Kok’s market maze, packed with vendors and neon, or veer off to a low-key nook where locals sip tea and time slows down. Your host reads the mood.

Victoria Peak—The View, Without the Crowds

Hike, ride, or relax—there’s more than one way up.

Skip the Peak Tram line and take a local minibus or scenic path. If views are all you’re after, your host might reveal a quiet lookout only locals know.

Choose Your Ending: Art, Reflection, or Food

Wrap up with what inspires you—culture, calm, or cuisine.

End your day at Tai Kwun’s art spaces, a quiet temple with swirling incense, or a local dai pai dong where sizzling dishes and neighborhood stories are always on the menu.

Nik was an exceptional guide who planned a fantastic day tour based on our preferences and the weather conditions of the day. It was a really memorable tour. Thank you.

Delvon Oct 2025

We really enjoyed the opportunity to see so much in the allotted time. We also appreciate the knowledge our tour guide had. He was listening to us as we went and was able to design the day specifically for our interests. That was one of the most fully encompassing tours we’ve ever taken.

Milan was a lovely guide, helping me spend my layover like a local. She sent a questionnaire in advance to ensure the tour met my exceptions - which it did - and regular communication leading up to the tour. Milan was very knowledgeable and adaptable as we went through the day. I saw everything I was hoping to in Hong Kong, and learnt quite a bit about current local culture. Thank you Milan!

Malin was a phenomenal guide. She recommended an itinerary based on my preferences, was flexible and adjusted throughout the day, shared amazing insights on Hong Kong and took me to places I never would have found on my way. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

Are food and drinks included, or do I need to pay separately?

Unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included. Your host will take you to great spots where you can order what you like and pay as you go.

Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?

No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.

Can we explore outside the main city?

Yes! If you’re interested in day trips or exploring beyond the city, let us know in the post-booking questionnaire, and your host will design an itinerary that takes you to incredible places off the usual tourist path.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
