If at all possible, book your Hong Kong tour with Regene. She was terrific! We had no real set plans or ideas of what we wanted to see or do while in Hong Kong for a couple days, but she helped craft a perfect agenda that melded main attractions and hidden gems. The main attractions felt like "must do's" but the hidden gems gave us deeper understanding and appreciation for how everyday life in Hong Kong plays out (go to a Wet Market - nothing but locals and a fascinating look at how people shop for some of their food). Regene moved us right along all day at a pace we loved. Her English is outstanding, her command of Hong Kong history was impressive, and her insights on the recent and current political/cultural situations were so informative. On top of all that, her personality was a wonderful blend of so many great qualities: upbeat, straight-forward, humorous, patient and flexible. We could not have been happier. We've had many private guides through many different sources, and my wife and I agree that she has been our best ever. Such a pleasant, memorable and fun way to see Hong Kong across an 8 hour day. Thank you, Regene!!

This was a great way to explore Hong Kong as a first time visitor. Dennis has great knowledge of the city, not just the main features but some more out of the way places. We were able to share insights into history, architecture, politics and Dennis's speciality - food. I certainly got to see and understand HK far better than I would have done on my own. Not only that, but Dennis kept in contact following the tour with helpful hints for travel, destinations, etc. One word of advice for potential clients: this is a walking tour and everywhere is uphill! We covered some 10 miles in the 8 hours we had together - you need to have stamina and decent walking shoes. Once you understand that, you will have a great tour of the city.

Donald was fluent in English and also in the lore of Hong Kong. We wanted to see some areas where locals are living, and also eat local food, along with some history and political explanations. He did just what we hoped and made our objectives his priority. We took a tram a couple of times, but also walked a lot. Great day in Hong Kong!

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..

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

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!

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.
