We spent the day with Alfred who was absolutely fantastic and so knowledgeable! He shared everything he could with us as we experienced Hong Kong for the first time. We saw a ton in our day together and had asked Alfred ahead of time to simply plan what he thought we would to see. He did not disappoint and we could not be more thrilled with the time we were able to spend with him. We ended up using the train/subway quite a bit which is very easy to navigate and set us up with confidence the next day for a group tour that relied on some subway action. The thing that made Alfred truly special beyond his knowledge and kindness was he took pics of my husband and I throughout the entire tour on his own accord and bundled/airdropped to me when we said our goodbyes. Couple of tips - good walking shoes, the city is such a lovely and walkable city. Have HKD on hand for taxis (most only take cash) and snacks. We flew in on a 15 hour flight the night before and being exhausted had no time to get local currency. Alfred was gracious enough to front until we hit an ATM.

We loved the day with Hans so much. We had no idea what Hong Kong had to offer or what to see, so we left it up to Hans to create a full day of sightseeing, history and discovery and he didn't disappoint. From hidden restaurants with authentic cuisine, to the best view of Hong Kong from the peak and everything in between, Hans delivered the best experience of Hong Kong someone could experience. We had so much fun, took lots of selfies and saw Flamingoes?? Something I didnt expect. Hans knowledge of Hong Kong is second to none and I cant recommend him enough.

Absolutely worth the money! Dennis (local guide) was able to create a bespoke tour catering to my requirements on what I'd like to experience from Hong Kong for my first time. He was quite knowledgeable about the places visited, and suggest great dining/snacking options. He was also accommodating to my requests of scenic and cultural locations (and added relevant commentary).

Alfred is an extremely knowledgeable and engaging guide. He introduced us to places and aspects of Hong Kong that we doubt we would have encountered on a "standard" tour, certainly not the hop on hop off bus. He made a concerted effort to make a plan that reflected our interests, and delivered it. Took loads of great photographs for us we would would never otherwise have had.

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.
