Our guide, Hans, tailored the tour to our specific needs: we had already seen some things, so it wasn’t a “standard package” but a truly personalized tour. He also took plenty of time to answer our questions. We can only recommend it.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Chi Lin Nunnery, the Night Streets around Prince Edward and Mong Kok on this tour. Chi Lin nunnery was an amazing sight, a traditional garden and temple surrounded by the highrise towers of Kowloon. My guide, Regene, was excellent, and was highlyknowledgable about the sites we visited and enthusiastic, and excellent companion for the trip. She is also an excellent photographer, something my girlfriend greatly appreciates. Her route planning was excellent, and enabled us to return in time for my harbour cruise.
