Highlights

Hong Kong - Embark on a tailored journey where your guide will craft an agenda suited to your desires. While it’s impossible to cover all sights, here are some suggestions.

IMPORTANT: Since this is a bespoke and individualized experience, the actual sites you explore may vary from the ones mentioned, and will be selected by your guide to align with your personal tastes and inclinations

Sheung Wan - Discover Shing Wong Street, Hollywood Road, Classified, Elgin Street, and Man Fung Building. A kaleidoscope of hues, curated art pieces, famed artists, and an unexpected street culture.
Man Mo Temple

Temple Street Night Market - Whether you’re interested in ornamental birds or aquatic pets (though they might not be on your shopping list, they’re still intriguing to observe), silk garments, or culinary gadgets, venturing into this area is an adventure not to be overlooked!

Mong Kok Market - From the aromatic Flower Market to the extensive array of goods at the Ladies’ Market, you’re sure to find unique additions for your wardrobe, home, or gifts for others in this diverse shopping spree that’s beyond words. Just show up - we’ll handle everything else.

Kowloon City - Illuminated by myriad neon signs, this bustling district truly comes to life after dusk. Aptly named ‘9 dragons’, the area is known for its neon-lit markets, street food, and bars offering herbal concoctions. Dive into the vast array of street cuisine - dare to experiment and taste it all!

Victoria Harbour - Witness the most breathtaking views of the Symphony of Lights and the Hong Kong Island skyline across the water, then let your guide lead you through the labyrinth of streets that comprise this vibrant district.

Soho - Delve into the hidden corners of SoHo and the Central District, then zip over to Mong Kok and Harbor City to uncover the burgeoning street art scene that’s sprouting rapidly on the mainland.

Public Square Street - Navigate through the streets to discover bold murals and secret treasures, capture images of iconic artwork like the brightly painted steps of Public Square Street, and check out the latest additions to Mong Kok’s Hall of Fame - no two visits here are ever the same.

Dundas Street - Make your way to Dundas Street and delve into the gaai, or back alleys, where you’ll stumble upon quaint bars serving everything from herbal tonics to beers!

Man Mo Temple - From exquisite temples and traditional heritage to the more understated (and sometimes not so understated) Western influences, your guide is eager to introduce you to Sheung Wan, the chic powerhouse of Hong Kong!
IMPORTANT: Since this is a bespoke and individualized experience, the actual sites you explore may vary from the ones mentioned, and will be selected by your guide to align with your personal tastes and inclinations.

A great way to see Hong Kong - We booked this tour when we had a long layover and wanted to see some of Hong Kong and we are so glad we did it. Our guide Jazz was excellent. She was knowledgeable and fun, and she personalized the experience for us. Between seeing the sights, learning some of the history, and eating some delicious Dim Sum, we felt like we made the absolute most of our time here.

The best way to see Hong Kong - We loved the personalized attention we received for this tour, and we learned what we needed to make the most of our next few days in Hong Kong. We would highly recommend doing this as soon as you arrive in the city.

Excellent Hong Kong tour with Alfred - Alfred contacted us a couple of days prior with suggestions on how to hit the highlights of Hong Kong in half a day. Boy did he exceed our expectations. We had a great day. Alfred is kind, patient and adapts the tour to your needs (in our case breakfast!). We had a great time. Bring around HK$500 to cover the various transport and food as you'll need it. Alfred took us on a trolley bus, on the metro, in a Sampan boat, up the Peak by cable car, in a taxi and across to Kowloon by Star Ferry. We especially loved our lunch at a Michellin Starred restaurant loved by locals for less than USD$30! Alfred walks briskly - he's very fit - so good level of mobility required. We highly recommend Alfred as a great Hong Kong guide. Thank you Alfred!

Half day tour of Hong Kong island with Edward - We recently were in Hong Kong, and booked a half day tour with Edward. He met us at our hotel right on time, and proceeded to show us the highlights of Hong Kong. Edward was raised in the part of Hong Kong we were walking through and was able to provide a unique perspective, pointing out areas where he played as a child and where he went to school. We visited temples, markets, and many other memorable sites in Hong Kong. Edward provided interesting facts and information regarding each site we visited. He also recommended an excellent place for lunch. We were disappointed when we had to go, wanting to see more of Hong Kong with Edward. I would recommend Edward as a tour guide to anyone who wants to explore Hong Kong. He is friendly, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. Joe and Janine
