Awesome Hong Kong - I booked 3 tours with Hong Kong a la Carte and was extremely excited for all 3. The tour guides were extremely informative about the history, culture, traditions and locations to visit. Absolutely great to make sure I got to do and see everything that could in the time I was there. Would definitely recommend their great service

Amazing introduction to Hong Kong! - Our 7 hour Introduction to Hong Kong for first timers was more than we could have asked for. Alexandra gave us history, education and recommendations. We were thrilled with her knowledge and passion about Hong Kong. Highly recommend this tour with her to anybody.

Camino Singapore 5days Trek - It’s been a great adventure journeying with 2 experienced and caring guides Stephenie & Alexandra over the 5 days trek covering 5 famous trials in Hong Kong. Without any doubt, I strongly recommend any aspiring trekkers to visit Hong Kong & its trials with professional guides under them. Happy hikers from Camino Singapore

Best Tour We've Had In Years - Stephanie was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, showed us all the interesting sites (Victoria Peak, Buddhist temple, interesting buildings, ferry ride in the harbor, the old jail). She also took us to an excellent authentic place for lunch, the food was great. We enjoyed all the modes of transportation, and she was very flexible about picking us up when our cruise ship made changes in their plans.

Perfect intro to Hong Kong - We loved this tour! Stephanie reached out before the tour and we talked about what we were interested in, and she set our schedule to include the things we were really interested in. She also did a terrific job engaging my 12 and 14 year olds- even helping my daughter negotiate for a souvenir horse at one of the market stalls. When she learned my son loved Legos, she adjusted and took us to Langham Mall so he could check out the lego store. She was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. We saw so much! I would highly recommend for folks with kids for certain! I can’t even list all the things we did/saw! Totally worth the time and money.
