Amazing Tour with Ashley - We had an amazing tour with Ashley. She picked us up at the cruise terminal and we promptly headed to Hong Kong Island. Ashley provided much history of the area as well as stops for treats along the way.
We loved our stop for the Soup Buns, something we had not previously tried. We walked along Cat Street and visited MAN MO temple.
We found the escalator system fascinating as well as the walkways and malls connecting the office buildings.
The Star Ferry was a treat and we finished up the day with a wonderful Si Chuan lunch.
We would definitely recommend Ashley for a tour and would hope we have the opportunity to visit Hong Kong again and tour with Ashley.

Interesting and delicious taste of Hong Kong - Kiyo gave us amazing and delicious tour of Hong Kong. We walked to several interesting places including riding the Metro under the harbor, the central-mid-levels escalators and the tram. We also tasted several items we had never hear of and all were yummy. He even took the time to teach us how to use the Metro ourselves. Kiyo's knowledge of Hong Kong and love for what he does was very apparent. We would highly recommend this tour!

Good Time In Hong Kong - We have just got home to Brisbane cruising Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan and numerous islands around Japan. We have been on numerous tours good and ordinary. Our tour with Ashley around Hong Kong was a highlight. She met us at the Cruise Terminal and then took us to places other tourists would not have seen. She has a warm and friendly personality ............highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour. Great Guide. Can't miss!!! - My wife and I took this tour with Ashley on a layover in Hong Kong on a recent trip. She was responsive and attentive to what we wanted - contacting us several times before we arrived and setting clear expectations and instructions for day of. She was flexible on approach and timing and was really able to serve our needs. We ate at a variety of places, all super tasty with additional background and info from Ashley. She also gave us such interesting info on our walking tour through both CBD and Kowloon. Rode the 'Ding Ding" and the Star Ferry. Was a great way to get an authentic Hong Kong foodie experience as well as an intro to local history and culture. She was a fantastic guide and host. While this isn't the cheapest option, it was worth every penny!

Great overview - We had an ideal tour to suit our one day layover in Hong Kong. While we used the trams and treats tour as the basis for our time, Ashley was great at accommodating little variations. Our time was an excellent blend of culture and history, moving about the city and … of course …. The food. Great tour!
