Benny was absolutely amazing and did everything to make our trip to Hong Kong special! These tours are so much more personal and special and it will be hard to ever join a group tour again. Benny carefully crafted an itinerary that showed us all of the places we wanted to see and was patient with us. The day was truly perfect and Benny was a big part of that! He also continued to be helpful after with personal recommendations and checking up to make sure we made it to our next destination safely. Thank you so much for everything, Benny!

Brenda_L, Jun 2026
Regene Li was fantastic! I had a bit of confusion finding the meeting spot, my suggestion would be to find a specific store rather than the MRT Station. (But that was my falut) Once we connected, it was a great tram ride, and walk through the fin district and historic streets to a temple. Once there Regene explained all of the symbolisms and more! From there we walked to the Star Ferry and went to one of the islands. We rounded out the day with a visit to a typical multi-level market were fish, meat and vegetables were being sold.
Would definitely do this again! (Especially with Regene's suggestions for my next visit.)
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We’re so glad you had such a memorable experience exploring the city!

Since it is a walking tour, it is very important to have the right guide. My guide, Grace was both knowledgeable about the current and historical aspects of the sites we visited but her presentation was interesting and engaging.

Wow. Alex was among the best guides we've ever had. around the world. He was totally flexible with our timing and location, and he had put a lot of thought into what to show us in that area. We had a great exposure to a Hong Kong you don't get in the standard group tour: Goldfish Street, the Jockey Club, information on mahjong parlors and fortune tellers at the market. He helped us pick out street food on Temple Street, took us into the Peninsula Hotel and relayed interesting WWII stories. We went over our time, and he didn't blink. Even gave my friend and I roses for Mother's Day. Just a sweet, kind, caring guide with an impeccable professional attitude.
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re thrilled that Alex created such a memorable and personalized experience for you in Hong Kong. From hidden local gems to thoughtful touches like Mother’s Day roses, it’s wonderful to know his kindness, flexibility, and deep knowledge made such an impact. Thank you so much for this incredible review!
Patrick_G, May 2026
I had a fantastic time in Hong Kong with my guide, Benny. I deeply appreciate Benny meeting me at my hotel in TST. Benny was extremely accommodating to my requests and needs. He deftly adapted the tour to incorporate small snack breaks, coffee breaks, bathroom breaks and post card runs. With every break he would also add his insights into life in Hong Kong. The solo tour is definitely if your short on time, want a bespoke one on one experience and needing a comprehensive preview of Hong Kong. Definitely make sure you have good shoes for this experience. Don't hesitate to ask Benny the best places to eat!
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re really glad to hear you had such a fantastic time with Benny and that he made your visit comfortable and flexible from the very start by meeting you at your hotel in TST. It’s great to know he was able to adapt the tour smoothly around your needs while still sharing meaningful insights about life in Hong Kong along the way.

Julie_K, Apr 2026
I was in Hong Kong for two days as a solo extension of a long group tour of China. The tour company provided a guide for my first day, and my second day was a free day.
I wanted a Day 2 guide who could make sure I saw the things I didn’t on my first day. I wanted someone with flexibility who could “play it by ear”. That’s exactly what I got with this tour. I sent them my itinerary for day 1, they made suggestions for day 2. My day 1 guide made one more suggestion of a must do, and my Day 2 guide, Wendy, made it happen!
Wendy was a fantastic guide. Easy to understand, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was raining for the entire tour, but Wendy didn’t let that put a damper on our day. She was totally flexible about what I wanted to do and on what timeline.
Thanks to this tour, I’m leaving Hong Kong feeling like I saw everything I wanted to.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
It’s wonderful to hear how your second day in Hong Kong came together exactly as you had hoped.
We’re especially glad that the flexibility of the experience allowed you to build on what you had already seen and make the most of your time in the city. It’s great to hear that Wendy was able to adapt the day to your preferences, incorporate recommendations, and keep the experience enjoyable despite the rain — that kind of responsiveness and local insight is exactly what we aim to provide.
It’s fantastic to know you’re leaving Hong Kong feeling like you saw everything you wanted to — that’s exactly the outcome we strive for.
Molly_B, Apr 2026
I had the best time on this tour and it was because of my tour guide, Grace. She was incredibly kind and had so much knowledge to share. She reached out to me a few weeks before I arrived and asked me what I was interested in and then put together a fully customized tour. I really enjoy history so she added things like the police museum. I also wanted to try some local food so she took me to some of her favorite places and o tried milk tea. The view from Victoria Peak even in the rain was wonderful as well. Make sure to ask for Grace if you book this tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re so glad you had such a memorable and personalized experience, from historic spots to local food and that view from Victoria Peak! It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed it — your recommendation truly means a lot to us.
Lee_K, Apr 2026
Fantastic guide and tour - 5+ stars! Benny Lee was exceptional; we have booked tours like this all over the world and he is definitely Top-10, probably Top-3. Excellent pre-tour communication and he TRULY customized it to our interests. (Some guides say they will do this but really don’t.) He made great suggestions to save us time and money while still providing a great experience. (For example, offered the tram to the Peak - but pointed out that the much-cheaper bus provided better views and less crowds, and he was right.) And he was exceptionally kind, considerate and safety-focused. My wife had a foot injury before the tour, and Benny went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable throughout the tour. Finally, we just really appreciated his enthusiasm - he genuinely loves Hong Kong and that came through is the 6 or 7 hours we spent together. If he represents the standards of this tour company then you should book without hesitation.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re so glad your time in Hong Kong felt so thoughtfully tailored and full of genuine care from start to finish! It’s wonderful to hear how comfortable and well looked after you felt — your recommendation truly means a lot to us.

Grace was a great tour guide! Her English was good, and she made the entire experience very engaging. She took us to so many amazing spots across the city and shared fascinating insights into Hong Kong’s history along the way. She also went above and beyond when it came to photos, making sure we got great shots in some of the most iconic and historic locations. Highly recommend touring with her!
Response from Host, Apr 2026

We had Karen as out tour guide who was very knowledgeable and very nice. She gave us options prior to our trip so a personalised itinerary was put together for us. Do go up Victoria Peake as there are stunning views of Hong Kong. She took us on the subway which was very clean, cheap and efficient! TIP - Do take into consideration the humidity when planning this trip and don’t try to fit too much in as is mainly on foot and you get very drained. Make sure you have plenty of water! Subway travel is by credit card only - no cash! Trip was very good value for money and we thoroughly enjoyed it!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you again for your kind words, and we’re so pleased to know you found the experience to be great value. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure in the future.

Mark did such a great job tailoring our tour! We had so much fun and learned so much! Hong Kong has so much to see and we were able to take advantage of the metro, ferry and buses to see several areas and landmarks! We couldn’t have asked for a better time and would highly recommend this tour!

We loved our guide Regene. We rode on a ding ding, went to Man Mo Temple, explored a street market, visited the old prison, witnessed Villain hitting, and more. We learned so much about the culture here and really just enjoyed talking with her and sharing stories.

Absolutely fantastic experience! I recently took a walking tour with Robert in Hong Kong, and I cannot recommend him enough. It’s rare to find a guide who is so genuinely well-educated on the history, culture, and architecture of the city. Robert didn’t just show us the sights; he provided incredible context that brought the streets to life.
Beyond his deep knowledge, he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He made sure we were comfortable and happily answered all of our questions. Everything from the pacing to the route was perfect. If you want to truly understand Hong Kong, book a tour with Robert—it was an amazing way to see the city!
