Excellent tour

Mark_G, Mar 2026
Guided personal tour around HK Wendy contacted us before we arrived and asked what we wanted to see. We had asked to be taken up the Peak but low cloud meant we wanted to leave it until another day Wendy was completely unfazed by the last minute change and provided an interesting and informative day for us all.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We’re thrilled to hear that Wendy was able to adapt to your last-minute change and provide an interesting and informative day in Hong Kong. We really appreciate your kind words and it’s wonderful to know that her flexibility and knowledge helped make your tour enjoyable, even with the weather change. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable experience!

Cultural and food insights all with a delightful guide!

tedi_w, May 2025
We toured Hong Kong Park, jumped aboard the Star Ferry, the Sky 100, walked the promenade, and then toured “Brooklyn of Kowloon”. We had a great time with Dennis who shared cultural information, info about the sights and food insights. Was a terrific day!

Response from Host, May 2025

We're delighted to hear you had such a fantastic time exploring Hong Kong with Dennis. From Hong Kong Park to the Star Ferry, Sky 100, the promenade, and the “Brooklyn of Kowloon,” it sounds like a full and memorable day! We're so glad Dennis was able to enrich the experience with cultural insights and local knowledge—especially when it comes to the food! We hope to see you again soon for another adventure with City Unscripted.

Fantastic tour!

Hanspeter_H, Mar 2025
Dennis was my tour guide for this tour. Dennis was very dedicated, understanding and very helpful. The tour was fantastic for me and I can only recommend it. Dennis took me to the most important places in Hong Kong, as described in the advertisement, but also to "inconspicuous" places that you don't even notice as a tourist. These inconspicuous places, together with Dennis' explanations, helped me a lot to understand more about the history and people of Hong Kong. I can only recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! It is wonderful that you enjoyed both the well-known sights and the hidden gems of Hong Kong with our host Dennis. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!

6 Hour Tour with Alfred

Doug_F, Jan 2025
We set up a 6 hour tour with Alfred. We needed to change the start time and he was able to accommodate it. We provided him a few things that we wanted to see, which he was able to work into our tour. He took us to all the important sites and had the vast historical knowledge of Hong Kong. He took us to a great restaurant to experience local food. The walking pace was great and our twin 9 year old's were able to keep up. Great job and would recommend him to anyone wanting to see Hong Kong's sites and sounds. We would use him again when we visit Hong Kong in the future.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your kind feedback! We are thrilled to hear that Alfred was able to customize your tour and make it enjoyable for the whole family. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hong Kong in the future!

Amazing Hong Kong

Sylvia_C, Sep 2024

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with your guide and enjoyed exploring the city using various transport. We look forward to hosting you again!

Excellent Tour Round Hong Kong with Alfred

Mark_E, Jun 2024
I had an excellent tour with Alfred. Alfred took me to all the places of interest I requested. We saw the Peak, the sea side and a fish village. I particularly enjoy the Victoria prison and the garden at Diamond Hill. Alfred was extremely knowledgeable on the different elements of the history and culture of Hong Kong.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

We're glad you enjoyed visiting Victoria Prison and the garden at Diamond Hill, and that Alfred's extensive knowledge of Hong Kong's history and culture enriched your experience. Thanks for choosing us and we look forward to welcoming you back.

Poor Communication and Disappointing No-Show

DeborahB_B, Mar 2024
Your guide had a family emergency or illness and no one notified me that she had contacted VIATOR (Unscripted Tour) but no one notified me of this development. I arrived 10 minutes before the meeting time (9:00am), I was staying in Kowloon, so had to take a taxi across the harbor to the Central Post Office on HK Island in order to begin my 6 hour tour promptly at the appointed time. After numerous calls to the various toll free numbers listed and attempting to reach my guide via email, I finally learned that my excursion had been cancelled. So, I waited an hour & 15 minutes in the damp weather, in a desolate part of the city for a tour that never happened. VIATOR was responsible for notifying me of this change in events as soon as they knew! It's not like they DID NOT have my contact information!! Very disappointing since this was my last full day in Hong Kong. VIATOR is in the process of refunding my fee for the tour and I have requested $15 taxi fare in addition. They've also offered a complimentary UNSCRIPTED TOUR in the future but I am hesitant to use them again.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi Deborah, I understand how frustrating it must have been to have the tour canceled last minute, especially while arriving at the meeting point. Our team sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused. We discovered the issue around 5 AM HK time and immediately sent an email to inform you. Unfortunately, it appears that the email may have been missed in your mailbox. We attempted to reach you via phone in the morning, but by then, the tour was supposed to start. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to using it to improve our communication and handling of such situations in the future. We’ve sent you an email directly to chat about a solution and we hope you’ll give us another chance. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.

Our excellent Hong Kong adventure!

Stephanie_L, Jan 2024
Charles was an excellent guy… He knew all the facts and was eager to share his local knowledge. he took us to the open air Fish market, how to select lobster and scallops and then helped us to get them cooked! He was full of good information and very personable.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

We're delighted to hear that Charles provided you with an excellent experience, showcasing his local knowledge and making your visit to the open-air fish market memorable. We'll be here, ready for your next adventure!

Mark was excellent. Tour was authentic and fun!

Sandra_L, Dec 2023
Our guide Mark was exceptional. He carefully worked in places we wanted to see and guided us through the streets of Hong Kong to experience the new, old, and everything in between. Mark was kind and patient…he made the entire trip a wonderful experience of learning and awe. Thank you Mark for helping us see the real Hong Kong, not just the Instagram spots.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hello Sandra, our team truly appreciates your glowing feedback! It warms our hearts to hear Mark enhanced your experience. Hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Great time and great...

Tabaracci_R, Dec 2023
Great time and great spots. Excellent guide. Perfect combination of different not so touristic places and good walking.

Amazing Tour in Hong Kong with Karen

Luis_D, Nov 2023
Karen did an amazing job showing us all that she could in the time we had available. She was very kind and knowledgeable of all the areas she showed us and made sure we felt very welcome in Hong Kong. 100% recommend her if you want to have a very nice guide person in the city.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear that Karen's kindness, local insights, and warm hospitality made your time in Hong Kong special.

Excellent local and cultural experience!

PabloAntonio_A, Jul 2023
Victor was great! He showed us the “local” side of Hong Kong and really immersed us into the day to day life. Highly recommend!!

Not a great experience

Daniel_F, Apr 2023
The tour was supposed to take 5 to 6 hours. It took 8. We even had to request for it to end as it was becoming exhausting. At the end of the tour the guide said that he would give us the extra time free. This made us feel very uncomfortable. The two items we specifically requested to see were tacked on to the end of the tour and had to be rushed. At no point during these 8 hours where we ever asked if we would like to drink or eat something. Further, the guide spent a large amount of his time on the phone and also took pictures of us without asking our permission There were many other incidences which would take to long to list.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hello Daniel, I apologize for the tour running longer than expected and for any inconvenience it may have caused. While the offer of extra time was well-meaning, I understand it should have been aligned with your preferences. We highly value your feedback, and we are actively enhancing host training and refining our understanding of guest preferences. We'd be grateful for another opportunity to provide you with a more satisfying experience in the future. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.

Excellent city tour!! 👍🏻

Deactivated, Apr 2023
Our guide Victor was absolutely great!! Very knowledgeable about GIs city, he shared a lot of information about its history and its current situation. We did a lot of walking all around, time just flew by!!

Excellent trip round Hong Kong

Mark_E, Mar 2023
I had a tour by Angel around Hong Kong. Angel was extremely knowledgeable about Hong Kong and the different islands. We went to the big Buddha statue. I had an extremely good time. I enjoyed the vegetarian meal that the was part of the visit to the statue. I would highly recommend Angel's tour.

Victor went the extra mile and made the day special

Mike_D, Feb 2023
Victor met me at the Disneyland Hotel, which meant a lot as I traveled solo. One thing I did not expect is the extensive survey you get to match you with a guide. We went to The Peak and even visited Monopoly Dreams (I am big into board games). Taking a few different trains was great, as I am also a train buff. He also found places to eat since I am Vegan. Lastly, he made suggestions for the rest of my stay, and he did not feel like a guide but a friend.

Great day out with an expert

Paulaben111, Feb 2020
What a great way to see Hong Kong. Wai Lok designed a really good itinerary which comprised both the main sights and history, together with a visit to a more local area including a fascinating food market. We loved travelling on the tram, ferry and metro, something we wouldn't have had the confidence to do without assistance. Highly recommended!

Only 5 stars possible ??

Robert_L, Oct 2019
A free day in Hong Kong. What to do and how to do it? At almost the last minute (4 days in advance) on Viator we hired a private guide for a 6 hour tour. The guide provided, Victor, as excellent. Sorry that only 5 star rating is available. Between suggestions from friends and Victor, we worked out an itinerary and met Victor at the agreed upon place. Off we went. The pace was such that my wife and I desired with me stopping frequently to take a picture (rather serious amateur photographer). At many stops Victor used his iPad (or equivalent) to show up pictures of "what was" there, as he provided us with interesting and very informative information about that area. We went for six hours straight, no lunch break (our choice) and Victor accommodated our wishes. Bottom line... HIGHLY recommended !!!.
