We asked the guide to change the itinerary he had planned as we were doing many of the things the following day. Instead the tour focused on Kowloon, which didn’t have a lot of interest. Dennis, our guide, was lovely and included food tastings in our tour. That was probably the best part. I’d recommend you give Dennis a go but stick to his original plan or turn it into a food tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Your feedback is very helpful, and we’ll take this into account to ensure clearer alignment between guest expectations and the planned experience moving forward. Thank you as well for recommending Dennis. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide an even more tailored experience next time.

Karen was a great guide for 6 1/2 hour toir of Hong Kong after getting off our cruise ship at 9:00 AM.
She was born and raised in Hong King and gave a good summary of it’s history and current situation.
We saw many sites on Hong Kong Island and she gave good suggestions for future sightseeing activities on our own.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
We’re so glad to hear this experience was such a great way to begin your time in Hong Kong straight off the ship. Knowing it gave you a strong sense of the city’s history and helped you feel confident exploring further on your own means a lot to us, thank you for sharing your feedback.

We had the loveliest day with Robert. We traveled all over the city, took a variety of forms of transportation, sampled local treats/dim sum, and experienced far more of Hong Kong than we ever would have on our own.
The day was a perfect blend of history, cultural influences, cityscapes, temple visits, and walking the local streets with an expert. Robert had stories, pictures, and explanations throughout the tour.
Most importantly, we felt and were impressed by how much he loved the city, and the tour seemed to be a great way to show what a great place it is. I highly recommend him.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re so glad to hear this experience let you see so much of Hong Kong in such a rich and varied way, from local streets and temples to food and cityscapes. Knowing the day felt well balanced and brought the city’s character to life so clearly means a lot to us, thank you for sharing your recommendation.

We spent over 6 hours with Karen our tour guide and got to see all the sight that she recommended. She knew the history of the area and navigated us through the bus's trams and star ferry. We had a wonderful experience and a personalized tour was what we needed.
Thanks Karen for a great day

We had a great tour oh hongkong city. Alfred was our guide and he was very supportive and understanding of our requirements. We travelled as family with young children and he planned the trip very well making sure we're not too tired and at same time covering important landmarks and attractions. An excellent tour and would strongly recommend it especially with someone like Alfred who made a great effort to organise everything.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're glad that Alfred could accommodate your family's needs and ensure a memorable and enjoyable tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Incredible walking tour of the city with Evangeline. We (my wife and I) had a 12 hour layover and this 5.5-6 hour tour gave us a real sense of the city. Started with a tram ride to Victoria Peak and ended with dumplings in Kowloon, and lots and lots in between. Great tour and great tour guide!
Response from Host, Dec 2024
