Great and memorable day! - Stephanie was an exceptional guide for our tour to Lantau. She met us at our hotel and guided us through the local transportation to see many stunning sights. She was very knowledgeable, not only about getting around, but in local customs and history. We had many questions and appreciated her insights. Big Buddha did not disappoint and the pink dolphins were active and beautiful. We especially enjoyed the walk through the village and lunch at a local café. Thanks for a great day, Stephanie.

Trip to Hong Kong - Our tour guide Stefanie was amazing. Incredibly thorough knowledge of the history of the island, including geography and topography, paired with a clear and concise narration. We really enjoyed our tour (and she takes great family photos during the tour as well!!)

To start your stay in HK! - We took our first steps in Hong Kong with Stephanie, it was the best way to start our week-long stay.
Stephanie first gave us a clear and structured view of the history of HK, with lots of interesting and fun anecdotes, her experience of recent history too. Then we took a great tour in different places of the city, on foot, the largest escalator in the world, by tram, boat, metro... we saw a lot, without feeling like running, and learning a lot. Very nice lunch break.
A very nice start of stay that I recommend to all!

An exciting and friendly introduction to Hong Kong - A full day guided by Stephanie that began with an exciting introduction to Hong Kong and its history. We then visited different neighborhoods on Vitoria Island or Kowlong and emblematic places, talking about such diverse topics as architecture, feng shui, religions, gastronomy, etc.
We recommend this visit which allows you to go beyond clichés thanks to Stephanie’s long experience of HKK.

A day to understand the keys of Hong Kong - Stephanie accompanied us on a full day with her family (group of 14 people over three generations) to discover Hong Kong, its history, culture and some of these iconic sites. We appreciated the quality of the preparation, the good balance between factual distance and personal feelings, especially vs recent news. You can feel Stephanie’s attachment and anchoring in this territory that she loves and knows particularly well. This makes all the difference and we had the feeling to “live” a little the reality of HK while keeping the prism and reading keys of a Western look

Private Tour Lantau Island-Big Buddha and Tai O Village - Private Tour Lantau Island-Big Buddha and Tai O Village
Booking Number: 1197046711
Confirmation Number: 1581852639
This tour was outstanding and exceeded all expectations. Stephanie was a polite, patience and highly knowledgeable tour guide. She made the experience educational and highly enjoyable in learning Hong Kong’s historical scenery.
Stephanie explained everything from the simple MTR subway through the subway stations to the magnificent ride and view from the Ngong Ping 360 cable car.
Stephanie expertly maneuvered through Ngnong Ping Village, Divine Generals Alley, Po Lin Buddhist Monastery, Ten Thousand Buddha Grand Hall and Tai O Fishing Village and provided great insight and valued historical data for each of these great Hong Kong landmarks. We also shared an amazing lunch at an local village restaurant.
Stephanie provided a recap and detailed synopsis of my exact tour as occurred which proved invaluable to my own detailed journal for my Hong Kong visit.
Bravo Zulu Stephanie, thank you!
I will take this tour again when I visit Hong Kong and highly recommend this tour to family, friends or anyone visiting Hong Kong.

Discovering HK and its various facets - Our visit with Alexandra was just great! Starting with Central and ending with the Diamond Hill district, passing through the temple of Man Mo, the old prison, the quarter of Tsim Sha Tsui, we were able to discover Hong Kong in its many facets: architecture and urban planning, religion and philosophy, traditional medicine and street market, gastronomy, history and geopolitics.
Alexandra managed to juggle her different subjects and neighborhoods with a very pleasant fluidity making this daily walk pleasant.
We advise!!!
Thanks again!
