Active way to see and learn about Hong Kong! - I highly recommend this tour company! Stephanie guided us on a wonderful day of hiking and exploring in Hong Kong. My husband and I are in Hong Kong for the first time and wanted to explore something other than shopping malls. Hong Kong is beautiful with the mountains and water. The trip by subway, bus, taxi was seamless. Along the hike, she shared her knowledge and love of Hong Kong. Swimming in the China Sea was a highlight followed by a delicious lunch on the beach. Sharing the trail with the local cows and school groups added to the adventure. We loved it so much we booked another hiking tour with Hong Kong à la Carte before we leave!

We Thought We Knew Shenzen. We Didn’t - Eight well travelled HK ladies ( origin countries Switzerland, South Africa, the US, UK and Australia) spent a day in and around Shenzen with expert guide Stephanie and learnt A LOT. We also had a lot of giggles and finished the day with guided bargain shopping at Lowu commercial centre. From delicious robot prepared coffee to 700 AD ancient city walls and pretty old Hakka villages, we spanned centuries in what is now the most digitised city on the planet. It would not have been possible without Stephanie. She organised our fast train tickets, got us taxis on the ground, adapted the itinerary as necessary and provided wonderful insights. Extra points for good public toilets! Thank you Stephanie

5-star, 5-hour tour of Hong Kong by Alexandra - Our 5-hour tour of Hong Kong's central city was hosted by Alexandra and we can't recommend her enough. She provided us with just the right amount of history of the country and the places we visited - not too little to be superficial, and not too much to be boring. She was articulate, knowledgeable and she was very accommodating of our needs. Five stars...!

Shenzen visit - I took a custom tour from Hong kong to Shenzen and it was brilliant. I honestly could not have done it myself because venturing into China on your own for the first time is extremely daunting. Stephanie was very knowledgeable on everything and she provided me with the ample historical context to understand properly China. Plus she is fun and beware she loves hiking so she can walk you anywhere!

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!
