Great variety of activities - well organised! - Well organised tour. Skipping the line at the cable car was so important. Our guide, Rex, was friendly and communicated well so where knew where to be and when. A good amount of free time to wander. The meal at the monastery was generous too. Strongly recommend taking the optional boat ride to the stilt houses and dolphins - only $50HKD

Anne is great tour guide - Anne was absolutely wonderful. She had a lot of information and was very specific in her instructions. I learned a lot about Hong Kong. A couple of people on tour did not follow her instructions and did hike to Budha before lunch. She was very nice in that she saved them a "to go" lunch but they were very upset - Not sure why - they hiked the steps and still got their lunch. I loved the fishing village portion of tour with boat ride!!!!!!

Excellent day out, Ken... - Excellent day out, Ken was a superb guide, witty & interesting with great insights into life in Hong Kong & on Lantau Island. Highly recommended, only caveat is the final stop in Kowloon at the jewellery store……..not for everyone!

This was a good trip with... - This was a good trip with variety. The cable car had amazing views and skip the line meant little to no wait. Tai O was interesting but if you didn't do the optional boat tour you would end up with far too much free time - I don't know why they don't just add this in as we did see pink dolphins making it a highlight. Big Buddha was interesting but as multiple groups were doing different things (food/no food) there was again too much free time. I decided to just get the metro back on my own from the cable car as I really didn't want to do the souvenir store- and I am glad I didn't as I got stuck on that today ...... Check in for the tour is chaotic as there are several groups doing different things.

Great start, disappointing finish - Tai O fishing village really interesting. Optional boat tour well worth the additional cost. Cable car was great. Optional lunch at monastery was good. Tour guide was difficult to understand. At end of tour went to a jewelry store that was not on tour description. It felt like a shake down. None of the tour guests wanted to be there. It added an hour to the published ending time which no one appreciated.

Big Buddha - Big Adventure - Fantastic excursion, very informative, and the guides were so knowledgeable and friendly. This was definitely a 5-star adventure, HOWEVER, the excursion was diminished by a not advertised last stop at a jewelry shop for a presentation and sales pitch! Very unfortunate
