Worth it if you have the time. - I initially just wanted to see the statue of Buddha. But it turned out to be more than I anticipated. The cable car ride up and back was long but some great views. Our guide Becky was adept at explaining and keeping our group of 9 individuals together. Lunch was quite good as well.

Lantau Experience - A full day of varied experiences. Tella was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable with a bubbly personality. Everything went smoothly from hotel pick up to the cable car ride and we even rode on a local bus!

Tour guide and stops are excellent! - Tour guide, Becky Chan, is wonderful and very knowledgeable. The only caution I would mention of the tour is we thought it would be a private tour and it wasn’t. Becky made the day!

A wonderful outing. - Tella was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, entertaining, and warm. We loved the views from the tram. The Po Lin Monastery area was interesting and the Buddha was sensational. The Tai O fishing village was excellent. We even saw a pink dolphin.

A very good tour once initial confusion out of the way - Minibus collected from multiple hotels - had a couple of WhatsApp calls to say running late. Tour guide very friendly and full of energy, which calmed down once on the way ! A very good way to see the island.

Disappointing Tour : Misleading Advertising - We booked this tour through Viator and paid the full price expecting to experience the cable car. When the guide arrived at our hotel, we were told the cable cars were under maintenance for three days. Later, we learned this maintenance had been scheduled in advance, so the operator should have known , but the tour was still advertised as normal and we were charged full price. Instead of the advertised tour, the guide arranged a taxi to the bus station, then we traveled by public transport (No Cable car) to the Big Buddha, continued to a fishing village, and returned using a mix of public transport and taxi. This was completely different from what we booked and paid for. Since we were leaving next day, rescheduling was impossible. When we requested a refund, Viator said the operator did not approve the refund. Viator should be more careful when choosing operators, especially when they earn commissions from bookings. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing tours we have ever experienced. We booked through Viator because of its reputation, but this experience has changed our view. We are sharing our own experience to warn others.

Very disappointing day - Not impressed at all! We booked this activity because of the cable cars and paid extra to have the crystal cabin to enable to view through the floor. Late afternoon before the tour we had a message from the guide to tell us the cable cars were under maintenance and we would not be able to participate in this section of the tour. They implied they only just knew but we were told by a third party this maintenance had been scheduled for a while. Therefore why was the company still accepting bookings for this date? And worse still allowing you to upgrade to the crystal cabins which are an additional fee? This was our last day in Hong Kong so we were unable to reschedule. Had we known earlier we would have made alternative arrangements for another trip. This most definitely was not a “private” tour. We shared with another two travellers on the initial part of the trip, and then had to transfer to public transportation to get to the fishing village due to the cable cars not working. When travelling from the village to the monastery the guide crammed 4 of us on the back seat of a taxi which had definitely seen better days (not even sure if that was legal) I questioned a discount and was assured that we would be contacted by the tour company but I haven’t heard anything. This day was an unorganised mess with the guide scrambling to flag down taxis and hanging about in bus stations . I 100% would not recommend it. Most certainly did not meet expectations or the money we paid.
