Great tour! - Sinclair was a wonderful guide. He provided great information and insight into what we saw on the tour. Made the experience much richer than if I had done these sights on my own. Well worth the expense.

Kiyo was a great guide! - Kiyo was a great guide for our full day visit to Lantau Island! I would highly recommend that if Lantau Island, Big Buddha, Tai-O and the Monastery are in your plans, hire a guide and ask for Kiyo!

What a Memorable Day - We had the most fabulous time with Alfred. He was well on time, friendly and enthusiastic about the day ahead. We went straight to the cable car station via the metro and were able to upgrade to a Crystal cabin which he helped us arrange. He took lots of photos for us and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of Hong Kong, past and present and great to chat to. The cable car ride is a must, as is Big Buddha and the Lotus Temple is beautiful. The bus ride to Tai O was comfortable and short and the village is very interesting. We enjoyed the boat trip and meal at the Hotel which is included and returned to our hotel a little tired but very happy. I can’t recommend this trip enough and would ask for Alfred again if we ever come back to Hong Kong.

Check the pricing carefully before you book. - We had an amazing day with our guide Alfred who was very knowledgeable and attentive and made the trip very enjoyable. Lantau is definitely worth a trip if you are in Hong Kong. The Big Buddha is a wonder, and the trip to Shek-O was also very interesting. Alfred showed us some different temples and explained the different religions and beliefs in detail. He also took lots of photos for us. Lunch was very good too. Our only issue was the listing, which we found misleading. We booked when we were already in Hong Kong so assumed that the price shown was in HK dollars, however it was actually in US dollars which we only realised when the cost appeared on our bank statement. Since we were in Hong Kong when we booked, and are UK based it never occurred to us that the price would be in US dollars, and the listing didn't show this - it just showed the dollar sign, not which dollars we would be paying. This made the cost a lot more than we had anticipated. Having said that, we had a great day, and would definitely recommend Alfred as a guide.

Great adventure - Excellent trip with fantastic guide. I really enjoyed the cable car ride and the trip to the fishing village. The lunch at the old police station with the view of the bay was the best.

Kiyo - the best tour guide! Rain or shine! - Kiyo was so. Pleasant and knowledgeable about so many aspects and subjects relating to Hong Kong. He is one of the best tour guides we have hired. Will definitely recommend him to my friends when they pass through Hong Kong.

Outstanding - We had a fabulous day, we were very lucky to have Sinclair as our guide. He was amazing, he had some much knowledge, made the tour fun and he took lots of great pictures. He met us at our hotel and we took the underground train to the cable car. We had our own cable car and travelled up to the site of the Big Buddha. We climbed the steps to see the Buddha and also went inside. Sinclair talked us through the history. We then visited the monastery and temple before traveling by bus to the fishing village. We then took a boat around the harbor and searched for the white dolphin. We finished our day with a visit to the local shops and a delicious traditional meal. Sinclair made it a very memorable day.

Lantau Island Tour - In early April 2024, my wife and I joined Mel for a wonderful tour of Lantau Island. The tour itself surpassed my expectations, which were already high. We started our day riding the stunning Ngong Ping 360 cable car to the beautiful Big Buhdda and Po Lin Monastery, and we ended in the picturesque Tai O fishing village. Our guide Mel was delightful, friendly and very knowledgeable. He seems to truly enjoy his work, and he has even made friends with many of the villagers. He is the type of person who makes you feel as if you are touring with a good friend rather than with a hired guide. Five Stars ... without question!
