About this experience

A true Hong Kong experience for you to discover the food, culture, history, landscape, and unique local places for photo shooting! This wonderful city has so much to offer! I love making it fun and easy for you to immerse in an authentic Hong Kong environment especially in places off the beaten path, combining with some of the must-see attractions, and having good finger-licking food and snacks from amazing local eateries. And what is more, you will have my assistance to ensure your smooth layover through HKIA before we head over to explore the city.

The itinerary will be flexible. I know most part of the city by heart and I'm always happy and ready to welcome changes. I hope that by the time we bid farewell, you have made a new friend in Hong Kong - someone who genuinely cares, generously provides insider tips of the city and laughs with you!
