About this activity

Found yourself with half a day in Hong Kong? You lucky thing. You’ll join one of our hosts to spend half a day exploring their city of contrasts together, and whether you’d like to see a few highlights like Victoria Peak and the Ladies’ Market or the neon-soaked districts on the mainland, they’ll do their best to make it happen. Be delighted by the city’s many tranquil green spaces - from the sweet sounds of birdsong in the Yuen Po Bird Garden, to the majesty and culture captured in Hong Kong Park. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Excellent Hong Kong tour with Alfred

Alfred contacted us a couple of days prior with suggestions on how to hit the highlights of Hong Kong in half a day. Boy did he exceed our expectations. We had a great day. Alfred is kind, patient and adapts the tour to your needs (in our case breakfast!). We had a great time. Bring around HK$500 to cover the various transport and food as you'll need it. Alfred took us on a trolley bus, on the metro, in a Sampan boat, up the Peak by cable car, in a taxi and across to Kowloon by Star Ferry. We especially loved our lunch at a Michellin Starred restaurant loved by locals for less than USD$30! Alfred walks briskly - he's very fit - so good level of mobility required. We highly recommend Alfred as a great Hong Kong guide. Thank you Alfred!

Half day tour of Hong Kong island with Edward

We recently were in Hong Kong, and booked a half day tour with Edward. He met us at our hotel right on time, and proceeded to show us the highlights of Hong Kong. Edward was raised in the part of Hong Kong we were walking through and was able to provide a unique perspective, pointing out areas where he played as a child and where he went to school. We visited temples, markets, and many other memorable sites in Hong Kong. Edward provided interesting facts and information regarding each site we visited. He also recommended an excellent place for lunch. We were disappointed when we had to go, wanting to see more of Hong Kong with Edward. I would recommend Edward as a tour guide to anyone who wants to explore Hong Kong. He is friendly, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. Joe and Janine

This was an evening tour.

Our guide was knowledgeable about the local area. He was able to show us a wide range of sites in a short amount of time. I would use him again. Thanks
