Christina was very helpful, knowledgeable

135Roger, Apr 2025

Excellent day to Tai O villiage and Ngong Ping area. If you are familiar with HK public transport, you could piece this day together yourself, but the local & national cultural information & history was superb. We would've never got the same experience without Christina's input. We saw the village, enjoyed the boat tour (it was too choppy on the water to see dolphins), learnt about the monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha. The lunch was tasty, it's not high end (it's a monastery!!) but it was a good bite. Ngong Ping is modern with lots of global chain restaurants, nothing noteworthy, spend your time at the monastery and up with the big Buddah instead. Thanks Christina!

Excellent, amusing, interesting guided trip to a very interesting site

really_razamataz, Apr 2025

We were part of a group of 10 or so, led by Grace who was an amusing and hard-working guide as she shepherded us around the metro to Lantau and then around the island. She had carefully made sure all of us knew where to meet, and sent out personalised travel instructions. We stopped in an interesting fishing village for a bite to eat and an optional (no extra payment) boat trip where we were lucky enough to see albino dolphins. The Big Buddha was amazing and everything was well explained by Grace both in words and sounds (you will chuckle in understanding that if you are lucky enough to have her as your guide). Be prepared for a climb up perhaps 260/280 steps to get to the Big Buddha itself. There is a fair amount of bus travel on the Island to get from the subway station to the statue area.

Lantau in one day

Thilo_R, Apr 2025

Interesting Tour around Lantau Island; Christina is very knowledgable Tour Guide, sometimes a bit chaotic. Parts of the tour were with public buses and the Drive Style of one driver made some passengers feel sick and to vomit… Boat tour at the fisher village Tai O and then back by cable car to the MRT station

Amazing experience

Explorer698278, Apr 2025

Grace was a fantastic tour guide—kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly organized. She made everyone feel welcome and took time to answer questions with genuine care. The tour ran smoothly, stayed perfectly on schedule, and included a wide range of experiences. We never felt rushed, yet saw so much. We left feeling informed, inspired, and grateful. Highly recommend her!
