About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- shadowandabreeze0 contributionsDo this tour!!Our tour with Alfred was amazing! He was able to show us so much. His ability to get us around long lines for the tram and other sites saved us hours of waiting in lines. It was a great first tour of Hong Kong. A huge bonus for us was showing us how to use mass transit, suggestions for sites to see on our own and he left us at a great Dim Sum place to finish out our day. I could not ask for a better tour.Written October 6, 2024
- Jason M0 contributionsWalk about down townEnjoyed our walk about. Pinky our guide was great. Learnt so much more and got to see so much more. Dinner was also fantastic.Written October 4, 2024
- Gloria S0 contributionsGreat tour as an introduction to Hong KongFabulous intimate tour with Christy today. Christy tailored the tour for us as we were fortunate enough to be the only people on the tour. Christy went out of her way to ensure that we went to all of the places that were of specific interest to us and provided wonderful detail and local knowledge. A must do tour for anyone considering a tour of Hong KongWritten October 4, 2024

- louisesarton0 contributionsExcellent Guide , fabulous tour!Regene was a brilliant guide. Very knowledgeable and engaging . We went to a really diverse range of places getting to know the history and culture of Hong KongWritten September 23, 2024
- Explore398995412910 contributionsAmazing tour through a local’s eyesAn amazing way to see the city in a custom and personalized way. My tour guide Benny was phenomenal and took me to some larger tourist destinations as well as off the beaten path locations. What was above and beyond was a pending typhoon that hit the region a few days after my tour……Benny was kind enough to keep me posted on local updates that I wouldn’t have seen as a tourist. A truly above and beyond effort by him.Written September 6, 2024
- Saralaura1990 contributionsA highlight of our time in Hong Kong!This food tour was a highlight of our trip to Hong Kong. Simon was outstanding and answered all our questions about the history and culture of Hong Kong and Mainland China. We tasted a variety of delicious dishes, highlighting local specialties. Simon even gave us his phone number in case we needed anything while we were in Hong Kong. I’m so happy I signed up for this tour and feel lucky to have had such a wonderful guide.Written September 5, 2024
- Excursion080203407350 contributionsGreat tour with AlfredWe had a wonderful time with Alfred as our guide who was nothing but sweet and every informative. He tailored the tour to be exactly what we wanted and made it so we felt like we got a great sense of much of the city and its highlights all in a few hours.Written September 4, 2024
- gibbylou0 contributionsA great Hong Kong experienceWe booked one tour with CityUnscripted, for a half-day tour of Hong Kong, and then we were able to arrange with them for a full day tour of Lantau Island and another full day exploring Hong Kong with the same guide. The people at CityUnscripted were very helpful and accommodating with this. Simon was a wonderful guide. He had lived a long time in both Hing Kong and Canada, so he spoke perfect English and Chinese, and he understood both the local culture and our perspective. Because these were private tours, we were able to customize what we wanted to see and how much time to spend at each attraction. Simon was very flexible and understanding. He was also very knowledgeable about the history and details of the places we visited. He kept the pace going briskly, without being rushed. The places we ate were not tourist traps at all but filled with locals. He met us at our hotel each morning, and then we traveled by foot, cab, subway, bus, and ferry.Written August 31, 2024
- helenfJ2801IY0 contributionsGreat insight into Hong KongWe had a very enjoyable morning with Daniel. Daniel was so informed, interesting and good fun. We learned loads about Hong Kong. I highly recommend this walking tour as a great way to get introduced to the city !Written August 19, 2024
- 389ellahn0 contributionsBook cosmos for your Hong Kong tour!Our guide Cosmos met us at our hotel. He took us from the hotel to the mrt showing us points of interest on the way. He helped us buy the mrt tickets and showed us how to use the machine for future reference. He took us to three different temples and was very knowledgeable informing us about local customs and traditions. With his guidance we were able to make the most of the rest of our trip. Brilliant guide and great communication friendly as well.Written August 18, 2024
- jackdgd0 contributionsBrilliant tour with MarkReally enjoyed my 6 hour tour of Hong Kong with Mark. Absolutely brilliant guide, and even managed to find a local place that could do a gluten free lunch for me. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to see Hong Kong, especially if you are limited on time.Written August 15, 2024
- hdoraisamy0 contributions100 stars!Let me start off by saying Mark is such a genuinely nice human being! Right from the booking, he communicated without any delays and provided a bespoke itinerary to meet my custom requirements. He communicated when he was running a few minutes late and also suggested ways for me to save money. He went way above and beyond by even carrying my purchases in the hot Hong Kong weather so I could focus my efforts in taking pictures! He even checked in on me after the tour. He has become a good friend! Mark knows Hong Kong like the back of his hand and has a great sense of humor to keep us entertained! Book your next HK tour with Mark - you will not be disappointed!Written August 7, 2024
- bryanvU3431VU0 contributionsGreat Hong Kong tourVery pleasant trip. Alfred was a great tour guide. He truly helped us explore the city. The local dim sum restaurant where we are lunch was amazing too. Much better than the Dim Sum in California.Written August 3, 2024

Amy was an amazing guide for our group of 8 (2 seniors, 4 adults, and 2 kids) on our tour of Sheung Wan. Some in our group have lived in HK and/or been to HK many times already, but we chose this tour to explore a part of the city we were not familiar with. Amy contacted us in the days before our tour to learn of any physical limitations and general interests in order to tailor our tour to our specific needs. It was a really interesting tour that took us to some off the beaten path spots. We sampled some very "local" and authentic food and drinks, toured the Graham street market that's been in existence for over 150 years, saw some interesting street art, and explored some antique shops. Amy went "above and beyond" in the following ways:
1. navigated a walking tour that limited the number of stairs to accommodate my 87 year old father in law
2. physically assisted my father in law without being asked
3. was flexible with her time
4. negotiated a fair price for a mahjong set from a street vendor
5. the in the days before and even after, made herself available via text to recommend restaurants and other points of interest around the city.
Thank you Amy for all your time and consideration in making our tour fun and memorable. We had a blast and highly recommend this tour!

Jacky was prompt and we had no trouble finding him as we exited the ferry on Hong Kong Island. We had informed him about what color hats my husband and I would be wearing and he let us know what his hat looked like.
He is friendly and kind, and because we are Seniors, we felt like we were touring with a favorite nephew.
We chose this tour because we have been to Hong Kong many times. Although we have been to Sheung Wan before, we wanted to know more about it. Jacky showed us that part of HK Island as we would never have been able to do on our own. He was intuitive to quickly see what our interests are. Jacky is also willing to be very flexible with the itinerary, even on the spot.
Our tour ended with a ride on the iconic tram, something I have always wanted to do. Jacky found seats for us right at the front of the car. It was so much fun, and gave us a different perspective of the route than one gets on foot.
The next time we visit Hong Kong, I will check to see what other neighborhoods Jacky can reveal to us.
