Stephanie was a polite, patience and highly knowledgeable tour guide. She made the experience educational and highly enjoyable in learning Hong Kong’s historical scenery. Stephanie explained everything from the simple MTR subway through the subway stations to the magnificent ride and view from the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. Stephanie expertly maneuvered through Ngnong Ping Village, Divine Generals Alley, Po Lin Buddhist Monastery, Ten Thousand Buddha Grand Hall and Tai O Fishing Village and provided great insight and valued historical data for each of these great Hong Kong landmarks. We also shared an amazing lunch at an local village restaurant. Stephanie provided a recap and detailed synopsis of my exact tour as occurred which proved invaluable to my own detailed journal for my Hong Kong visit. Bravo Zulu Stephanie, thank you! I will take this tour again when I visit Hong Kong and highly recommend this tour to family, friends or anyone visiting Hong Kong.Written January 1, 2025

We 've discovered another Hong Kong thanks to the tour and her knowledges. We were with 3 kids under 8 and they loved it ! very family friendly. Stephanie has fully adapted the tour to our possibilites and capabilities.Written December 31, 2024
- vaishnavis3490 contributionsBest guide everI wanted to take advantage of the long layover but was skeptical about it given my pregnancy. Serendipity led me to Alexandra. Not only did she customize the trip to suit my needs but also guided me on every step including PAR. She was knowledgeable about every aspect of HKG including history from eras, short cuts to get to places, and made the trip very interesting and informative. Her helpful and kind demeanor made it all the more enjoyable. Highly recommended guide especially for families and for women who travel solo.Written December 29, 2024
- thomascN7527KV0 contributionsA great introduction to Hong Kong!This tour was the highlight of our trip! As first-time visitors from the U.S., we didn’t know the first place to start in planning our sightseeing. Our guide Alexandra took care of all of that and brought us all around on a comprehensive tour. Enjoyed it so much that we would come back to Hong Kong in a heartbeat, and after this tour, we feel totally comfortable navigating around on our own.Written December 12, 2024
- Tomvulcan0 contributionsGreat Way to Get to Know Hong KongAlexandra gave us a wonderful tour of Hong Kong and shared her extensive knowledge of the city and the customs. She showed us how people worshiped at the Man Mo Temple. Taking the subway, buses and vernacular to the Peak was a great way to see how people traveled in the city.Written December 10, 2024
- janeaX2012MR0 contributionsThe personal touch!Stephanie provided us with a wonderful day! We had booked the full day Lantau Island tour but at the last minute a typhoon intervened. Stephanie took us on a lovely walking tour of parts of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island introducing us to things we'd never have otherwise known about. Her pace was comfortable and her knowledge impressive. Best of all, it was just the four of us so we didn't feel like we were being herded in a crowd. She kept three seniors active and so interested we forgot all about missing Lantau. Thanks Stephanie! We loved your feng shui dragon stories!Written December 2, 2024

- juliaQ8613KW0 contributionsTotally entrancingFrom the first moment Stéphanie's tour was absolutely fascinating. Her wealth of knowledge of Hong Kong's history and culture, not to mention its place in the contemporary world, was detailed and superb and brought a rich texture to our experience. We valued her insight hugely and whether in a nunnery, a beautiful landscaped garden, outside an apothecary's shop, appreciating graffiti or on the ferry, she always had something to deepen our understanding and enjoyment. It was a wonderful day and we are grateful to have met her.Written November 19, 2024

- Adrienmn5550 contributionsNice food tour !Nice food tour with Stéphanie! It was nice to discover the typical gastronomy of the city and as well the city during the night. Stéphanie was friendly and interesting.Written May 14, 2024
- Inspire469235077750 contributionsFantastic experience!Mr Chen is a first rate tour guide. His ease of sharing the history and background of the location was delightful. I was traveling for business and was happy to be able to take advantage of seeing this gem. It was well worth the time. I would recommend this to anyone interested in visiting the Big Buddha, seeing the magnificent temple, and experiencing the history of the 500 year Tai O village. If you get lucky as I did, you may even spot the rare pink dolphins during your boat ride (which does require an additional nominal fee from a local boat service). I plan to return again with my family for this same tour once again!Written May 10, 2024

We had a nine hour layover in Hong Kong in route to Bangkok and thought it would be great to have a quick tour of Hong Kong. Fortunately, we chose very well in finding Hong Kong Al a Carte and Alexandra. Alexandra provided a flood of historical and current information in a charming and entertaining way. We felt like we got a rather complete tour of the city in such a short time. While planning I thought a car tour would be better… however I am so glad I chose a walking tour. I think it was much more immersive… walking the streets gave us a good sense of what it might be like to live in this beautiful city. At the end Alexandra was sure to see us off to the next step in our itinerary… hugs all around!
Thanks very much for a wonderful experience!

We did an overnight layover stay in Hong Kong. Even though our plane came one and half hours too late, everything went absolutly smooth and our guide Alexandra picked us up at the airport, organized everything perfectly so we could manage to see as much as possible of Hong Kong and to come back to the airport to get our plane to Frankfurt am Main on time.
We wanted to experience this amazing city as much as possible and Alexandra has managed to make this tour unforgortable for us. She told us so much about history and interesting stories and legends concerning Hong Kong. For me, my husband and our both teenager girls (14 and 16 years old ) it was such a beautiful time with lots of fun and many impressions. Our guide Alex considered all our wishes, she went with us to the most important spots, we also took the Star Ferry to cross the Harbour, tried ice cream, went to the Temple Street night market located in the Jordan district one of Hong Kong’s most authentic area. We have even managed to take a quick bite (noodles with beef and chicken ) at one of the street restaurants.
One of the special wish of our girls also was to visit the Hong Kong Hard Rock Cafe..:-)
It was such a wunderful finishing of our Asia holiday. Thank you very much Alex ! We are still talking about this tour at home now and we can highly recommend it !
You should not miss to make this experience too....;-) JUST GREAT, we loved it !!!

We had a great time with Alexandra who, in addition to being friendly, knows Hong Kong like the back of her hand! In 5 hours, she showed us the history and main places of this magnificent city!
An experience that we can only warmly recommend to all passing visitors!
