Hi there! I'm Hans, your enthusiastic host in the dynamic city of Hong Kong! I adore the vibrant cultural tapestry here, where East meets West in a captivating blend. From traditional temples to modern skyscrapers and bustling markets to serene parks, this city offers a unique cultural experience. As a food lover, Hong Kong’s street food delights are pure heaven, from savory dim sum to crispy egg waffles. I also love hiking, exploring scenic trails like Dragon’s Back, and enjoying the breathtaking views from Lion Rock. I know the city inside out, from Tsim Sha Tsui to the Peak. Let's dive into Hong Kong’s rich culture, history, and stunning natural beauty together!

My reviews

This was one of the best city tours I have been on. Hans knowledge and passion of Hong Kong and its surrounds, history and culture was absolutely amazing. We did the tour with our 15 and 12 year old daughters that were engaged the entire time. Thanks again Hans !

Hans was our tour guide and his passion and knowledge for Hong Kong definitely shined through. We travelled by foot, Uber, Tram, Star Ferry and MTR to the many sites around the city (Victoria Peak, longest escalators, etc.). Lots of history and background included was perfect for us, given my husband is a history buff. We were able to sample food along the way and had a great day hanging out with Hans. Thank you for a great time!

Hans was fantastic - so flexible, patient, kind and knowledge with our four young boys as we navigated Hong Kong for a day. Struck a great balance of culture, history and connection. My 7 year old said it best, “Hans was a nice friend to spend the day with!”

We booked a three hour private tour with Trip Advisor due to limited time on shore. We were lucky to have Hans as our tour guide because he was able to customized & optimized our tour within the 3 hour limit. Our tour was supposed to start on Hongkong Island but Hans was gracious & flexible to allow a last minute change on our plan. Hans was able to show us the city center of Kowloon, how to take a ferry & bus within the 3 hour limit. We wish we had spent more time with Hans instead of the lousy night excursion we had with the cruise ship.
