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

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.

Wir genossen eine äusserst interessante, achtstündige Tour in deutscher Sprache. Hans kennt sich hervorragend aus und zeigte uns viele Details, an denen man als Tourist sonst ahnungslos vorbei geht. Die Zeit verging wie im Flug. Der Ablauf gestaltete sich nicht so, dass einzelne Punkte nach Programm abgehakt wurden. Wir konnten das Programm laufend je nach Befindlichkeit flexibel mitgestalten. Hans ist ein guter Kommunikator, pünktlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Es hat sich gelohnt. Der Tag wird unvergessen bleiben und wir können Hans absolut empfehlen! We enjoyed an extremely interesting eight-hour tour in German. Hans is extremely knowledgeable and showed us many details that tourists would otherwise pass by without knowing. Time flew by. The process was not designed in such a way that individual points were checked off according to the program. We were able to flexibly shape the program on an ongoing basis depending on your mood. Hans is a good communicator, punctual and very helpful. It was worth it. The day will remain unforgettable and we can absolutely recommend Hans!

We had an amazing 4-hour tour with Hans as our guide! He took us to some incredible highlights and hidden gems around Hong Kong, providing us with a rich blend of history, culture, and local insights. Hans made the experience truly personal by sharing valuable life lessons that left a lasting impression. He also took great photos of us, which we'll cherish as wonderful memories of our trip. If you're looking for a guide who is both knowledgeable and personable, Hans is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!
