What travelers think of this experience

Christine, Mar 2025

Had a fabulous experience with Wendy she was an excellent guide showing us different sides to Hong Kong we would have missed without the knowledge of a local guide. Nothing was to much trouble even taking us back to the metro so we caught the right train back to the hotel. Definitely an excellent service above and beyond.
