What travelers think of this experience

Graeme, Feb 2025

CU have done it again! Paired us with a perfect guide for our 6-hour HK hidden gems tour. Karen was knowledgable, professional, friendly and patient. In a few hours, combining walking and the ultra-efficient MRT subway system, she showed us many fascinating places in Kowloon that we would never have seen on our own. Along the way we discussed history, religion, culture, healthcare, housing, food, population mix and demographics, and much more besides. Karen exceeded our expectations for a vegetarian lunch with a great restaurant boasting a superb view of the HK island waterfront. In summary, we couldn’t have been happier with our tour and guide.

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!

We had a great time with Benny who was an informative and interesting guide. He quickly worked out what our interests are and tailored our trip to suit. Benny was also really helpful in helping us plan for our trip the following day. We definitely got more out of our trip to Hong Kong as a result of meeting Benny!

Benny was a really great guide! We travelled on the Ding Ding, buses and the subway and saw so much in the short time we had with him. He explained a lot about Hong Kong life to us and took us for Michelin starred Wan Ton for lunch! Benny also helped us with our plans for the following day, taking time to email information to us which was very kind and helpful. Benny most definitely helped us get the most out of our short time in Hong Kong- thank you!

Simon was a great guide and helped us see most of the highlights of Hong Kong that were relevant to our interests. He was comfortable to be around and it felt more like casually hanging out with an acquaintance rather than just a tour. We got to ride all the different modes of public transportation around the city. He also took a lot of photos for us throughout the day. For the tour company itself, the process was organized and they make an active effort to cater to your interests. Either do your research first and give them a list of what you want to see/do or be willing to let them improvise your itinerary based on your general preferences.

Simón asked us a few questions before and what our requirements were, he tailored it to our requests and was an excellent host very good with taking photos and knowledge of the city was superb
