Because we had only 2,5 hours we thought that we could only see a little bit of Honkkong. But Karen Lee has shown us so much more with even the ferry to Kowloon and brought us to the trainstation right on time. She explaned us everything we saw. We walked approx 10km and loved every step of it. She was probably the best guide we could hope for.

Dennis took us on a in-depth and interesting walking tour of Hong Kong. As a professional photographer, Dennis took many memorable photographs of us as we walked through local markets and historical sites. After the tour was over, Dennis took us back to our hotel via a fun excursion via a ferry boat ride across the harbour. Thank you Dennis. Your personalized walking tour of Hong Kong was fun.
