We had an amazing private tour with Kiyo in March 2025! He took us to so many places we never would have explored on our own, and we learned a ton about life in Hong Kong. We went to a few Michelin spots and had this amazing chilled noodle dish we still talk about. We've been on a bunch of food tours and this one was excellent, one of our favorites. Thank you!

Our flight from Vietnam to San Francisco included an eight-hour layover in Hong Kong and rather than just hanging out in the terminal, we wanted to get out of the airport and see some of the local sites. We were delighted to find Hello Hong Kong's Four-Hour Custom Private Tour. To minimize the stress of the entire process, we booked an airport pickup for an hour after our scheduled arrival. The arrangements were awesome and included contact info for the guide and accommodations for our requests to see the maximum number of sites and exclude any food stops or shopping. I received a WhatsApp message from our guide (Alfred) while we were standing in the immigration line and he was waiting for us at the prearranged location in the terminal. Alfred whisked us to our van and we immediately took off for the city. We visited the financial center and made a brief stop where Alfred reviewed some of HK's history using a timeline sculpted into the side of the HSBC building. From there we went directly to the funicular departure point (Lower Peak Tram Station) for the trip to the Victoria Peak tower where Alfred skillfully maneuvered us past a massive group of tourists using his Oyster card to get near the front of the queue. That saved us tons of time and upon reaching the top we had some breathtaking views of Hong Kong. The van was waiting for us when we exited from the tower and we drove to the Aberdeen Fishing Village where we embarked on a private sampan ride, gliding past the floating village and the historic Tai Pak Floating Restaurant. This experience provided an authentic glimpse into Hong Kong’s traditional fishing culture. Alfred had pre-arranged the ride and the boat was ready to go when we arrived. After that, our time was up and we drove back to the airport where Alfred escorted us to the immigration checkpoint. Getting in and out of the terminal was hassle free. U.S. citizens do not need a visa for a brief visit and if your luggage is checked through to your final destination, you can bring your carry on and keep it in the van during the tour. You present your passport and boarding pass when you get back to the airport and you can pass through security, just like in the U.S, Overall, we got a great overview of Hong Kong and its history during this brief visit and had a great time with Alfred. He was incredible -- thoroughly prepared and professional. The driver (Dixon?) was fantastic and did a marvelous job piloting us safely and calmly from stop to stop in a minimum amount of time. They both made sure we got back to the airport on time. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone else who has a brief layover in Hong Kong. Rather than just idling away the time in the terminal, getting out of the airport for a brief tour was a fantastic way to experience one of the great cities of the world in a limited amount of time. One small tip: before leaving the terminal stop by an ATM and pick up some Hong Kong dollars (maybe $500 HK is enough?) to pay for the incidental expenses (the trip to Victoria Peak Tower and the sampan ride) not included in the tour price.

This tour was among the among our favorites of all time. The top-notch street food (and some sit-down food) combined with walking and shopping the colorful streets of Kowloon was delightful. It was all brought to life by our guide Mel, who was engaging, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour!

Sinclair was our Tour guide. He was excellent he is such a friendly person, very professional, and gave us such a wonderful explanation of Hong Kong and all the sites that we visited. I am happy to give him a five star review and I would recommend I’m highly to anyone interested in seeing Hong Kong Dan and Nancy G

Sinclair was very knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive, He explained everything clearly and wanted to gear the tour to our interests

Mel was amazing, upbeat and knowledgeable about Hong Kong. We were so full that we just tasted the last stop. Mel even took us to our last subway stop ... I guess we looked confused, out of his way, and I'm sure he was tired. Great tour!

Exceptional Hong Kong Tour with Alfred! We had limited time in Hong Kong and wanted to make the most of it, so we booked a full-day tour with Hello Hong Kong. Alfred, our guide, was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and highly intuitive to our needs. He was fluent in English, easy to understand, and incredibly flexible in adjusting the itinerary to cover both Hong Kong and Lantau Islands—a challenging feat given the logistics. Alfred crafted a thoughtful itinerary that included all our must-see spots and even fit in a stop at a specific restaurant we wanted to visit. Highlights included: - Peak Tram to Victoria Peak - Downtown stroll past landmarks like the HSBC complex - Visit to the Big Buddha, Po Lin Monastery, and the Wisdom Path (a hidden gem Alfred recommended) - Lunch at Tim Ho Wan for Michelin-starred dumplings - Ride on the world’s longest outdoor escalator - Exploring Tai Kwun, Hollywood Road, and Man Mo Temple Alfred’s expertise and warmth made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend him as a guide for anyone visiting Hong Kong.

Mel was a great guide for our 7 hour private tour of Hong Kong. He was very knowledgeable of the city and its history. He was very accommodating for our group and customized the tour to fit our requests.

Sinclair was fantastic. He took me and my family on an incredibly informed tour of the food on Hong Kong island. Highlights included dim sum, beef noodle soup, and the outdoor markets. Sinclair was full of facts and antidotes throughout the tour and took wonderful pictures of our experience. Thank you Sinclair for the great memory!

We really enjoyed this trip . Mel was an excellent guide . He mixed culture with excellent food and drinks . We went around the markets, had samples of street food, mixed with eating in the street and at tables, along with enjoying all the culture and sights that Kowloon offers. This really is worth doing .

The food was much better than I expected. Our guide Mel, speaks perfect English. He told us interesting stories of the food history and cultural history of Hong Kong. He got us extra food that I do not think was part of tour, including satisfying my wife wish to try Durian fruit. He went way out of his way to make sure everyone got to try something that they really liked.

Alfred was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who expertly navigated us through Hong Kong. Our itinerary included going to Aberdeen fishing village, Victoria Peak, Symphony of Lights on the Promenade, and Temple Street Night Market. We rode the train, taxi, bus, and sampan boat. This Hello Hong Kong tour was a memorable experience in just 5 hours.

The experience was amazing. Mel delivered a complete and super fun tour of Hong Kong. I had been 5 years ago in HK, and I loved it but was not really amazed by it. But after this tour, we long to return and enjoy more of the city. Mel took us to see many sites by taking us in car and also walking. We tried local fried soup dumplings in Michelin recommended street food restaurant (Cheung Hing Kee soup buns), the Tai Cheong Egg Tartas well as XTC. gelato. We visited victoria Peak, Peak tram, St John's cathedral, HSBC headquarters, Supreme Court, IFC mall and lookout, the Midlevel travellator, the Central Market, Nan Lian Garden and the Chi Lin Nunnery. Mel was super pleasant and friendly. Highly, highly recommended.

Sinclair was awesome! We learned a lot about the local customs, culture, facts and food. I would highly recommend this tour in Hong Kong.

We had half-day private tour with Kiyo. He is a fantastic tour guide and brings the real Hong Kong to life. He is able to quickly change the itinerary to do what interests you. We ended with a feeling we learned more about Hong Kong in 4 hours than we would have learned in days by ourselves.
