We had a perfect day visiting Lantau, the Big Buddha and Tai O village with Alexandra. She is gentle, knowledgeable and a lovely person to learn from and to be guided by. We very much enjoyed our time with her visiting this beautiful green and calm island and gaining insider knowledge. I couldn't recommend her and a visit to Lantau more!

Our guide Stephanie was great. Very punctual, she arrived a bit earlier than agreed to pick us up. We did an itinerary that involved a cable car ride, a visit to the Buddha, and then we went down to the fishing village of Tai O. At all times, Stephanie explained what we were seeing, the reasons behind each thing, and engaged us with the local history. From simple things like the history of the airport's construction or the bridge to Macau, to more historical aspects such as the Opium Wars and the constitution of Hong Kong. Furthermore, her knowledge as a guide helped us optimize the tour, avoiding queues and the busiest times at attractions, which not only saved time but also made the tour more relaxed and stress-free. I highly recommend taking this tour with Stephanie.

we did the private walking tour of lantau island, including the big buddha and tai o village. Our guide (Alex) really tried to find special things to entertain our young girls, pointed out good locations to try street food, and found us a nice spot for lunch on the beach. Having a guide was great, because navigating the queues for the cable car aren't straight forward and she was able to show us more of the village than we would have explored on our own. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins but that is a gamble with any tour. Though we had younger children (5-7), there is a lot of walking on this tour (probably around 10K steps) and it wouldn't work well with strollers. We only did this one tour with the company but Alex was very knowledgeable about the city and could likely do a great job with any of their tours.

Alex was a wonderful tour guide who gave us a private tour of Lantau Island and Tai O. She was very informative and passed on to us a lot of information about The history of Hong Kong and Lantau Island, the people, and culture. We explored with Alex by foot, subway, cable car and ferry which helped to immerse us in the everyday life on the islands. We highly recommend booking your next tour with Alex. Awesome guide!!

What an incredible way to experience the beauty of Lantau Island!!! We met STEPHANIE (our SUPERB GUIDE) at our hotel. She led us to the MTA subway for an enjoyable ride to the Lantau Island Cable Car. We then took at 25 minute cable car ride to view the Giant Buddha... an incredible sight!!! We climbed the 266 steps for an up close and personal view of the Buddha. Stephanie then led us on a tour of the Monastery and then on to a small boat ride to Tai O Village. We toured this amazing village and ate a delicious lunch at a unique and atmospheric local eatery. After lunch, we continued our tour of Tai O Village. We visited a Taoist Temple and then took a bus to the MTA and rode the MTA back to Kowloon. Stephanie then led us to the Lady's Market, just a few blocks from our hotel. Thanks to Stephanie, it was truly a great day!!! .
