Excellent experience. Jackie was kind enough to pick us up at the train station instead of the airport, which helped us relieve the stress of having to find a ride to the airport. The actual tour was well-thought out in terms of laying out the history of Hong Kong, which helped us understand this region much better. The car was comfortable and he provided water and snacks. We would definitely take another tour with him when we come back to this part of the world.
EXCELLENT experience! My husband and I were on a layover in Hong Kong for 12 hours and booked this tour with Jackie. It was truly the best decision ever! He was kind enough to pick us up at the train station so we would not stress out. In addition, the tour gave an incredible break down of the history of Hong Kong and we got to taste many snacks that are unique to Hong Kong. We definitely plan to go back and take a night tour with Jackie.
My tour guide was Sydney and she was awesome. Had a great time seeing Kong Kong. The trip was worth it.
We booked a 72 hour stay-over in Hong Kong on our way to Bali. Jacky Wong, owner of This is Asia created the perfect itinerary to make the most of our short visit. Jacky arranged our airport transfers. Both drivers were prompt and professional! Jacky took us on a full day private tour of Hong Kong. We rode the crystal cable car, the funicular and the trolly visiting the most important sights. Jacky is a wealth of knowledge. We loved walking through the financial district and learning interesting facts about the culture and history of Hong Kong. We even had a chance to sample the current most popular culinary treats.. Jacky also gave us recommendations to enjoy our last evening. It was definitely a perfect visit to Hong Kong!
I enjoyed a wonderful day in Hong Kong with Sabrina. I specified my flight details when booking, and Sabrina contacted me the day before to confirm everything. She met me at arrivals and made everything very easy. Sabrina is very knowledgeable about Hong Kong and was excited to show me around. We explored the city from many angles and vantage points. Having never been in Hong Kong before, I really felt I knew it much better by the end of our day. I would encourage you to tell Sabrina about your interests — she can tailor things to what you’re most interested in. She was also patient with me and checking on my well being often, given I was on little sleep from my prior flight.
I strongly recommend taking this private tour during your layover in Hong Kong. It’s the perfect way to experience an incredible city, enjoy amazing food, and be guided by an exceptional host. Jacky is professional, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable about the area. He’s also one of the few guides who offers tours during nighttime layovers, which truly shows his dedication and passion. I went with a friend while traveling to South Korea, and we would absolutely do it again. We explored Hong Kong’s bustling street markets, Halloween celebrations, Victoria Peak, Victoria Harbour, and several hidden gems that most tourists miss. A truly memorable experience! 10/10 would recommend. - Julian
Jacky was really knowledgeable and friendly. He was prompt and tailored the tour to meet our time table. The local food options we visited were great!
Highly efficient service. They took care of me all the way to the airport gate. I would highly recommend their service package to anyone.
Jacky was amazing, in 6 hrs we got to see a lot of what Hong Kong has to show and the best part is that we felt like locals! We got on train, public buses, subway and even on a boat! During the tour we visited the Victoria Peak, Financial district including famous HSBC building, Hollywood rd, Dim Sum and much more. Jacky took us to a local restaurant were we were able to try very authentic cantonese food as well.
It was a great experience, learned and seen a lot! There is no way possible we could have seen everything we did on our own. We highly recommend.
