<p>This is a great Tour if you are planning to stay in Macau overnight. We enjoyed the fast Ferry Ride over, and the Day Tour was very organised. A little bit of walking in this Tour as drop off in main area- around St Paul Ruins and Macau Museum, also have to walk back to where the Bus parks. On the way back their is a small souvenir shop with nice products.. We didn't mind the walking , as it was nice to see the streets of Macau. Buffet Lunch was nice, money changer around the corner bonus .. Macau Tower was amazing, can see China mainland and people bungee jump off the top Macau Tower optional and added expense if you want to go up, others can stay below and look at shops or have something at the coffee shop. Enjoyed seeing the Temple, make sure you ask in advance to get a Portuguese Tart during your day, they taste amazing!!! ... Briefly went to The Sands Casino and thats where our tour ended, we caught a free Shuttle Bus onto The Parisian to spend the night.<br/> Five Stars, this was a very convenient tour if you are planning to see Macau and stay overnight.</p>
<p>Great way to visit Macau and see the main historical attractions. Good guide, knowledgeable. Macau's historical center is a must see. Temples, the ruins of St Paul, all within few steps of each other. Great way to spend the day.</p>
<p>Good trip, very hot in Macau. Worth checking your hotel is on the pickup list as we had to travel across Island for pickup.</p>
<p>The tour, pickup in Hong Kong and drop-off at our hotel in Macau went very well, without any problems. Our guide was very knowledgeable and all in all, we enjoyed our tour. We are not gamblers, which is the main attraction, but enjoyed the historical tour.</p>
