Itinerary
After meeting at the airport, in just 24 minutes we will reach the island of Hong Kong using the fastest and most efficient transport in the city: the Airport Express train.
The highest point on the island of Hong Kong is without a doubt where we will find the best panoramic views to appreciate the intensity of the skyscrapers and their mixture with nature.
We will return to the financial area in the famous Peak Tram.
We will walk its ostentatious streets as we learn about the interesting practices of Feng Shui and its role in the design of the city.
Through the longest sequence of exterior escalators in the world we will reach Tai Kwun.
We will arrive at Tai Kwun, a former police, judicial and prison complex converted into an emblematic space that merges heritage with contemporary culture.
We will walk along Hollywood Road and pause among the particular aromas of incense to visit a prominent place of worship in Hong Kong, known for its impressive traditional architecture and incense spirals, which pay homage to the gods of literature and war.
We will cross Tsim Sha Tsui by subway and visit the Avenue of Stars, ideal place to take photos of the incredible skyscraper silhouette of Hong Kong.
We will return to Hong Kong Island in the iconic Star Ferry ship.
The tour will end at the Hong Kong station, where we will say goodbye to return to the airport on the Airport Express train on our own. If you want the guide to accompany you back to the airport consider 30 minutes within the duration of the tour.

- Itineraries: The detailed itinerary corresponds to the 6-hour tour. If you opt for a shorter or longer tour, we will create an itinerary tailored to your interests and time available. Itineraries are customized according to the tastes and preferences of the clients. The visit to all the places on the suggested itinerary will depend on your walking pace and the stops you decide to make (for example, for coffee, lunch or using the toilet). Your guide will help you make the most of the time.
- Duration: We recommend starting the tour 1 hour after your flight landing, and as a limit, returning to the airport 2.5 hours before your next flight, to make sure you arrive 2 hours in advance. To get to and from the city, we will use the Airport Express train, which connects the airport to the city in just 24 minutes and has a train frequency every 10 minutes.
- Start and end of the tour: The tour starts when you meet your guide at the airport and ends when you return to the airport, so it is important to consider 1 hour of the tour for roundtrip transfers. To optimize your time with the guide in the city, you can finish the tour at Hong Kong Airport Express train station and return to the airport without the guide following his directions (train ticket included).
- Flight delay: If the flight is delayed and this affects the start time, we may extend the tour for an additional cost, provided the guide has availability.
- Luggage: If you prefer not to carry luggage during the tour, you can use the airport storage service. The cost is US$ 2 per piece per hour, and payment can be made by credit card.
- Money exchange: To optimize the tour time, public transport is included in the price. You will only need to cover the cost of food, drink and entrance fees to the paid attractions you wish to visit; these costs may be paid by credit card. It will only be necessary to bring cash in local currency for purchases at street markets, and if you decide to use a taxi. Feel free to contact us in advance if you have any questions.
- Transport: If you choose the public transport tour option, you will travel using the city’s excellent transport system (subway, ferry, bus, minibus, tram, etc.). If you opt for the tour by private transport, the itinerary may be affected by traffic.
- Hike: It is recommended to be prepared for a moderate walk throughout the course (4-10 km), so we suggest wearing comfortable shoes. On some tour routes, it is possible to reduce the walks by taking a taxi (not included in the tour price).
- Weather conditions: In the event of a Typhoon 8 signal or higher, or a red or black rain alert, the tour will be automatically cancelled and the full amount paid will be refunded. If available, the tour will be coordinated for an alternative date.
