      Unforgettable tour in Hong Kong
      Wonderful experience with Stephanie, who guided us through an unforgettable tour in Hong Kong. Stephanie's extensive knowledge of the city's history, coupled with her engaging storytelling, made the journey incredibly informative and enjoyable. During our three-hour tour, Stephanie led us to some stunning spots that beautifully combined shopping areas, historic monuments, and breathtaking overviews. The time flew by, and we were so immersed in the experience that we didn't even notice the hours passing. We left with a wealth of knowledge and many great memories to cherish and share.

      Great and memorable day!
      Stephanie was an exceptional guide for our tour to Lantau. She met us at our hotel and guided us through the local transportation to see many stunning sights. She was very knowledgeable, not only about getting around, but in local customs and history. We had many questions and appreciated her insights. Big Buddha did not disappoint and the pink dolphins were active and beautiful. We especially enjoyed the walk through the village and lunch at a local café. Thanks for a great day, Stephanie.

      Great communication and follow through
      Excellent communication for our family. In the end we didn’t get to take this tour as one of us came down sick while on our trip. However, they honored their cancellation policy perfectly and checked to see if there was anything else they could provide for us in another day. I was impressed

      Fascinating HongKong
      Three friends reunited in Hong Kong We had the best day thanks to Stéphanie. From wet markets to small local shops to visiting an old water reservoir to climbing to Wonder views of Hong Kong... you name it... Stéphanie finds it for you. Her extensive knowledge of history and local culture makes any walk with her absolutely fascinating. It is pure joy to spend a day of discovery in your own city. Highly highly recommend Stéphanie and HK à la carte.

      Private Tour Lantau Island-Big Buddha and Tai O Village
      Private Tour Lantau Island-Big Buddha and Tai O Village Booking Number: 1197046711 Confirmation Number: 1581852639 This tour was outstanding and exceeded all expectations. Stephanie was a polite, patience and highly knowledgeable tour guide. She made the experience educational and highly enjoyable in learning Hong Kong’s historical scenery. Stephanie explained everything from the simple MTR subway through the subway stations to the magnificent ride and view from the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. Stephanie expertly maneuvered through Ngnong Ping Village, Divine Generals Alley, Po Lin Buddhist Monastery, Ten Thousand Buddha Grand Hall and Tai O Fishing Village and provided great insight and valued historical data for each of these great Hong Kong landmarks. We also shared an amazing lunch at an local village restaurant. Stephanie provided a recap and detailed synopsis of my exact tour as occurred which proved invaluable to my own detailed journal for my Hong Kong visit. Bravo Zulu Stephanie, thank you! I will take this tour again when I visit Hong Kong and highly recommend this tour to family, friends or anyone visiting Hong Kong.

      Excellent layover tour with caring and charismatic guide!
      We had a nine hour layover in Hong Kong in route to Bangkok and thought it would be great to have a quick tour of Hong Kong. Fortunately, we chose very well in finding Hong Kong Al a Carte and Alexandra. Alexandra provided a flood of historical and current information in a charming and entertaining way. We felt like we got a rather complete tour of the city in such a short time. While planning I thought a car tour would be better… however I am so glad I chose a walking tour. I think it was much more immersive… walking the streets gave us a good sense of what it might be like to live in this beautiful city. At the end Alexandra was sure to see us off to the next step in our itinerary… hugs all around! Thanks very much for a wonderful experience!

      A great introduction to Hong Kong!
      This tour was the highlight of our trip! As first-time visitors from the U.S., we didn’t know the first place to start in planning our sightseeing. Our guide Alexandra took care of all of that and brought us all around on a comprehensive tour. Enjoyed it so much that we would come back to Hong Kong in a heartbeat, and after this tour, we feel totally comfortable navigating around on our own.

      Great Way to Get to Know Hong Kong
      Alexandra gave us a wonderful tour of Hong Kong and shared her extensive knowledge of the city and the customs. She showed us how people worshiped at the Man Mo Temple. Taking the subway, buses and vernacular to the Peak was a great way to see how people traveled in the city.

    I wanted to take advantage of the long layover but was skeptical about it given my pregnancy. Serendipity led me to Alexandra. Not only did she customize the trip to suit my needs but also guided me on every step including PAR. She was knowledgeable about every aspect of HKG including history from eras, short cuts to get to places, and made the trip very interesting and informative. Her helpful and kind demeanor made it all the more enjoyable. Highly recommended guide especially for families and for women who travel solo.

    From the first moment Stéphanie's tour was absolutely fascinating. Her wealth of knowledge of Hong Kong's history and culture, not to mention its place in the contemporary world, was detailed and superb and brought a rich texture to our experience. We valued her insight hugely and whether in a nunnery, a beautiful landscaped garden, outside an apothecary's shop, appreciating graffiti or on the ferry, she always had something to deepen our understanding and enjoyment. It was a wonderful day and we are grateful to have met her.

    Alexandra provided an excellent 8 hour tour of Hong Kong while I had a lengthy layover. Communications before the tour was excellent (was able to determine preferences of what to see) and also feel comfortable about avoiding any issues with recent demonstrations/disruptions. The tour itself was excellent, well paced and informative.
