Your private tour begins with a comfortable, seamless drive directly to the summit of Victoria Peak, bypassing the often long queues for the Peak Tram. From the lookout points, you will be treated to the world-famous, breathtaking panorama of the Hong Kong skyline, Victoria Harbour, and the Kowloon peninsula. Your personal driver-guide will point out key landmarks and share fascinating stories about the city's development. This is the perfect spot to capture those iconic, postcard-perfect photos of Hong Kong from its most famous vantage point.

Admission included15 min

Your tour includes pre-arranged entry to Sky Terrace 428, the absolute highest 360-degree viewing platform in Hong Kong. Standing 428 meters above sea level, you will experience the most breathtaking, unobstructed panorama the city has to offer. But you won't just be looking at a view; your expert guide will bring it to life. You will have key landmarks pointed out across the sprawling metropolis—from the iconic skyscrapers of the financial district to the bustling shores of Kowloon and the green islands beyond. This is your moment to capture those truly epic, postcard-perfect photos while gaining a deep understanding of Hong Kong's geography and history, all enjoyed without the hassle of queuing for tickets.

Admission included30 min

While our tour is specifically designed to save you valuable time by driving you directly to the summit, you will still see the historic Peak Tram funicular railway during your visit. Your guide will share the fascinating 130-year history of this iconic engineering marvel and explain its importance to the city. By choosing this driving tour, you get to learn about the tram's legacy without spending an hour or more waiting in line, allowing you more time to enjoy the spectacular views at the top.

30 min

From your prime vantage point at Victoria Peak, you'll gaze upon the magnificent Victoria Harbour, the bustling waterway that is the lifeblood of the city. You will see the constant parade of ferries, container ships, and traditional junks set against the iconic skylines of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Your guide will explain its historical and economic significance, bringing the stunning view to life. It’s a view you will see not only from the Peak but also as you travel, providing a dynamic perspective of the city's heart.

120 min

This is where your tour's exclusive access truly shines. Thanks to our special permit, we drive you directly to the base of the Tian Tan Big Buddha, bypassing all public transport queues and long walks from distant car parks. You'll stand in awe of the majestic 34-meter bronze statue, a symbol of harmony and peace. You have the option to climb the 268 steps for a closer look and panoramic mountain views, or simply admire its serene grandeur from the plaza below, all made effortless by our unique door-to-door service.

15 min

Just a short, easy stroll from the Big Buddha, you'll discover the tranquility of Po Lin Monastery, one of Hong Kong's most important Buddhist sanctums. With the time saved by our direct access, you can leisurely wander through ornate temple halls, admire the intricate architecture, and observe the peaceful rituals of resident monks amidst the fragrant scent of incense. Your guide will be on hand to share insights into the monastery's history and cultural importance, enriching your visit.

15 min

Your private vehicle will drop you off right at the entrance to Ngong Ping Village, the cultural hub that serves as the gateway to the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. This charming, themed village offers a variety of shops, eateries, and cultural attractions. You'll have free time to browse for unique souvenirs, grab a snack, or simply soak in the vibrant atmosphere before or after visiting the main sights, all without the rush of a typical tour group.

Admission included60 min

Our tour is uniquely designed to maximize your sightseeing time by using our exclusive vehicle permit to drive you directly to the Big Buddha. This allows you to completely bypass the often lengthy queues for the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, which can frequently exceed an hour. While you will see the spectacular cable car system gliding over the mountains, you'll enjoy the superior comfort, speed, and convenience of a private, door-to-door experience, ensuring your half-day tour is relaxing and efficient.

Worth Every Penny! The ONLY Way to See the Peak & Buddha!

I only had a few days in Hong Kong and was determined to see both Victoria Peak and the Big Buddha, but I’d heard horror stories about the queues. I found this tour and it honestly saved our trip. Our guide, Jacky, was fantastic. He picked me up from my hotel and from the moment I got in the car, he was sharing fascinating stories about the city. This wasn't just a driver, he was a proper guide who clearly loves Hong Kong. The whole day was just so... easy. Being driven straight to the top of the Peak felt like a total VIP move while we saw the huge line for the tram snaking down the hill. The view from the Sky Terrace was incredible, and he pointed out everything so I knew what I was looking at. Riding the tram down was fun, and seeing our car waiting for us right at the bottom was brilliant. No stress, no hunting for a taxi. But the best part was Lantau Island. We saw the massive crowds waiting for buses, but our car had a special permit and drove right up to the village. I can't stress how much time and energy this saved me. It meant I had plenty of time to actually enjoy the Big Buddha and the monastery without feeling rushed. Finishing with the Crystal Cabin cable car on the way down was the perfect end. The glass floor is a bit nerve-wracking but the views are insane! And again, Jacky was waiting with the car right at the bottom to take me back to my hotel. It's not the cheapest tour, but when you factor in the tickets, the time you save not queuing (honestly, probably 3-4 hours saved), and the amazing guide, it's incredible value. Highly, highly recommend.

Want to visit Hong Kong you are in the right hands with This is Asia Private Tour

We had a wonderful 5-hour transit tour in Hong Kong with Asia Tours, and it couldn’t have been better! Everything was perfectly organized to make the most of our short time. A special thank you to our tour manager, Jacky Wong, who was amazing throughout. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive to our needs. Jacky shared great insights about the city while keeping the pace just right, so we never felt rushed or tired. It was the perfect way to experience Hong Kong in a short time, and we truly appreciate the excellent service. Highly recommend both Asia Tours and Jacky for anyone looking to explore the city!
