Introduction of the "One Country, Two Systems" principle began in 1997 when Hong Kong was handed over to China. What is it? How is it practiced? And what happens after 2047?
Discover why Feng Shui is so important in Hong Kong and how it has shaped the city's skyline. You'll also hear the story of a legendary Feng Shui showdown between the Chinese and the British.
Starting with the iconic HSBC lions, you'll learn why they appear on Hong Kong currency and how the city's coastline and financial district have developed over time.
Explore the history of Hong Kong, from its days as a fishing village before British rule, to becoming a British possession in 1842, and its inevitable handover back to China in 1997. Along the way, your guide will share their own family history, offering a unique and personal perspective on the city's transformation.
We'll take a ride together on the Peak Tram — opened in 1888, it was the first funicular in Asia—and ascend to Victoria Peak!
From an observation deck with a panoramic view of Hong Kong Island, you'll be introduced to the city's skyline and its most significant landmarks.
You'll have 30 minutes to explore and enjoy Victoria Peak at your own pace.
Take a ride on Hong Kong's beloved transportation—the minibus. You will travel through the winding road of the Peak back to Central.
How Hong Kong's extreme rental economy became the defining force in shaping its urban landscape, including the reality of subdivided living units.
Taste a hearty bowls of shrimp-packed dumplings in amber flounder and monk fruit broth—a refugee chef’s reinvention of a 2,000-year-old dumpling tradition.

At one of the oldest temples in Hong Kong, our guide will show you how to properly visit the temple and perform an incense offering and fortune-telling exercise.
Once a street filled with refugees from China selling their family antiques to survive in Hong Kong, you will learn about the evolution of this street as well as the remaining trades that still exist in this market.
Taste an influence from British colonization — egg tart and milk tea! This dish came from Hong Kongers' innovation due to a lack of resources in the post-war economy.
Hop on the Hong Kong Tramway, a beloved mode of transportation since 1904. It has outlived its London predecessor and still carries over a hundred thousand passengers daily.

The Guide: Our guide was the owner, Michael. His English is perfect, he is incredibly patient, and he is highly accommodating. As a Berkeley graduate who spent time in the U.S., his sharp intellect shines through. The Experience: This tour provides a wonderful, comprehensive overview of Hong Kong. Michael covers local culture, history, geography, the banking and finance industry, and local food. The Personal Touch: Every detail is delivered through fascinating personal stories and unique insights from a true local perspective. What to Expect: We are a couple in our 60s, so we definitely felt tired by the end, but it was absolutely time well spent. Top Tip: Wear your most comfortable shoes! Once you do that, the rest is completely taken care of by your wonderful guide.

The route is well-planned, you visit the highlights, and the knowledgeable guide gives us information not only about what we see but also about the daily life of the inhabitants of Hong Kong. The only downside is the Disappointing and meager lunch, as was the sun break; it is at a typical restaurant, but there is not even the possibility of sitting down after a day.

Summer is hands down one of the most energetic, passionate, and thorough tour guides I’ve ever met! From the moment we started, her energy was non-stop, keeping us totally engaged with an endless stream of fascinating stories, local history, and quirky anecdotes. What really sets Summer apart is her attention to detail—she carried a tablet filled with historical photos and visual aids to match every story she told, which brought the city’s past to life in such a vivid way. Whether she was breaking down the architectural rivalry between major banks in Central, explaining the post-WWII history behind the stained glass at St. John’s Cathedral, or sharing wild jailhouse tales about Ho Chi Minh at Tai Kwun, the visuals made everything click. She constantly went above and beyond for our group. At Victoria Peak, she didn't just point out the view—she actively helped us find the absolute best photo spots and made sure everyone got incredible shots of the skyline. Even during our trek down Lugard Road, through the antique markets of Cat Street, and over traditional milk tea and tarts, her enthusiasm never flagged for a second. If you want a tour that is seamless, deeply informative, and ridiculously fun, book with Summer. She truly gives 110%!
