A great Hong Kong experience - We booked one tour with CityUnscripted, for a half-day tour of Hong Kong, and then we were able to arrange with them for a full day tour of Lantau Island and another full day exploring Hong Kong with the same guide. The people at CityUnscripted were very helpful and accommodating with this.
Simon was a wonderful guide. He had lived a long time in both Hing Kong and Canada, so he spoke perfect English and Chinese, and he understood both the local culture and our perspective.
Because these were private tours, we were able to customize what we wanted to see and how much time to spend at each attraction. Simon was very flexible and understanding. He was also very knowledgeable about the history and details of the places we visited. He kept the pace going briskly, without being rushed. The places we ate were not tourist traps at all but filled with locals.
He met us at our hotel each morning, and then we traveled by foot, cab, subway, bus, and ferry.

Book cosmos for your Hong Kong tour! - Our guide Cosmos met us at our hotel. He took us from the hotel to the mrt showing us points of interest on the way. He helped us buy the mrt tickets and showed us how to use the machine for future reference. He took us to three different temples and was very knowledgeable informing us about local customs and traditions. With his guidance we were able to make the most of the rest of our trip. Brilliant guide and great communication friendly as well.

Brilliant tour with Mark - Really enjoyed my 6 hour tour of Hong Kong with Mark. Absolutely brilliant guide, and even managed to find a local place that could do a gluten free lunch for me. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to see Hong Kong, especially if you are limited on time.

So much info in a small timeframe - Awesome experience and truly tailored to whatever you want to see most about Hong Kong. We asked for a lot and got a lot and it was awesome to fit so much into a small timeframe to really let us feel familiar with so many awesome aspects of the city.

100 stars! - Let me start off by saying Mark is such a genuinely nice human being! Right from the booking, he communicated without any delays and provided a bespoke itinerary to meet my custom requirements. He communicated when he was running a few minutes late and also suggested ways for me to save money.
He went way above and beyond by even carrying my purchases in the hot Hong Kong weather so I could focus my efforts in taking pictures! He even checked in on me after the tour. He has become a good friend! Mark knows Hong Kong like the back of his hand and has a great sense of humor to keep us entertained! Book your next HK tour with Mark - you will not be disappointed!

Great Hong Kong tour - Very pleasant trip. Alfred was a great tour guide. He truly helped us explore the city. The local dim sum restaurant where we are lunch was amazing too. Much better than the Dim Sum in California.

Super! - On the day of arrival in Hong Kong we enjoyed, with our large family, the private tour of guide Simon. He showed us the authentic Hong Kong and ate the best dimsum ever with us. Very nice day! Simon is an enthusiastic and engaging guide!
