About this experience
You will get to know this unusual and very beautiful city, where the traditions of the East and the West intertwine in a remarkable way. Visit its ancient fishing quarters and modern neighborhoods filled with skyscrapers. You will also experience the unique urban atmosphere by trying out almost all forms of local transportation. I will tell you in detail the interesting history of Hong Kong, share observations about the city's modern life, and reveal secrets that you won't find on the internet or in guidebooks!
What to Expect
Main City Attractions
You will visit the central part of the city, where most skyscrapers are concentrated, along with the preserved colonial buildings. Explore the Aberdeen area, closely linked to the history of Hong Kong. I will tell you about the origins of the city's name, where the English steamships first arrived, and where movies about old Hong Kong were filmed. Take a break from the city hustle in the Central Park—a true green oasis amidst skyscrapers that will be enjoyed by both adults and children. The highlight of the tour will be a visit to the observation platform at Victoria Peak, 428 meters above sea level, and a stroll along the magnificent waterfront, offering breathtaking views of Hong Kong Island.
Diversity of Public Transportation
During the tour, you will ride on an antique funicular that inclines at a 45-degree angle at some points, feel the breeze on the second floor of a double-decker bus, sail across Victoria Harbour on a ferry, and also ride on an old Chinese sampan between the boats of local fishermen and super-modern yachts of Hong Kong oligarchs. You will also get acquainted with the local metro system. After my tour, you will navigate the city like a local resident!
