Highly recommended - This ride was exciting. Stéphanie knows Hong Kong and the people who have marked its history very well. We visited the different cemeteries around Happy Valley, which was an opportunity to immerse ourselves in this history and revisit it through the anecdotes linked to the people buried in the different tombs that we came across. Stephanie had chosen the tombs so that they illustrated the major periods of Hong Kong's history, the diversity of its population, the difficulties encountered by the first arrivals, their traditions and sometimes their tragic destinies. Without forgetting the explanations on the architecture and the particular layout of the cemeteries. I highly recommend this tour.

John's review - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. The stories were relevant to the history of Hong Kong. A picture of hoe the city got to where it is today based on the historical events and the people drove our culture forward.

Great Tour - It was a great and insightful tour for our family. Stephanie is a very knowledgeable and engaging guide and we learnt a lot of new facts about history of Hong Kong from this amazing Cemeteries Tour. It was interesting and educational for both adults (my husband and me) and our three sons (aged 11, 9 and 6) who asked a lot of questions and are

Good tour of a hidden gym - the happy valley cemetery. - Our tour guide was very informative and showed us a side of Hong Kong that I didn't know about after living here for two years. Thanks for the tour!

Well worth doing - I was a little apprehensive about how good teh tour would be beforehand but it was really interesting all the way through. The guide, Stephanie, was very knowledgeable and and open to answer further questions. We went to Muslim, Catholic, and Hong Kong cemeteries and stopped at some graces where she explained a little about the people buried there. We also went to the Parsee, Jewish, and Hindu cemeteries, and although we couldn't enter, she explained a little about them from the gates. All in all, a very good experience.

Cemetery tour with teens - Fantastic tour, with some beautiful scenic cemeteries and a wealth of local knowledge a la tour guide Stefanie. Very do-able with teenagers along for the ride. Am already highly recommending to friends and their families but my advice is to go perhaps a little later in the year when the humidity comes down a bit!

Highly recommend Stefanie’s tour! - Stefanie conducted an excellent tour at a comfortable pace through four cemeteries where she shared ‘just enough’ detail to keep it engaging but not so much that you were overwhelmed. Highly recommend this tour but come prepared with water, walking shoes and an umbrella (sun protection).
