Shenzen visit - I took a custom tour from Hong kong to Shenzen and it was brilliant. I honestly could not have done it myself because venturing into China on your own for the first time is extremely daunting. Stephanie was very knowledgeable on everything and she provided me with the ample historical context to understand properly China. Plus she is fun and beware she loves hiking so she can walk you anywhere!

Great and memorable day! - Stephanie was an exceptional guide for our tour to Lantau. She met us at our hotel and guided us through the local transportation to see many stunning sights. She was very knowledgeable, not only about getting around, but in local customs and history. We had many questions and appreciated her insights. Big Buddha did not disappoint and the pink dolphins were active and beautiful. We especially enjoyed the walk through the village and lunch at a local café. Thanks for a great day, Stephanie.

Trip to Hong Kong - Our tour guide Stefanie was amazing. Incredibly thorough knowledge of the history of the island, including geography and topography, paired with a clear and concise narration. We really enjoyed our tour (and she takes great family photos during the tour as well!!)

To start your stay in HK! - We took our first steps in Hong Kong with Stephanie, it was the best way to start our week-long stay. Stephanie first gave us a clear and structured view of the history of HK, with lots of interesting and fun anecdotes, her experience of recent history too. Then we took a great tour in different places of the city, on foot, the largest escalator in the world, by tram, boat, metro... we saw a lot, without feeling like running, and learning a lot. Very nice lunch break. A very nice start of stay that I recommend to all!

An exciting and friendly introduction to Hong Kong - A full day guided by Stephanie that began with an exciting introduction to Hong Kong and its history. We then visited different neighborhoods on Vitoria Island or Kowlong and emblematic places, talking about such diverse topics as architecture, feng shui, religions, gastronomy, etc. We recommend this visit which allows you to go beyond clichés thanks to Stephanie’s long experience of HKK.

A day to understand the keys of Hong Kong - Stephanie accompanied us on a full day with her family (group of 14 people over three generations) to discover Hong Kong, its history, culture and some of these iconic sites. We appreciated the quality of the preparation, the good balance between factual distance and personal feelings, especially vs recent news. You can feel Stephanie’s attachment and anchoring in this territory that she loves and knows particularly well. This makes all the difference and we had the feeling to “live” a little the reality of HK while keeping the prism and reading keys of a Western look
