Hong Kong, the way you should experience it - I can't say enough about our tour with Ashley. From the very start when I booked the tour (which was months ahead of our trip), she reached out immediately to introduce herself and solicit feedback on how she can make our tour the best it could be. This was our first time in Hong Kong and she made it such a memorable, lasting experience. She was such an expert in sharing her knowledge about Hong Kong, its history and the rich culture. As an added bonus, she introduced us to some fabulous cuisine and highly rated restaurants. We also visited so many interesting areas of the city, traveling every mode of transportation offered, from business districts to the fresh markets to shopping and finally an amazing Chi Lin Nunnery where we explored the Nan Lian Garden. I highly recommend spending time with Ashley, whether you are new to Hong Kong or visiting again. She has a wealth of knowledge, is so friendly and personable and can turn a simple trip into "The Trip of a Lifetime"! Thanks Ashley, you are phenomenal!

A Local's View of Hong Kong! - Ashley is a 5+ guide who knows how to create a tour that delivers what you want to see. We told her of our interests, and she exceeded our expectations! We never would have discovered the places that she took us too. It was a personalized adventure that we will never forget.

Great tour with a great English speaking guide! - Wow! On a 3 month cruise this was in the top 3 of our tours. Ashley gives you mind blowing amounts of information. It’s a lot of walking but worth it. She takes you around on mass transit- so fun to ride the double decker trams. The lunch was yummy but expensive for lunch- if I changed anything, I would have requested to go to a more street food lunch. Otherwise, it really was a wonderful tour. Compared to our ship’s tour the following day - hands down book this tour!!

A great day in Hong Kong! - Ashley is a consummate professional who generously shared her love and vast knowledge of Hong Kong. She packed an incredible amount of history and information into our tour, skillfully weaving the events and culture of many centuries years into a fascinating tapestry. She was responsive to our questions and walking pace and tailored the day to our particular interests and timetable. After our day was over, she followed up with an email with details about all the places we visited as well as an additional email with ideas on things we could see and do for the rest of our stay. Ashley truly went the extra mile! We wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to anyone who is headed to Hong Kong.

The BEST tour and guide in Hong Kong - The guide Ashley made this tour absolutely amazing. She is knowledgeable and 100% accommodating
The tour was tailored to my request and MORE!
She is patient, friendly and professional
We made a purchase on one of the lovely shops that she introduced us to on our tour
It was to be delivered to our hotel prior to departure. The Four Seasons Hotel told us it hadn’t been delivered by courier we had to leave without it. I contacted Ashley, she took time and efforts to actually go to the hotel, track it down and have the hotel to ship it out to us. Now that is dedication over and beyond
We enjoyed every minute of the tour
There were many hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own
We spent several smooth no rush hours walking around

10 stars. Could not ask for any better guide! - Full day of many great sites. Especially nan Lian garden with chi Lin nunnery close by. Used the under ground system called MTR. Enjoyed the birds in the aviary thru Hong Kong park. Got a great hike down from Victoria Peak. Great lunch at yum cha. Of course saw the longest escalator as well as rode the star ferry. We got the added bonus of Chinese new year and saw where the parade was in the city! Ashley went above and beyond to make our tour fabulous! Would definitely recommend! Really knows her stuff?

An unforgettable day in Hong Kong! - Ashley was an outstanding guide for our day tour of Hong Kong! Her deep knowledge of the city's history and culture made every stop fascinating. She took us to both iconic landmarks and hidden gems, tailoring the experience to our interests. Her warm personality and enthusiasm were contagious, and she made navigating the bustling city feel effortless. From tasting local delicacies to learning about the unique architecture, every moment was unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking to explore Hong Kong!

The Best Guide in Hong Kong! - We just spent three days with Ashley. This was our first visit to Hong Kong and because of Ashley, it won’t be our last. She knows her city inside and out, she is a great listener and knew exactly what we wanted to see and experience. We loved listening to her tell us about Hong Kong. We not only saw the beautiful sights of Hong Kong but Ashley also showed us how to eat through her city! Don’t miss buying live fish in the market and bringing it to a food stand in the market to be cooked. We will remember that lunch for years to come!! If you are coming to Hong Kong, be sure to book Ashley to be your guide. We have traveled the world and Ashley is certainly one of the best we’ve had. Thank you Ashley❤️
