To be honest, I am newcomer to Hong Kong from Germany. This tour really fantastic because I could see other side of Hong Kong. I was so surprised that Hong Kong had a great nature and able to see pink dolphins. This is unmissable. Lantau Island need to travel by special bus, not the private coach, but everything is well organized and acceptable. Highly recommend

We booked this tour late the night before. Our guide for the day was Grace, she guided us to the meeting point and throughout the whole day with loads of enthusiasm. She is a fantastic, energetic and comprehensive guide. It was a real highlight!

the tour is extremely well organized and Grace is funny and well prepared! It's a must if you want to make the most of your time in HK.

Fabulous experience, we recommend the crystal cable car. Staff all very helpful.

Everything was super relaxed and I liked the Big Buddha the most
