A useless trip...instead of showing you the things to see in Hong Kong, first 2-3 hours are spent on a "sampan" (boat)-ride around shanty-boat-town for which you have to pay extra money direct to the operator, and then touring of a jewelry factory during which you are incited to buy jewelry at above-market prices. The only thing worth taking this trip is the ride to Victoria Peak and then the return tram-ride. Everything else is just a waste of time and money.
Nice package. Really enjoyed Victoria Harbor Cruise and trip to Macau. Regretfully, was not able to take advantage of the dim sum class( 8 person minimum ) or feng shui session (limited scheduling). Also, pass would be significantly improved and more convenient if it were possible to register at one site and at one time for all attractions. These changes would make the package five stars.

Really want to give this more, great night and experience, but a few things letting it down...Dinner wasn't at Revolving 66..still is at Bubba Gumps at Victorias Peak... When I rung to confirm, the tour company had lost our booking (we had been in HK at end of March, left for China and then returned to HK at different Hotel..this seemed to confuse them)... While Bubba Gumps food was very nice and the view was good, the Rest is rather small...we had a small group, but still we were seated with 2 others we didn't know, so don't expect to have a close and intiment dinner with your partner! The harbour cruise is after the Laser Show!! We only stopped for 5mins at a lookout half way down Victorias peak to see light show... Harbour Cruise was good, however a lot of the commentary by guide was very repetitive and while the limited drinks on offer, were free, every time we went to bar, we were pressured in giving a tip...very off putting. We also stopped at Temple St Markets before Harbour Cruise, which was OK...Great night and experience, however description of tour needs to be updated...
This was a good way to see Hong Kong island in one go, especially as i had a flight to catch later that day. The best was saved til the last by going to Victoria Peak then coming down the tram. That was really fun! Thank you
The revolving resturant was not availble, so we ended up at Victoria Peak. The view was probably better there. The boat trip was awesome and the whole experience great.
Good and varied sites, enjoyed Stanley Market, although could have done with more than the 1 hour allocated. The Sanpan ride passing the Jumbo Restaurant was good. Victoria Peak was disappointing but this was due to the misty weather, couldn't see a thing!!!
We did not get the pick-up from our hotel and had to make our own way to the Excelsior Hotel but as there were only 5 of us on the evening excursion, we were not too bothered about this. We ate at Bubba Gump on Victoria Peak as the original location stated is still undergoing refurbishment. Food was fine, plenty of it and we did have a small choice of menu. Not a very refined restaurant, but service was quick and as said, food was ok. The stop for the laser show was disappointing as it was misty from the pollution that now plagues Hong Kong and the laser show just consists of buildings flashing lights. Temple Street market was busy and bustling, very authentic. We still had a huge sampan on the harbour even though there was just 5 of us and this part was great as it is a lot clearer seeing the buildings lit up from sea level. Overall very good value for money.
Nice short tour of the city. Got some great pics from Victoria Peak!
Good tour. The tour guide Danny was informative and friendly but his jokes were a little bit lame! The Sampan ride at Aberdeen was great and we got some time at Victoria Peak to explore and take photos before taking the tram ride down. Also got a decent amount of time to look around Stanley markets and Repulse Bay and take photos etc. The Jewelry factory was more of a sell then an educational process - actually would have preferred to spend more time learning about how jewelry is made than being sold to. But otherwise a good tour and a great way to see the key sights in a short period of time.
In our opinion overall tour was good. We didn't enjoy the stop over at jewelry store. We enjoyed the Victoria Peak.
This was a really good tour and good value for money, I would recommend this tour to anyone who has not been to Hong Kong before. The guide, James, pointed out lots of places of interest, and described the local culture. The stops on the tour were also of great interest, Stanley Market, Aberdeen Harbour and Victoria Peak.
In my opinion, an excellent value for money, tour.
This was a con!
Pay to go on a sampan, then visit a jewellery manufacturer to try to get us to buy something and then a rushed trip to Victoria Peak. This was not really a tour of Hong Kong at all. I would not recommend this tour to anybody. To top it all off we were rudely asked to give a tip to the driver and guide. Not a suggestion if we liked the tour but a request for money.
Very interesting and informative tour - very hazy day so views fro Victoria Peaak not as good as could be.
Would have been better if not for the rain that evening. The tour guide was informative and helpful. Dinner was excellent (not the revolving restaurant) at Victoria Peak.
Overall a good night out.
This tour was conducted on Easter Sunday when Hong Kong was very busy, there was an accident on the way up to Victoria Peak but the guide and his coach driver did their best to make sure that everything worked out and we got what we expected from the trip. A fantastic day out
