My Review
I did enjoy this tour even tho'at the last minute I nearly pulled out because the weather was so bad. It's a shame we could not have been picked up from the Cosmopolitan as the bus drove passed there to get to the restaurant so that was a bit off putting The restaurant was really nice and far nicer than I expected as some of the reviews weren't real great. There was heaps of food and plenty of choice . I wish i could have tried everything but everything I had was very nice. The sweats were especially great so make sure you leave room for those. Drinks were not at all expensive as I was led to believe and service very good. Guide tended to repeat himself a fair bit but was full of knowledge about Hong Kong.The laser lights didn't impress me but maybe thats because it was so overcast The city is magnificent by twilight,just like a fairy story. The markets were good but it was a bit tiring going back and forth to Kowloon and Hong Kong Is. The ferry ride was very good and unlike previuos comments there was plenty on offer at the bar if we so wished. It's a shame there weren't more people on the ferry as I felt it was a long ride for so few people. Hong Kong is a beautiful City and this tour showed it off very well indeed.Many Thanks for making a great holiday memorable

My Review
Everything about our day tour was excellent. The guide was brilliant- Queen D. I didn't ask how to spell her name. She was fantastic with all her knowledge. Even though the day was overcast and at times very wet we were so lucky to see everything at it's very best. Just loved the fishing village. Monastry food to die for.The shops where we got on at the cable car were lovely and the cable car so great. Not one complaint from this day and I would recommend it above all other tours I did. The Buddha is just magnificent, inside and out. I feel priveleged to have had this experiance. Thankyou.

Macau Day Trip from Hong Kong

Hong Kong, Hong Kong

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review
Not impressed with this tour but think it was just me. Nothing really grabbed me so to be honest. We skipped the rest of the tour after lunch and did our own thing. Lunch was pretty ordinary. All the food was only luke warm in the Bay Maree's. Sweats were good though. Macau really hasn't got much going for it except the casinos. Sorry folks but whilst they're over-run with Casinos that is what I expected. The rest of the city is pretty ugly and ordinary. I wasn't impressed having to pay to go up the elevator even though the view was great. Thought that should've been mentioned before the trip. Inmy view, there are better things to see in Hong Kong.
