Seeing the walled village was fantastic, especially knowing that this is the only tour that you can do it!

Highly recommended tour. The guide was extremely good at explaining all the different sites, and the tour was completed at a good pace, allowing time at each place to take photos and explore on your own.

Very out of the ordinary. Our guide gave us the tea ceremony in his home in a conservation area walled village. It was a very personal tour and the organiser is to be congratulated.

A worthwhile trip from Hong Kong. The Buddhist monastery is especially interesting.

The tour was fine. I would do it again. However, when I didn't feel well I asked the tour guide if I could sit in the van instead of participating in the tea sampling. Little did I know that his refusal was to subject me and the other tour members into an ambush in which his employer tried to sell more tours to the group. In fact, the tour guide blamed my illness on heat exhaustion. I'm from Florida. I'm used to the heat. Turned out I had a fever and slept the next 15 hours away.

Our guide was very enthusiastic. We certainly got to experience culture that we would not have if we followed the same path ourselves.

I had been to Hong Kong once before to go to the Rugby 7's which I really enjoyed but my trip was limited to rugby and shopping in the city. On my recent trip I was determined to broaden my experience and the Cultural Heritage Tour provided the opportunity to do that. My time was limited so a 4 hour tour was appealing. I enjoyed visiting the monastery and the various temples and learning about the spiritual and cultural history of local residents through a personal and meaningful account by the tour guide.

Interesting, very informative about heritage but a bit boring at times. Didn't get to see the wish tree and only stopped briefly on side of road to view the scene from Hat Mountain, which was very hazy. Overall, a pleasant day.

The monastery was fantastic. We learned alot about the history of Hong Kong from this tour.

The tour was informative, but I would have appreciated seeing more different locations. It would be good if a visit to the Heritage Museum was included rather than the lengthy stay at the last stop, the Tang Ancestry village.

A waste of time sadly. Buddhist monastery was pretty modern and hence did not have any history to it. Big Hat mountain was merely a look out point somewhere near the summit and you couldn't see much anyway. Closed with a trip to a walled village where owner of one of the houses tried to sell more trips from his company. The Jasmine tea he served was nice though.
