The cable car was not working on the day of trip, but it was still definitely worth it.

This was a great tour! Highly recommend it. There's some bus transfers and hotel pickups, which do take time upfront, but got to see parts of downtown HK that way. The only real issue was the short stop at the beach which was pretty pointless, nothing notable about it. The tour guide was kinda sassy too, which was initially entertaining but got a bit tiring. Wish we spent lots more time at the Buddha statue itself, although we had good free time after the lunch to roam around the grounds and the village shops. The cable car ride back down was amazing! Be ready for tons of photos! The fishing village was cool too!

The Lantau Island tour was great, even though the weather was not on our side. The tour guide was very clear and informative, and we packed in quite a lot. It was definitely worth the money. We luckily had the weather clear when we were at the Giant Buddha, and the mist made it even better. I recommend this to anyone who has not done the island as you get a taste of everything - fishing village, beach, Buddha, vegetarian banquet and more.

We received joining instructions upon arrival at our hotel and followed them. The rest of the tour group were 20 mins late joining us and the tour guide was even later. She introduced herself and the tour started. She was not very clear in her delivery of information, and some of it was quite muddled. After the delicious lunch at the monastery we met up with her for the Skyway trip and discovered that we had quite a long walk to the cable car and a long queue to get through. My husband doesn't walk far or fast, and we felt quite pressurised to get to the cable car by the stated time. We also discovered that there was an area for disabled people to cut through the queue, which would have been helpful for us if we'd known about it. Our guide left us at the cable car and said someone would meet us at the other end. The ride was wonderful and well worth doing, but the tour fell flat when our group were then bundled into separate coaches to get back to our respective starting points. Overall, we really enjoyed the trip but felt that the housekeeping could have been better organised. We would recommend it to visitors to Hong Kong but be aware that there's quite a lot of walking involved.

The trip overall was good, well worth doing. Maybe a little rushed. After doing a day trip with another company we realised they are all rushed due to 7 million people! The lunch was fantastic.

The trip was very interesting and we saw an unexpected side of life in the Fishing Village. Lunch at the monastery was great and the ride on the cable car was fantastic, and hair-raising. The coach was replaced extremely quickly when the air-conditioning stopped working - brilliant service.

Knowledgeable guide and some great sites. Worthwhile for anyone with more than a few days in Hong Kong.
