Day Trip to Macau from Hong Kong

I really enjoyed this trip to Macau. Patrick was a fantastic guide. He knew a lot about Macau - both the history and the current situation - and I found that really valuable info. He also had a really good sense of humour. I liked the way that he managed to keep everyone in the group on time. Quite a skill!! And he did it in a very positive way. We packed a lot into the day. I'd like to go back again....

Great tour guide!

Be aware that the beginning of this tour is an unescorted ride on a ferry from Hong Kong to Macau. We were picked up, dropped off at the ferry terminal, and handed tickets for the ferry. You then have to find your tour guide in the Macau terminal. The actual Macau tour was quite nice and the guide's English was excellent. The pacing is a bit fast, but you get to see quite a lot. If you ask, you can also push back your ferry ride home at the end and stick around a little longer.

I know this review may seem negative but think of it more as realistic. Our guide was funny but not particularly informative.His main interest was in making sure we returned from our various sight-seeing activities on time and all in one place. This is understandable from his perspective but the feeling was more OK,go over there and look at that stuff but make sure you're back here in twenty minutes. Our feeling was Well what are we looking at and why ?. Overall it was an enjoyable if somewhat rushed experience.

Our tour was perfect for one day of exploring Macau.
we enjoyed the old city, had a great lunch then on for a quick stop at the casino. Our tour guide was fun and very well informed.

Guide Patrick was a stand up comedian but also highly informative. Casino was over the top.

Patrice the tour guide in Macau was excellent - a man full of history and a passion to share his knowledge.

I would have preferred more input on the history of the places we visited. It would have asssisted to be accompanied into the various sites eg temple the ancient Portuguese area with more detailed explanation.rather than left to our own resources. More time at these places to explore the Portuguese influence including time for coffee and particular cakes say 40 mins. Far less time at the end in the Casino area - see one see them all. The uniqueness of Macau is its history not its shopping - that can be done in numerous places by individuals.

The ferry ride to Macau and highlights of the city were wonderful, it is a great way to spend a day, and see some different things.

Overall, a very good tour. You'll see the highlights of Macau, a day tour was enough for me, but you'll only have time for the highlights and not be able to do much else, this was expected as it was a group tour. Yes I would recommend this tour, but if you like gambling or like to wander on your own, perhaps spend a night in Macau while you are there.
