Highly recommend this tour, although we had overcast cloudy skies and some rain, we were still able to see visit the Aberdeen floating community and do the sampan ride which was so much fun. The views from Repulse bay to Victoria Peak are breathtaking._br/_ The tour guide was a delight as well.

Excellent half-day tour of Aberdeen fishing area, Stanley Market, and Victoria Peak. Little, if any, mention of other sites on Hong Kong Island so you're on your own for viewing them. A good way to cover out-of-downtown areas.

Didn't like the fact that they try to sell you on several things.

The tour was great and the tour guide we'll informed. Just wish their would have been more pickup locations.

Disappointing. Nothing to do while others took the Sanpan tour. Pointless ride to peak in zero visibility. Guide gave few if any interesting facts. Weather didnt, help but alternatives could perhaps have been substituted.

I am so glad to join this tour, especially when I am so short on time in Hong Kong. It's a worthwhile tour as I get to see most of Hong Kong's main tourist sites. Enjoyed Stanley immensely, only wished we had longer time there...instead of the jewellery tour. But oh well. Danny the tour guide was informative, and Simon was nice to take photos of us during the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you are in HK for a quick trip.

A well worthwhile orientation to Hong Kong island which incorporates all the major sites of interest. The trip was well organised and whilst I was not that interested in the visit to the jewellery factory others in the group found it interesting and it was relatively little time out of the day. The trip was well organised with a good guide Steve who was entertaining, informative and funny in his delivery. It was also well structured, and although we had to pay extra for the Chinese junk ride 70HKdollars, it was well worth it as it showed the diversity between fishing vessels, junks, houseboats and the mega yachts located in Aberdeen bay. It was also interesting to see the other side of the island with Repulse Bay and Stanley with it market, before concluding the trip with the visit to Victoria Point for the fantastic view over Hong Kong and Kowloon and the Peak Tram ride back into the city. A varied, interesting and good ntriduction to Hong Kong.

Very good overall, but we didnt get enough time at Stanley Market or The peak to allow time to eat. Otherwise, was very good and tour guild was very informative and friendly.

There is a lot to see in this half-day tour. Bring snacks and drinks with you as lunch is not served. Our tour guide gave us time to explore and walk around each area. There was a typhoon the day before our tour so that visibility at Victoria's peak was 0. The Peak was still enjoyable and the shops and restaurants were indoors and great for walking around. The tram ride down the Peak was great too. This is whole tour was wonderful and I would highly recommend.

Really interesting tour covering many different aspects of HK island._br/_ Good guide and good value for money. It took a long time to get the tour underway as morning traffic was a problem. However, I would recommend this tour.

We saw the main sights on Hong Kong Island. Biddy our guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English. We went for a sampan ride which was an extra cost, which took us out in the harbour amongst the fishing boats, other sampans and luxury yachts. We spent time at Dynasty Jewellers TCL Group. I found this was a rushed presentation just to get you through into their showroom and then it was a 'hard sell'. I found this was particularly off putting and intrusive. Simon who was accompanying Biddy was the 'photographer' and presented to each of us a 'package' of our one photo printed on a porcelain plate, selling at 250E! The tour was an easy way to 'see' Hong Kong in an overview. We had a 9 hour lay over at the airport, so this suited us perfectly.

The trip was not what we expected. We spent the best part of an hour in a jewellery store supposedly to understand how the gems are cut etc. As it was a bank holiday there was only one person in the workshop who did a demo for a couple of minutes and then waved us away. The rest of the time was spent looked at jewellery and being harassed by staff members wanting to sell.

An enjoyable and informative tour. Our guide Biddy, was approachable and very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour thrown in. I would recommend this tour to others.

Another very good, well planned day although due to an impending storm, we only had a quick view of the two bridges. The monastery and Buddha were impressive and the sky ride was spectacular. A nice package of varied and interesting sites.

It was just ok

Great tour and experience. The sampan boat tour, even at extra cost, a true eye opener of the way some people lived on these waters.
