Hi, I’m Alan – your no-BS, licensed Hong Kong guide who turns a visit into stories you'll tell for years. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I've lived and worked in California, mainland China, and Korea, clocking over 1.6 million miles across the globe. After 40 years dominating international shipping, I retired and channeled that same drive into guiding—passing the rigorous licensing exams to become a fully certified professional. I've now led over 140 private tours (and counting), mostly for sharp American travelers and cruise ship guests who demand real value: authentic encounters, zero tourist traps, and the kind of insider access that makes their trip unforgettable. Having sailed on 15 cruises myself, I get exactly what shore excursion clients crave—seamless logistics, total flexibility, comfort without compromise, and genuine local immersion that feels personal, not packaged. I'm a master storyteller with a sharp wit and zero patience for boring scripts. Expect candid insights into Hong Kong's layered history, chaotic energy, lesser-known cultural layers and vibrant local scenes, and unbeatable street eats—delivered with humor and zero fluff. Whether it's decoding the city's colonial past, navigating vibrant markets like a pro, or uncovering lesser-trodden corners most visitors miss, I make sure you leave with memories that actually stick. Special requests? No problem—I've got you covered in advance. Want a private Tai Chi session in a quiet park or something completely tailored to your interests? Just say the word, and I'll arrange it seamlessly. Friendly, funny, fiercely passionate about Hong Kong, and always ready to go the extra mile. Let's skip the ordinary and make your time here legendary. Contact me to customize your perfect tour—because average isn't in my vocabulary. Tourist Guide: TG13125

    Alan and his associate were up with a challenging date: HK Marathon and a Sunday. Between them, they were flexible in taking us to the must-do sites, and getting us to the ship on time! We saw the sights at their best, when not overrun by other visitors, both local and non-local. Competent, informative and answered all our questions, in addition to including a little...

    Despite the rain & fog, we had an outstanding day with Alan. We chose not to do the Peak because of the weather, but we checked off everything on our list. We used every means of transport & still managed to walk a lot which we enjoyed. Alan shared information as we walked & sometimes we stopped as we chatted but never did he make us feel rushed or...
