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

Overview of your Hong Kong tour

During this action-packed 4 hours, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Victoria Harbor and also immerse yourself in the local neighborhoods to experience how locals live. Strolling in Central District, the “Wall Street” of Hong Kong, you can listen to my stories of how Hong Kong transformed from a tiny fishing village 184 years ago to a major global financial and transportation hub today. You can also taste local snacks and drinks created by Hong Kong people by blending the cooking skills and mixing the ingredients with the East and the West. I am sure you will take home some good memories and lots of cool pictures.

Alan is not to be missed! You get a true personal tour from a native of Hong Kong who has lived through many stages of this fascinating city. If you are like me, I hardly ever take tours because I like to do my own research and be independent. Because I was only passing through for one day and was on a tight business schedule, i booked Alan. Best move! From the outset Alan was very communicative and enthusiastic. And he was flexible when i had to make a flight change. If you want to hear the real inside stories of HK and see more than the tourist highlights - which he will also show you - book with Alan. And enjoy Hong Kong! I will definitely be back.

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 pressured to move along. Alan was always mindful of our personal comfort. My experience in Hong Kong with Alan exceeded even my high expectations.

Alan gave our group of 4 an awesome tour of Hong Kong. He handled all the transportation logistics (cab, double decker tram, MRT, etc) and had a fantastic itinerary. Alan knew all the shortcuts and made the most of our limited time. I like planning trips, but hiring a guide was definitely the right choice for HK. We also liked Alan’s personal stories about living in HK and his perspectives on HK politics. Would definitely recommend!

I will take you to most of these scenic places. Sometimes because of some uncontrollable factors like bad weather conditions or extreme traffic conditions, we have to omit a specific scenic point.
