Booking a private guide who is not only knowledgeable about Hong Kong's landmarks and culture, but can also seamlessly translate and interpret between English and Cantonese. This will ensure you can fully immerse yourself in the experience and communicate effectively with your guide and any local interactions. NO ROAD IS LONG WITH GOOD COMPANY. TRAVELLING BRINGS ABOUT FAR GREATER BENEFIT THAN MORE BOOK LEARNING. Hello I am Mr. Raffles, it is my great pleasure and honour to be your local expert. I always believe apart from must-go spots, visiting some non-touristy areas will enrich the journey of visitors, especially when you discover the other side of Hong Kong, you will find that here is a unique city in different aspects. Hong Kong .... The always ongoing sounds of trams, construction works and the unique smells on the streets; beach in Sai Kung; the amazing people; the food; the safety and the ease of getting around; and the regular concerts by the HK Philharmonic. Although the city has changed quite a bit in recent years, Hong Kongese relentless drive and unstoppable “can-do” spirit to make things happen: the Hong Kong spirit, also known as the Lion Rock spirit. The geological history of Hong Kong has been strongly controlled by changes in the plate tectonic setting over the past 400 million years and has been active for the living of people for at least few hundred years! Luckily, the evidence of the above history still exists in today's Hong Kong, and it does take you a few days to stay here! I can show you one by one if you have an interest in them. But before knowing comprehensively about Hong Kong, how could it be done without our basic need - food? In Hong Kong, you don't have to go to chain stores anymore as you may do in your hometown. If you want, I can show you the real and authentic delicious food here! I am a free-spirit person. Three things I can never give up: love, justice and dignity. I never stop chasing awesomeness. Creativity is in my blood as I always see possibilities, both good and bad ones. I value connections among people, vulnerability and honesty. In my leisure time I love swimming and travelling (e. g. Singapore, Penang, Phuket and Taipei) My other professional achievements and activities - Member of Communitybusiness.org - Member of Lionclubs.org - Member of BNI.hk - Editor of Hong Kong Magazine (2010 - 2015) - Speaker of Rotarty Hong Kong - CPR and AED trained by Red Cross Hong Kong

Tourism has become very popular. Hong Kong is a very special place in the minds of many tourists because it leads to mainland China through a flyover. It is a very mysterious place. In 1997, Hong Kong became famous, and it was like one country two systems. Many tourists like to stay in Hong Kong for two or three days before going to mainland China. Many of my guests ask me whether I am Chinese or Hong Konger. I have answered this question many times. . . I would answer, there has been a change. A long time ago, I always insisted that I was a Hong Konger, before the handover. This is a change. Slowly after 1997, I began to think that I am a Hong Konger; I am also a Chinese, and the friends around me gradually changed. Of course, I feel heartbroken when I see Hong Kong today, but how can we solve the process of it? ? It cannot be dealt with in a short time. I hope everyone can communicate calmly. It is very important.
Raffles was great to work with. I had to change several places we were to visit at the last minute and he was so accommodating by redoing our itinerary and adding suggestions to round out our tour, all at the last minute. We also had pretty specific car needs, and he found a car and driver that worked perfectly. We really enjoyed our tour, but his above and beyond help was truly 5 stars.
Raffles took us on a whirlwind tour of the Hong Kong sites during a long layover at the airport. He provided a comfortable car with a great driver which was really nice. We learned about the city’s history, visited a beautiful temple, made it to the top of Victoria Peak for sunset and had some great local food! He put in a lot of effort to customize our tour for what we needed.
We enjoyed our tour of Hong Kong very much.
Raffles was a very accommodating and knowledgable tour guide. We asked him to change the itinerary to one which focussed on foodie destinations, including a Michelin star dim sum restaurant. He did this for us, and we were very pleased with the result. He was diligent in keeping in touch with us prior to the tour so that we were clear on our meeting place and our itinerary. He was friendly and prompt on his responses to our queries. We highly recommend him as a tour guide for Hong Kong.
- Enjoy dim sum in a famous teahouse - Visit and stay at Man Mo Temple to see the big incense, pray for blessings and asking for a signature - Visit and stay at the open-air market for trinkets, nostalgic goodies and antiques - Enjoy a cane juice and famous egg tart - To taste famous prawn wonton soup - Visit and stay at the Peak and enjoy the scenery at the top of the mountain This is a suggested itinerary, let me know what you would like to see and do and I will customize the tour accordingly! -Feel free to contact me if you would like to customize this tour!
