Did you always wish you had a local friend to take you around when you travel? Is communication a problem for you when you tour in Asia? Have always fascinated about the rich cultures of Hong Kong and Macau? Want to swift around like a local? I've been a tourist to other countries as well, so I understand the needs of being in another place unfamiliar to me. I want to be safe and I don't want to have to worry. Therefore, it's very important to me that my tour provides you with a no worries, safe and secure environment. I have lived in both cities of Hong Kong and Macau. My friends call me a street sider as I always love to explore and the small details of inner city living. I think this has been a habit of mine and has had something to do with growing up in the city of Melbourne, where little lanes corners will find yourself in a different world. I grew up in Australia through my teenage and early twenties life and now settles myself in here in Hong Kong. I have had 10 years of hospitality experience, where I learnt a lot about how tourists are and their needs. I am young, knowledgeable, local and most importantly I understand the differences between western and local cultures. As a guide, I advocate Reliability, Responsibility and Resourcefulness. Yet, I'm also a believer in tailored service. I believe all tours shall be different as everybody's needs and wants are different. It will be fun showing you the excitements of Hong Kong and Macau at the same time learn a little about your country and its culture too. This life is a learning experience. It goes by the saying, learns a little, gives a little. So I'm learning each day to be a better guide so that I can give you a memorable experience being on tour with me. I'm very flexible so you can truly enjoy your visit/vacation/holiday/getaway or however you would want to name it. I'm easy to talk to and friendly too. With me, you can enjoy, relax and chit chat, because apart from being your tour guide, I'm also your friend! I am a food enthusiast! If you are looking for a culinary experience, just count on me. Tell me what your likes and dislikes are of food, I'll bring you to the food that suits your needs. There's just too much good food to choose from that I myself can't get enough of! Hong Kong, Asia's world city has it all and I'll gladly show you. I have had friend's visits from overseas and I had previously organized private, authentic and original tours to great places. My goal is to take you off the beaten track to locations where you would never come on your own. To show and practice the local traditions and explore the streets of Hong Kong. For city tours, I always recommend using public transport. This is a fun experience and gives the best feel and maneuverability of the city. For trips out of the city, I will arrange a VIP van, it comes with upgraded interior and comfortable leather seats. If you have special wishes please let me know. Making tailor-made tours to match with your personal interests is what I do best. I can also assist you in planning your trip, suggesting places of interests other than our usual tour path, help you orientate, directing you on how to go to places. The best scenario is to take up one of my tours upon your arrival, get a feel of the local area and with our planning, you will have confidence going around on your own with a breeze seeing all that you want to see.

Jacky is top class, tailored everything to suit our group, excellent grasp of the city and its history and plenty of interesting anecdotes and stories. he also brought us to his favourite local Dim Sum restaurant whci we thoroughly enjoyed. He took lots of photos and sent them to us afterwards, which is a really nice touch. I would highly recommend.

Jackie was a terrific ambassador to his city as he deftly guided our family through a detailed and delightful day of exploration of Hong Kong. He was timely, cordially, explanatory, flexibly, gracious and entertaining. At all times we felt as if we were in the hands of an expert who provided us with a nice mix of historical, economic, topical and cultural commentary. We came away with a greater understanding of the "greater bay area" and Hong Kong in particular. I highly recommend Jacky!

Had Jacky for another day off our cruise ship. The weather cleared a bit and we were able to visit Victoria Peak. We then visited additional places we missed the day before. All together, we got a tremendous flavor of Hong Kong. Jacky personalized our tours based on what we thought we wanted to see. Of course, he had recommendations about what to see and we took his advice and had a outstanding time. Thanks Jacky!

Tickets
What's not included
Other: Personal expenses. Food and drinks, entrance tickets, rides etc. If you are in Hong Kong for 3 days or more, I would recommend you to get a local "Octopus" card which is a top-up card with cash credit inside to pay for most transports, vending machines, convenient stores, Starbucks, and many more chain stores. It cost HK$150 and it has got HK$100 credit and $50 as a deposit which you can get back once you return the card. This card will save you a lot of time and hassle with carrying a lot of coins. We can get one together if you are not sure.
