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.

We booked our tour through Jacky, and was lucky to have Hans assigned to lead our tour. Hans gave us an amazing tour! It was very comprehensive and personal. We really enjoyed our time with Hans. We highly recommend him!
Our tour was outstanding. But to be clear, it wasn’t conducted by Jacky, who was not available. Rather it was by a colleague of his named Alan Au. We felt very lucky to have ended up with Alan because he was delightful. He is a native of Hong Kong but also spent several years living in the United States. As a result, he has perfect English and also understands the differences between living in the US and Hong Kong. He showed us the highlights, but also took us to off the beaten track areas, helped us manipulate the extensive subway system, and gave us a vivid description of life in Hong Kong today. We were relatively slow walkers so he scaled his pace to ours. Most importantly, we left feeling like we had a much better understanding of this unique place and time. We would highly recommend that you ask for Alan to be your guide in Hong Kong. You can’t do better.
Jacky was an absolutely fabulous guide. He was very easy to understand, articulate, and highly experienced...knowledgeable in all aspects of life in Hong Kong. He completely personalized our tour to include multiple cultural and culinary highlights, and I cannot endorse him strongly enough. During a 19-day cruise when we booked multiple private tours, his was our very best.
We had a great day with Jacky. My husband and I had not been to Hong Kong before. Jacky showed us so much in a short amount of time. He also explained the public transportation system and gave us some great tips for the rest of our stay.
Jacky has an interesting and engaging personality. He organized the tour to maximize the things we saw in the time available. We had a mix of active walking and riding, so we never got too tired. He has a lot of stories about Hong Kong history, and took us to places that most tourists never see, which is the reason I went with Tours by Locals.
We enjoyed our trip with Jackie. He English is first rate. We did enjoy seeing the different areas of Hong Kong, as Jackie explained the history and changes they've been through. Jackie was great to explain all we did see and got our luggage from the ship to the hotel and also got us photos. He was an enjoyable host for our family of 6 (with 2 teens) in Hong Kong.
Sightseeings and food. Departing from your hotel, will first head up to the Victoria Peak where I usually start my tours. Along the way, I will explain the local history of the city, how this city began as a fishing village, its developments since 1842 to get into this mega city in Asia, one of the most important hubs in the world. The history continues by walking you through the colonial historic centre, displaying how the British had built the city in the very beginning eras. I will also show you a local suburb of Wan Chai, showcasing how locals live, their lifestyle, their food including some food tastings of popular must-haves, culture, temples and religions. Not to miss out is the Aberdeen fishing village and we will definitely not missing out a ride on the iconic Star Ferry and a glimpse of the Kowloon area. A very comprehensive introduction of the city within half a day. Time slots between 8 am and 2 pm. Led by myself with over 380 happy private tour guests seeing Hong Kong. See you in Hong Kong!

My tours are walking tours, we do travel on public transport between some locations which it will be for sure more fun than sitting in a standard coach tour and it is all part of the authentic Hong Kong experience. If vehicles are required, I can drive at an extra cost. Please, inquire me for a quote and a customised tour.
