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 was a great guide. He has tremendous knowledge of Kowloon and Hong Kong as well as a passion for life here and his job. He made great suggestions on what sites to visit. Having the private transportation was great and gave us much more freedom to do as we wished when we wanted too. Make sure you request a Dim Sum lunch.

Jacky found us after we left our cruise ship. He was very professional and informative about his home town: Hong Kong. We asked about and saw many tourist sites but we also sought sites off the beaten track where the local folks shopped and lived. That was very eye opening. We did have some inclement weather but we had an awesome time as Jacky had us walking and driving around Hong Kong. He has a very quick wit and sense of humor. We enjoyed our time with him immensely.

Really friendly, and took lots of pictures for us. Took us to cool local places, and a great restaurant. Felt like a local! Jacky was on time, and he was great!

Jacky is very fluent in English since he used to live in Melbourne. He gave our group a better understanding of the "real Hong Kong". Unfortunately, it was New Years and we did not get the full buzz of the city. Thank you

The four of us just spent 2 days touring Hong Kong with Jacky W. We had a fabulous experience. Instead of sitting on a tour bus, we traveled via public transportation, allowing us to visit authentic street markets, tour notable sights and eat delicious food. Jacky' s English is perfect. He is knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. Our 2 days in Hong Kong was one of the highlights of our trip.

Our party of 4 just spent 2 days in Hong Kong with Jacky. We had a fabulous time. Instead of sitting on a tour bus, we traveled via public transportation allowing us to view authentic street markets and notable sights, and taste great food. Jacky speaks perfect English. He is knowledgable and has a great sense of humor. He met us at our cruise ship and delivered us back at the designated times.. Our 2-day tour with Jacky was one of the highlights of our 3-week cruise.

Private Transportation
What's not included
Other: Personal expenses. Price for up to 6 persons. Tour fee does not cover: Cost of any transportation, meals, drinks, snacks, entrance fees, rides. 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 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. Depending on your preferences, your personal expense of $500 Hong Kong dollars per day may vary. Note: if you are planning to come over between May and October, I would recommend you to wear something breezy and comfortable as it will be hot and humid.
