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.

A great tour but à little short.
Jacky is an exceptional guide! Our Kowloon by Night was a fabulous walking tour experiencing Hong Kong's vibrant night markets and foods for locals and not the tourist stalls. We tasted food along the way and had dinner in a restaurant full of locals. We were the only Westerners. Jacky explained the history, traditions and food that makes Hong Kong unique. We felt like we were in an episode of an Anthony Bourdain episode.
Would have been higher if he were not on his cell phone doing other business. Did have good walking to local hot spots with good street food sampling.
Jacky made our short stop in Hong Kong worth it. We landed with 4 small children and he tailored an awesome evening walking tour through the local and tourist markets hitting savoring and sweet snacks along the way. Great source of information with the right humor, Jacky was a pleasure to talk to. He was so accommodating with our last minute request and also highlighted a map for things we should try to see the next day. The entire group of 8 was so happy and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Jacky!
Jacky was great. 2 of us + him for a fun walk thru Kowloon. He showed us street food and stores we would never have found on our own, with expert stories on food, architecture, the markets, growing up in HK, history, etc. We took some backroads to a random parking lot for spectacular pictures across the bay. Jacky is funny, personable, and incredibly informative. The time went by in a flash. I can't imagine going to HK and missing this. Can't recommend highly enough, worth every cent. Thanks, Jacky!
Had lots of fun sampling the different types of food. Highly recommend.

My tours are walking tours, however, we do travel on public transport between some locations which 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 arrange it. Please inquire me for a quote and a customized tour.
