Hello! My name is Aubrey - a licensed tour guide and a certified UNESCO Cultural Heritage Specialist Guide (Macau), specialized in providing private tours in Macau. Born and brought up in Hong Kong, I went to University of Macau for my tertiary education. Apart from obtaining a bachelor degree, I met my wife here as well. Shortly after we are married, we moved to Canada. And in order to take care of our aging parents, we moved back. I worked in Hong Kong, Canada, China and Macau with people from different cultures. The exposure helps me to communicate and get along well with people. Currently, I am also helping out as a local (Macau) research assistant for the Egalitarianism Project hosted by the University of Bergen under Professor Bruce Kapferer. To be a licensed tour guide, I was trained for 180 hours and passed four written exams and a practical exam. Separate language ability exams were taken too. Hoping to provide the best service to visitors, I took a special course of "Cultural Heritage Interpretation for World Heritage Sites". Recently, I finished the research paper and passed the practical exam to become certified Cultural Heritage Specialist Guide for UNESCO World Heritage Site (Macau). I am more than happy to share with you everything I know about the city and make your trip a memorable one. Can't wait to come and explore Macau with me?

The settlement of Macau by Portuguese navigators in the mid-16th century laid the basis for nearly five centuries of uninterrupted contact between East and west. Macau, as the west's first established gateway into China, was remarkable in setting off a succession of connections and contacts that progressively enriched both civilizations across a huge range of human endeavour, both tangible and intangible, at a critical point in history. I will explore the city with you and explain the story behind different attractions. We will get around the city in a properly insured and registered 7-seater to make the best use of your time. **The tour is designed for 4 people for the best comfort of each guest. If you are travelling in a larger group, send me a message and I will be come up with a quote.
With an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Macau, Aubrey was able to answer my questions, but more importantly provide historical context. He took the time to understand my interests and motivations for the tour and then personalized it to these. I had a great time!
Fantastic experience with Aubrey. His knowledge on Macaus history was the true power behind this tour. We learned a lot about how Macau came to be all the way to the rise of the gaming center it has become. His humor and side notes were a great addition as well. All around great experience with Aubrey.
This was a fantastic tour. Aubrey was very knowledgeable about the history of Macau and made our tour amazing. If you go to Macau hire Aubrey for your tour. He was very flexible about the points of interest.
We had an amazing day with Aubrey in Macau. Aubrey is a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge of Macau and we saw and learned so much. My husband being in a wheelchair it was difficult for us to access some areas, but Aubrey went above and beyond to make sure we saw all that we could and we now have some wonderful memories of our day in Macau. Would absolutely recommend Aubrey as a guide.
My daughters and I are very happy that we selected Aubrey as our tour guide in Macau. It was our first time there and Aubrey was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He knows Macau like the back of his hand as well as the history of Macau, which we found very fascinating. We highly recommend Aubrey, especially for first-time visitors to Macau.
Aubrey is a 5 star rated tour guide because he is very dedicated to his visitors. He goes above and beyond to help, support and ensure that visitors coming to Macau have an unforgettable time.
