Yes, I can pick up guests from the airport, cruise terminal or your hotel at your convenience. I can also drop you off at any of these points at the end of the tour.

All my tours are customised and private only; only the people on your booking will be on the tour.

Yes, airport and cruise terminal pick-up and drop-off can be arranged as part of a car tour package; please specify your flight details and terminal at the time of booking.

Yes, having some Hong Kong dollar cash on hand is recommended for minor purchases, snacks, or local street markets, as many small vendors and market stalls in Hong Kong operate on a cash-only basis.

Booking as early as possible is recommended, particularly for weekends, public holidays, and the October-to-March high season, when availability fills up quickly. Please check my online calendar for availability, then send me an enquiry through the contact form.

Hong Kong is pretty hilly; roads are not typically flat, but it is very manageable for those with a basic level of fitness. We will maintain a relaxed pace according to the day’s weather and take the ups and downs easily. Note that most routes also require ascending and descending a few flights of steps. If this might be difficult for you, please let me know in the booking enquiry.

All tours are conducted in English, but I also speak Tamil.

Shopping is not included in any part of the tour unless you specifically request it.

Absolutely – there are plenty of food options for everyone to enjoy. Vegetarians, vegans and pescatarians are all well catered for.

• At least one litre of water per person
