4 types of Hong Kong private tours, which you need to think twice before booking

Think twice before you book the 4 types of private tour product

There are a lot of different types of private tour product in Hong Kong.

You may thick twice before you book the 4 types of private tour product.

(1)PRIVATE FOOD TOUR/FOODIE TOUR

You can find good food very easily by yourselves in the culinary capital (please refer to the openrice.com).  

The food tour is not good because it is not good to eat too much in a short period of time (about 2-3 hours) especially when you are traveling.  

The experience of travelers diarrhea due to non-acclimatization is bad!

(2)PRIVATE MARKET SHOPPING TOUR

You can reach Hong Kong's markets easily as they are in the city center (please refer to: Discover Hong Kong: Street Markets and Shopping Streets).  

You NEED to bargain in the markets by mobile phone calculator app.  

It is easy.  

You need to pay the hourly rate to the private guide to go shopping with you.

This means the cost of shopping becomes a lot higher.  

Just save more for more souvenirs is better!

(3)Bus metro walking (BMW) tour

BMW tour means tour relies on bus, metro and walking for transportation. It has actually no private transport. 

Using PUBLIC transport as the main transportation method contradicts the definition of a PRIVATE tour.  

Public transport cannot offer you point to point transfer.  

You need to walk to the sightseeing points after alighting the train with your private guide.  

Lots of uncertainties impact your tour.  

You can find no bus or taxi and the weather may not cooperate.  

How much time is left for your PRIVATE tour?

(4)PRIVATE TOUR BY PRIVATE 'DRIVER-GUIDE'

Driver-guide is a bad idea in the bustling Hong Kong.  

Talking to the driver when the car is in motion is illegal.  

So driver-guides cannot introduce Hong Kong properly to you when they are driving.  

Driver-guides need to spend your valuable tour time to find the insufficient parking space.  

How much time is left for the driver-guides to make the tour commentary?

As a smart travelers and customers, you deserve something better.  

Book the easy private tour with a set but flexible program, which includes private car with driver and private guide is your best choice. This can save your valuable sightseeing time and keep your privacy.

For your private tour planning, please contact Frank the tour guide.

You may also choose your private car tour program.

How can travelers go to the Victoria Peak if they don't take the Peak Tram?

Other ways to go up the Victoria Peak

There are FOUR other ways to go up the Peak (not including Peak tram and taxi)!

Bus route No 15

No 15 departs at Central.  It goes to the Peak via Wan Chai.  So it takes time to go to the destination.  

If you sit at the front row of the upper deck of the bus, you can see how the skillful driver surmounts the steep and narrow roads of the Victoria Peak.

Green mini bus No 1

No 1 green mini bus also departs at Central.  As the mini-bus is faster than the big bus and it uses the short-cut, Magazine Gap Road, it is more efficient than the bus.  

However, as it can only accommodate 16 passengers, the mini buses are often full.

'Bus route No 11', ON FOOT

In the past, people in Hong Kong called 'walking' as 'taking bus route No 11'!  

There is a footpath next to the Garden Road Cable Car Terminal.  People can take 'bus route No 11' to go to the Peak from there.  

During the walk, you can see the skyscrapers and flora and fauna.  It takes only about two hours to walk to the Peak Tower! 

If you don't have enough preparation and energy, please don't choose this option.
