Insightful tour about Hong Kong! - Alexandra is a very knowledgeable and nice guide. She has shared a lot of insightful stories about Hong Kong throughout the visit. We could visit different areas in 3h (Statue Square, HSBC tower, Standard Charter Tower, Tram, Sheung Wan, Man Mo temple, etc), which was a perfect duration for us to see and learn enough before our next activity. We highly recommend Hong Kong A La Carte for your next trip!

Brilliant introduction to Hong Kong - We had a lovely time with Alexandra on our first day in Hong Kong, travelling as a family of 3, with our 15-year-old daughter. This was a fantastic introduction to the City. Alexandra told us all about the history of Hong Kong and gave us lots of information on its architecture too. Alexandra is very well-informed, has huge insight, she is a smiley and considerate guide. We recommend her highly.

Thank you Alexandra - Thank you for this great discovery, to share. Thank you for your presentations, your listening, your adaptability. Mom (87 years old) was able to fully enjoy this excursion through time and the neighborhood.

Fantastic guided tours of Hong Kong - We had the chance to visit as a family: Macau (one day) with Michel, Hong Kong (3 hours tour) with Alexandra and a fantastic hike (one day) with Stéphanie in the new territories. Thanks to our three “Hong Kong à la carte” guides, we had a fantastic vacation, full of anecdotes not found in paper guides. We were really amazed by the quality of the visits, the enormous flexibility and the ability to adapt well to our group. We highly recommend the Hong Kong à la carte team!

A family trip to Kowloon, Hong Kong - After meeting at the clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui, Stephanie, our guide, explained the history of Hong Kong to us, from the Opium Wars to the current geopolitical context. We then visited the district: the clock tower, a vestige of the old railway station, the Cultural Center (the HK Opera House) which replaced the station, the headquarters of the old maritime police, Heritage 1881 and the Peninsula Hotel. We then took the metro to visit the Wong Tai Sin temple, including its origin and popularity over the years. We talked about legends, Chinese astrological signs and local superstitions. We then saw several halls and the different symbols linked to Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Feng Shui (the 5 elements) before visiting the pretty garden. We took the MTR back to Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden in Diamond Hill. We discussed the principles of classic Chinese gardens (rocks, trees, water, pavilions) and Feng Shui (water, wind, Qi and the 5 elements). And that’s where we ended our beautiful walk.

Great themed visit - Stephanie took my father visiting HK and me, a resident for 12 years, on a World War II themed tour and we had a great time! The explanations were very interesting and the remains that Stephanie showed us were incredible. I will definitely call on Stéphanie to try the other guided tours offered by Hong Kong à la Carte!

Fun and informative! - The organiser (Alex and Stephanie) planned the hunt thoughtfully. And what’s more fun of doing it with friends (as birthday gift) ??!! We learned so much new about HK even after living in the city for 10+ years! Amazing bonding time. Alex and Stephanie also generously treated us for a glass of bubble for the birthday boy 🍾🥂

Fabulous tour with knowledge and excellent pace - I did the 3-hour tour of Sheung Wan that included interesting bites of history and guided tour of the area including Traditional Chinese Medicine shops. I learned, walked and sweated a lot yet enjoyed every moment. Fabulous tour and Alex was super knowledgeable and kept us to time. All of us live in HK yet we all learned something. Highly recommend.

From Tsim Sha Tsui to Yau Ma Tei to Jordan - An excellent tour with Alexandra, from TST to Yau Ma Tei and Jordan ! Even after living in HK for close to 30 years, it's always a great pleasure to learn more from Hong Kong's past history and the Hong Kong of today. Alexandra is very knowledgeable in so many stories of HK, shops and their shop keeper that still exists keeping some kind of legacy to the old Hong Kong. Excellent tour that I would recommend to everyone who is interested to dig deeper in understanding Hong Kong, its people, its past and present. I learn so much ! And best, it was fun too ! I can't wait to explore some more with HK a la carte ! Highly recommended ! Not only for the tourists !!!!! Thank you Alexandra.

A very rich, interesting and fun tour with a lovely & professional guide! - Even though we know Hong Kong quite well, we discovered SO MANY things with Alexandra! We loved the historical lesson she gave us at the start of the tour, and then also enjoyed a lot being able to visit and talk to local vendors and learn about their life stories!
