Private Tour Lantau Island-Big Buddha and Tai O Village - Private Tour Lantau Island-Big Buddha and Tai O Village Booking Number: 1197046711 Confirmation Number: 1581852639 This tour was outstanding and exceeded all expectations. Stephanie was a polite, patience and highly knowledgeable tour guide. She made the experience educational and highly enjoyable in learning Hong Kong’s historical scenery. Stephanie explained everything from the simple MTR subway through the subway stations to the magnificent ride and view from the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. Stephanie expertly maneuvered through Ngnong Ping Village, Divine Generals Alley, Po Lin Buddhist Monastery, Ten Thousand Buddha Grand Hall and Tai O Fishing Village and provided great insight and valued historical data for each of these great Hong Kong landmarks. We also shared an amazing lunch at an local village restaurant. Stephanie provided a recap and detailed synopsis of my exact tour as occurred which proved invaluable to my own detailed journal for my Hong Kong visit. Bravo Zulu Stephanie, thank you! I will take this tour again when I visit Hong Kong and highly recommend this tour to family, friends or anyone visiting Hong Kong.

Good tour - Jupiter was a great guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable, easy to talk to and was always willing to help out even after the tour was done. Our day went well and it was nice getting to know each other. If you get assigned to her, you'll be in good hands. Keep in mind this location has a lot of stairs and incline so wear comfy shoes and expect to sweat. We got lucky with a very clear view of the Giant Buddha but some days may be too foggy to see it even from the top. Also, don't be afraid to try the food stalls at Tai O Village. You'd be missing out on good jerky and dried squid/fish.

Fantastic experience! - Mr Chen is a first rate tour guide. His ease of sharing the history and background of the location was delightful. I was traveling for business and was happy to be able to take advantage of seeing this gem. It was well worth the time. I would recommend this to anyone interested in visiting the Big Buddha, seeing the magnificent temple, and experiencing the history of the 500 year Tai O village. If you get lucky as I did, you may even spot the rare pink dolphins during your boat ride (which does require an additional nominal fee from a local boat service). I plan to return again with my family for this same tour once again!

Perfect day at Lantau - We had a perfect day visiting Lantau, the Big Buddha and Tai O village with Alexandra. She is gentle, knowledgeable and a lovely person to learn from and to be guided by. We very much enjoyed our time with her visiting this beautiful green and calm island and gaining insider knowledge. I couldn't recommend her and a visit to Lantau more!

Hong Kong - Day trip including Buda and Fishing Vilage Tai O - Our guide Stephanie was great. Very punctual, she arrived a bit earlier than agreed to pick us up. We did an itinerary that involved a cable car ride, a visit to the Buddha, and then we went down to the fishing village of Tai O. At all times, Stephanie explained what we were seeing, the reasons behind each thing, and engaged us with the local history. From simple things like the history of the airport's construction or the bridge to Macau, to more historical aspects such as the Opium Wars and the constitution of Hong Kong. Furthermore, her knowledge as a guide helped us optimize the tour, avoiding queues and the busiest times at attractions, which not only saved time but also made the tour more relaxed and stress-free. I highly recommend taking this tour with Stephanie.

Great, personalized tour - we did the private walking tour of lantau island, including the big buddha and tai o village. Our guide (Alex) really tried to find special things to entertain our young girls, pointed out good locations to try street food, and found us a nice spot for lunch on the beach. Having a guide was great, because navigating the queues for the cable car aren't straight forward and she was able to show us more of the village than we would have explored on our own. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins but that is a gamble with any tour. Though we had younger children (5-7), there is a lot of walking on this tour (probably around 10K steps) and it wouldn't work well with strollers. We only did this one tour with the company but Alex was very knowledgeable about the city and could likely do a great job with any of their tours.
