The local tour director in Hong Kong changed the schedule to suit her needs and was unaware of the optional tours we had already pre-booked before we arrived. If we had not booked those optional tours we would have been left sitting around the 1st full day in Hong Kong with nothing to do.
Outstanding tour guide, made this trip very special by sharing his vast knowledge of history and his personal experiences. He went far beyond his job requirement to ensure that everybody had a good experience.
Hotels were mostly 5 stars. Tour guides were knowledgable, cooperative, professional and punctual.
Exceptional.
