Private Tour: Hong Kong Island

Meet your private guide upon hotel pickup and set out by private vehicle to your first Hong Kong destination: Aberdeen Harbour. Here, discover a fascinating village that comprises a junk-dwelling community of fishermen and their families. You'll have the option to ride a sampan around the harbor (at an additional cost) for up-close views of life aboard these traditional boats.

Afterward, make a short visit to a renowned jewelry factory to observe professional craftsmen create beautiful works of art. Take note of the jewelry-making process as you watch these experts transform gold and sparkling gems into earrings, pendants and bracelets.

You'll pass picturesque Repulse Bay en route to Stanley Market, a great venue for bargain shopping in Hong Kong. Your private guide can help you find deals on everything from Chinese costume jewelry to silk clothing and sportswear as you browse the small shops. Grab a quick bite for lunch (own expense) while you have free time and take a look around.

Victoria Peak is the final stop on your half-day tour, with a tram ride to the top for excellent panoramic views. Your guide accompanies you on the funicular railway ride to the summit, where you’ll enjoy views of Hong Kong skyscrapers, Kowloon and the surrounding islands. Then head back down the hill and disembark for your return drive by private vehicle with drop-off at your hotel.
