3 Days Hong Kong Private Tour

In the morning, your guide and driver will meet you in your hotel lobby. Then, let’s lace up our walking shoes, get cameras ready, and head to the first stop of the day: Victoria Peak. As the highest peak of Hong Kong Island , it is an ideal place to overlook the gorgeous Victoria Harbor and urban scenery.

★ Memorable Experience: Ride the Peak Tram as the Skyline Unfolds

To bring you a unique experience on one of the locals’ most cherished, old transports, we’ve specially included a one-way Peak Tram, running for over 130 years, to shuttle you up to the summit. During a less-than-10-minute ride, you’ll admire a dense forest of modern skyscrapers unfolding before your eyes through the panoramic windows, while feeling the backward pull as the tram climbs the steep gradient. After alighting from the tram, take a few steps to the observation deck and admire the view below:  beneath a sky-blue horizon, massive vessels sail slowly across the sapphire-like sea, framed by high-rise clusters that lend the city a neat and bright charm. You may also follow your guide on a 20-minute hike to Lugard Road Lookout. Tucked away in leafy shade, this tranquil trail will let you escape from crowds and enjoy breathtaking panoramic scenes of mountains and the sea.

Later, let’s travel south to Repulse Bay, a relaxing seaside escape. Stroll barefoot along the crescent-shaped coastline of fine white sand, as gentle waves caress your feet in soothing rhythm. Or venture further into Kwun Yam Shrine, an eye-catching two-story traditional Chinese landmark in bright red. When beholding an array of sacred figures across different religious sects, from the Goddess of the Sea to Maitreya Buddha, you’ll truly sense the cultural richness and all-embracing spirit that define Hong Kong.Afterward, continue our exploration with a laid-back walk around Aberdeen, a historic fishing settlement established as early as the 14th century. For centuries, generations of local fishers have sustained their livelihoods by the water with traditional sampans, which double as fishing boats and family dwellings. Though most boat-dwellers have settled on land nowadays, you can still witness rows of moored boats, busy fishermen going about their daily errands, and boisterous seafood markets, all of which allow you to trace the historical roots of Hong Kong, originally a humble fishing harbor. 

★ Special Inclusion:

A 15-20 minutes’ sampan ride is available for you to experience a close encounter with the traditional lifestyle of these “water families”. 

Let’s then arrive at the 150-plus-year-old Man Mo Temple, which offers an intimate look into indigenous religious culture. Inside the green-tiled temple where light smoke lingers in the air, marvel at its ceiling hung with long-burning incense coils in serene order. Dedicated to the God of Literature, who bestows academic success and official careers, and the God of War symbolizing wealth and loyalty, this sacred site invites you to follow local traditions to burn incense, ring the bell, and strike the drum to pray for blessings.

As we step onto the uneven stone slabs, it means we’re walking along one of Hong Kong’s oldest streets, Pottinger Street, whose unique design efficiently drains rainwater and prevents pedestrians from slipping. Slow your pace and soak in the old-town atmosphere, where weathered green iron-clad shacks lining the street brim with secondhand books, delicate handicrafts, and all sorts of nostalgic trinkets. Grab your camera or smartphone, use a telephoto lens to frame retro signs, shuttling red buses, or sauntering passersby in the distance, and capture your own standout shot throughout the year. We’ll then dive into Central Market, a revitalized public hub repurposed from a century-old vegetable market, seamlessly blending into the surrounding concrete jungle. After appreciating the iconic terrazzo staircase, tilt your gaze upward to the high ceiling, where vintage egg-shaped lamps hang like suspended time capsules, their warm glow softly illuminating the bustle below.  Wandering here, you may catch sight of downtown office workers rushing by with quick bites, leisurely travelers selecting handicraft souvenirs from old brands, and expert baristas carefully preparing mellow coffee for guests.

Cap off the day at Hollywood Road, a paradise for retro-culture seekers. While its name might immediately bring to mind Hollywood of California, this street actually predates the famous U.S. district - it was named after the holly bushes that once lined the way. Turn into its narrow alleys to discover countless hidden gems: large, vividly colored graffiti depicting Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Charlie Chaplin; small boutiques laden with vintage jewelry, antique gadgets, and handwoven bags; and a diverse array of eateries offering East-meets-West cuisines, including cheese-rich pizza, Danish pastries, and squid ink baguettes.

Finally, your guide and driver will escort you back to your hotel.
