Private Tour Lantau Island-Big Buddha and Tai O Village

Published on Jan, 2025

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.

Great Tour of Lantau Island & Tai O Village

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an amazing day exploring Lantau Island & Tai O Village. Stephanie is an excellent guide & we could not have had a better experience. Highly recommend!

Good tour

Published on May, 2024

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!
