Summary

Your 5-hour tour of Hong Kong begins when you meet your guide and small group in central Hong Kong, near the Peak tram station, at 8:30am. With your included ticket, you'll hop on the tram for the scenic ride up Lugard Road to the Peak, where you can walk on the promenade and enjoy the views. From 1,312 feet (400 meters) above sea level, snap photos of the impressive cityscape. Learn about the original, coal-fired tram that preceded the current electric one, built in the 1920s. From the Peak, hop a bus bound for Pok Fu Lam, where you'll refuel with a snack of dim sum. As you explore the village, learn about how the name Hong Kong came to be, which means Fragrant Harbor. Through your guide's narration, learn about Hong Kong's primary university, dairy farm, and other firsts. Your small group size means you get personalized attention from your guide and plenty of time to ask questions. You'll be dropped back at Admiralty Station at the end of your 5-hour tour; from there you're free to explore on your own.
