A private sightseeing tour from Hong Kong's cruise terminals with a local driver-guide, lasting six hours and tailored to your interests.

The experience

How do you see Hong Kong in the time between ship departures? This tour solves that by meeting you at the cruise terminal with a driver who knows the city and can steer the day toward what interests you most. You travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle (either a 5-seater SUV or Tesla, or a 7-seater Alphard depending on your group size), so there's no waiting for a shared bus or negotiating with other passengers about where to stop. Fuel, parking and tolls are already covered in the price.

The stops shift based on what you want to see. Nan Lian Garden sits in a quiet corner with ornamental ponds, waterside pavilions and ancient trees. The red Zi Wu Bridge and gold Pavilion of Absolute Perfection are the landmarks people come for. Sai Kung, a fishing village three centuries old, sits in a cove with seafood restaurants and natural coastline. The Avenue of Stars runs along Victoria Harbour in Tsim Sha Tsui, honouring Hong Kong film industry celebrities. You can also visit the highest point in Kowloon for views of the peninsula, spin the wheel of fortune at a temple to pray for luck, or head to Monkey Hill to watch macaque monkeys in their habitat. Your driver shapes the route around your time and energy.

The six-hour window is built for cruise passengers: you return to the terminal in time to reboard. Extra time beyond that costs HKD350 per hour, charged to the driver in cash or card (5% fee on card). Luggage space depends on your vehicle choice and how much you're bringing back from the ship, so mention suitcase size when you book. A WhatsApp group with your driver forms the day before, so you have a direct line for any last-minute changes.

• Private air-conditioned vehicle (5-seater SUV/Tesla or 7-seater Alphard/Serena depending on group size).
