The Experience

The day starts with pickup from your Hong Kong hotel and a crossing of the HZM Bridge—a 55-kilometer route that connects the two territories. After immigration and customs, you arrive in Macau and meet your English-speaking guide. The first stop is the Venetian Macau, one of the world's largest casinos, where you have time to walk through the resort; this is optional and no gambling is required. From there, the tour moves to the Statue of Kum Iam, a 20-meter bronze monument dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy, before heading to the historic core of the city.

The Ruins of St. Paul's Church and the pedestrianized Senado Square form the heart of Macau's UNESCO World Heritage zone. You walk through both on foot, seeing the baroque facade of the ruins and the Portuguese colonial architecture of the square. Lunch is a buffet served at Tromba Rija restaurant inside Macau Tower (or an alternative Macau Tower restaurant if that location closes). After eating, you have the option to visit the observation deck on Level 61 of the Macau Tower for a panoramic view of the Pearl River Delta, though the entrance fee (138 HKD for children and seniors, 208 HKD for adults) is separate.

The A-Ma Temple, built in 1488 and one of Macau's three oldest temples, is your final major stop. The temple sits on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is dedicated to Metsu, the Goddess of seafarers and fishermen. After exploring the temple grounds, you return to the ferry terminal and travel back to Hong Kong by high-speed ferry (economy class), then transfer by coach to your hotel. The entire outing takes 9 hours from pickup to drop-off.
