5 things to consider before booking Hong Kong tour package

Thank you to Eliza Brooks <eliza@linkbytes.net> for this guest blog. She is a recent graduate, marketing intern, passionate blogger and frequent traveler. This is her second post at Easy Hong Kong Private Tour blog!

Hong Kong is one of the top destinations in Asia. It boasts numerous tourist spots, fun activities, as well as historical and artistic landmarks. Compared to other major cities around the world, Hong Kong has a convenient and easy-to-use transportation network and a safe environment. If you plan on booking a tour package in this great city, here are a few things to keep in mind.

 

Remark of Frank the tour guide: Due to the pandemic, you need to consider the extra thing, Air Travel Bubble, before booking. Hong Kong SAR and Singapore will re-launch the Air Travel Bubble in late May 2021.  Fully vaccinated Frank the tour guide can provide private car tour service to Singapore travelers. 

1.Double-check the dates

The excitement of going on a vacation might sometimes cloud our judgment. This is especially true when we’re choosing which sights to visit. Hong Kong has a lot to offer. Make sure that you are paying attention to the dates when choosing a tour package.

 

Pay close attention to special announcements as some sites might be close for some reason or another. If you have particular places you want to visit but are close to for maintenance or a special holiday, then choose another date that is suitable for your schedule.

Remark of Frank the tour guide: You may email Frank the tour guide to ask questions or plan your Hong Kong trip.

2.Talk to the tour company

With online transactions becoming the norm, most people prefer to do all their tour package booking without having to talk to an agent or staff. However, interacting face-to-face with your tour guide, or at least talking to them on the phone, can offer a lot of benefits.

 

For one thing, if you have special attractions or sights you want to see, they can help you to customize your package so that you hit those places at no added (or minimal) cost. Talking to your agent can sometimes save you time and money of double-booking or missing out on certain spots just because it is not included in the package stated.

Remark of Frank the tour guide: You can even WhatsApp Frank the tour guide to talk about your Hong Kong trip. Frank can help you to customize your Hong Kong private tour programme if your requests are workable.

3.Choose a company that can speak your language

A lot of tour companies offer different languages to cater to the multilingual and international visitors that Hong Kong receives annually. Many of these companies offer tours in English as it is a language widely spoken worldwide and this is a good deal if you happen to speak the language.

 

However, if English is not a strong language skill for you you might want to choose a company that offers tours in your language. This will make your experience more meaningful and memorable.

Remark of Frank the tour guide: Frank the tour guide can find his tour guide friends for the German speaking clients, Spanish speaking clients, Italian speaking clients etc. Frank can speak English and Chinese (Cantonese dialect and Mandarin).

4.Ask recommendations

A friend or family that lives in Hong Kong might recommend a great tour company for your visit.

 

If not, you can ask them to help you look for one since they have more insights about the city and which parts of it are worth seeing. Many companies offer generic packages that are often tourist traps. Someone who lives in the city will know the less crowded cafes, bars, and tourist spots that will make your visit a lot more fun and enjoyable.

Remark of Frank the tour guide: Other travelers’ reviews are also important. You may browse clients’ reviews about Frank the tour guide.

5.Consider a guided tour

One of the best ways to get to know Hong Kong on a deeper and more intimate level is by booking a guided walking tour around the city. This is perfect for backpackers and younger tourists.

You can also consider going on a guided tour by private car. A car makes it possible to reach more destinations around the city and your tour experience is a lot more comfortable.

 

A guided tour is particularly popular for both younger and older adventurers as it takes them to areas not often visited by regular tourists.

There are a ton of themes for these kinds of tours such as Hong Kong antique hunting, Causeway Bay Tour, or Downtown Introduction Tour. This is a great way to see the city from a different perspective and a guided tour offers a clearer picture of the city from the eyes of locals. Just remember to take a tracking device and your camera.

Remark of Frank the tour guide: Frank the tour guide recommends his private car tours to you…

Hong Kong is a wonderful place to visit and you should carefully plan ahead on the different places you want to see. What’s great about Hong Kong is it is a top destination within the region so it has a lot of tour packages that offer different stuff to suit every tourists’ needs. As a final tip, do a little bit of research on the things you can do or the places you want to visit in the city to help you choose the right package.
