What is the best timing for taking the Peak Tram?

A lot of travelers, who want to dodge the crowds, ask this question.

The answer is as early as possible.

 

Travelers must reach the Lower Peak Tram Terminus at Central before 1000 a.m., especially on the Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.

Normally if travelers arrive at the Garden Road terminus after 1000 a.m. only, they need to wait for a long time to buy tickets and take the Peak Tram.

5: “Frank was a terrific tour guide for our group…”

Eric K. (Toursbylocals) from the US

5 Review: Frank was a terrific tour guide for our group. He is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Hong Kong. We toured during the super busy time of lunar new year and Frank was a master at knowing how and when to maximize our time and minimize the big crowds. Riding a small boat through Aberdeen harbor was memorable as was a delicious dim sum lunch where we were the only non-locals. I highly recommend Frank as your guide, you will leave with a great experience.(Browse private tour page)

Frank’s response: Thank you very much for your five stars review, Eric! Our good planning can help clients to dodge the big crowds and win more valuable sightseeing time. This is especially important in the crowded Hong Kong during the busy Chinese New Year time. Hope you get the easy private car tour experience from our service!(Message Frank to plan YOUR private tour)

How can I get to the Victoria Peak when the Peak Tram is out of service?

The Peak Tram service will only resume in late 2021 or early 2022 when the large scale renovation project accomplishes (For details, please browse Frank’s old post).

 

Apart from hiking, travelers can take the green mini bus No 1, bus route No 15 or No X15 or taxi to reach Victoria Peak when there is no Peak Tram service. (For details, please browse the link about the Peak’s transportation.)

Frank’s response: Thank you very much, Anne! The private car’s flexibility and the driver’s support give the private guide room to make prompt and badly needed changes during the tour. (Message Frank to plan YOUR private tour)

Can I have a leisure walk at the Victoria Peak?

Walking up the Victoria Peak through the hiking trails is too challenging and difficult to a lot of travelers.

Actually after reaching the Peak by Peak Tram, travelers can have a leisure walk on the Lugard Road.

The entrance of Lugard Road is right next to the Peak Tower.

 

During the easy walk on the plain path, travelers can enjoy the great Victoria Harbor view and see the natural landscape.

 

Frank the tour guide can walk with clients on the scenic Lugard Road during the easy Hong Kong Island private tour.

5Review: Frank was a fabulous tour guide. I really got a feel for the city and its culture after only 4 quick hours with Frank. I would recommend Frank to everyone and anyone. (Browse private tour page)

Frank’s response: Thank you very much, James! You and your Dad were the first clients to take the 45-min leisure walk option on Lugard Road. It is a good way to see the amazing view of Hong Kong from another angle, see the natural landscape and do more exercise during the Hong Kong Island Highlights private car tour. After the walk, clients can recoup in the cool private car. We are going to add more meaningful leisure walk options for the clients to enhance clients’ easy & enjoyable private tour experience! (Message Frank to plan YOUR private tour)

If Victoria Peak is blanketed by the fog, where can I see the view?

During the Spring time in March and April, the Victoria Peak is often shrouded by the fog.

To dodge the foggy weather and try to see the good view, travelers can go to the mid-level Stubbs Road lookout point or go to the waterfront.

 

Frank the tour guide’s easy Hong Kong Island private tour by private car can try the best to help the clients to find the good view at the alternative viewing points when the weather is not cooperative.

 

5: “Touring with Frank was excellent…”

Thomas Lynch (Toursbylocals) from the UK

5Review:Touring with Frank was excellent. We really enjoyed the half day tour of Hong Kong Island seeing all the highlights. The only disappointment was the fog around the viewpoint and even with this Frank juggled the itinerary round to give us the best chance of seeing something. After the tour finished he even helped us with a restaurant and to order lunch. The tour was well organized, Frank was informative and funny and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. (Browse private tour page)

Frank’s response: Thank you very for your five stars rating, Thomas! Your review shows the important flexibility of our private car tour program. When clients have the workable requests or when it is necessary to make the change (e.g. due to bad weather) to the program, the included car with driver can change the route easily for clients and guide. The guide can still focus on doing the basic but important job, making tour commentary. That is why our private car tour program prevails! (Message Frank to plan YOUR private tour)
