5?: “like an ultra private tour…”

Kathy Alecia (Toursbylocals) from the US
17 Apr 2017
5?Review: Great service, prompt pickup, Frank and drivers were very professional and the tour was very pleasant. We strategically arrived at the destination where the crowds haven’t formed and it felt like an ultra private tour. (Browse private tour page)
Frank’s response: Thank you very much, Kathy! We know good transportation is the precondition for the success of the Lantau Island Big Buddha private car tour. So we adopt the private car + private Lantau taxi + Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car formula, which has the efficiency with a reasonable price, to bring clients to go back and forth the Big Buddha easily and enjoyably. When the cable car service resumes in June 2017, our half day 4-hour Lantau Island Big Buddha private car tour will be perfect! (Message Frank to plan YOUR private tour)
