Guided TF tours in Hong Kong?

I would use the toy maps and if you have any issues ask at the hotel. They guy could even be a scammer leading you to some back alley where some buddies of his rob you blind.

Sure he may be legit but best to learn from others

Plus: He may recieve commision from shops if you make a purchase so its not really independant.

^That's a really good point

I might have spoken too soon.

Does this fee includes any transport and/or meal costs?

If so it's probably not bad, but if it's just the fee for the tour, it is a bit steep in my view, even if he takes you around various areas of HK.

No food provided, just transport.... i thought

I've shut it down. Originally it was meant to be $20pp then , when we showed interest he upped it to 40

I'm going to wing it, of coarse i'll get printouts of HD's maps Only issue i had in Singapore (last time) was that some of the shops had moved,

In HK the only "issue" I had was that some stores were closed if I went too early. I still managed to do all my TF shopping in two half days, solo, with no clue of the language, using HD's maps, currency conversion on my phone and the subway between the two key areas. Regular late night trading is a big help. My other issue was the heat. So awfully muggy in July but okay once inside.

+1. It's even worse for bespectacled fellas like me... my lenses would just immediately fog up whenever I stepped outside!
