“You Only Get a Driver, Not a Tour Guide”

The good: very comfortable minivan and capable driver who got us where we needed to go. Also, the locations/itinerary were very enjoyable, especially the Peak and harbor. The Not-So-Good: this is advertised as having an English-speaking driver/tour guide. We got neither. Our driver advised the moment we met that he spoke almost no English and only drove. A guide informs you and shares interesting info. Ours did not and didn’t try to in either English or via Google Translate even when we asked questions. Communication before the tour was also nerve-wracking as there were limited responses from the tour company through GoWithGuide when we hadn’t heard from the driver. We were about to cancel when the driver finally messaged us three minutes before our scheduled meeting time. Also, at the end of the tour, the driver wanted us to reimburse him about $30 USD for tolls and parking fees, even though the terms of the tour say that tolls are included (and are silent as to parking). Apart from the above, we really enjoyed Hong Kong and we always felt that the driver got us to places safely. He also responded well via message app WA during the tour when we wanted to be picked up (he responds in English because he can translate/understand your message via translator app). You just have to be aware that you are spending quite a bit of money (almost $500 for us) just for a driver, not a guide/tour, let alone an English-speaking one as advertised. You might do better just using Uber/taxis to get to these places.

We are truly sorry for the misunderstanding. I’ll revise our service description to clearly specify that overtime, parking and certain cross-area costs are excluded. We also sincerely apologize regarding the language issue with the driver. We will pay more attention to language requirement for future bookings. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

“Guide’s Reliability”

Engaging the services of Ms Heidi Lee for my Shenzhen was the best decision. She speaks English which greatly helped me and my travelling party. More than that, she is a very reliable and professional guide. She helped to plan, according to our desired preferences, co-ordinated and led the group of us during the entire trip. She is also very friendly and approachable.

“A visit off Mutianyu Great Wall+Summer Palace together with Jenny Lee.”

We had a wonderful day together with Jenny. First time in China having such a good guide but also coach is very special. Learned a lot about the history off China, and also China at the present. She made our day worth while. Super. Tnx Jenny.
