Itineraries: Itineraries are customized according to the tastes and interests of customers. The visit to all the places on the suggested itinerary will depend on your walking pace and the stops you decide to make (for example, for coffee, lunch, or using toilet facilities). Your guide will help you make the most of the time.
Transport: If you choose the public transport tour option, you will travel using the city’s excellent transport system (subway, ferry, bus, minibus, tram, etc.). If you opt for the tour by private transport, the itinerary may be affected by traffic.
Hike: It is recommended to be prepared for a moderate walk throughout the course (4-10 km), so we suggest wearing comfortable shoes. On some tour routes, it is possible to reduce the walks by taking a taxi (not included in the tour price).
Tours 5 hours: The detailed itinerary corresponds to the 6 and 8 hour tours. The 5-hour tour option does not include visiting Tai O Village; the itinerary only includes visiting the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery area.
Visit the Giant Buddha: To approach the Big Buddha, you need to climb 268 steps. However, you can also see the impressive figure from the base of the stairs without having to climb.
Ngong Ping Cable Car: In some cases, the Ngong Ping Cable Car will be under maintenance or unusable due to adverse weather conditions (winds, lightning and Typhoon 3 signal or higher). In this case, we will use an alternative means of transport.
Weather conditions: In the event of a Typhoon 8 signal or higher, or a red or black rain alert, the tour will be automatically cancelled and the full amount paid will be refunded. If available, the tour will be coordinated for an alternative date.
