Tour was very brief. We had so short time for shopping at Stanley Market. Recommend that tour would include more time at the Wax Museum since part of the tour is at the Victoria Peak. We found the peak tram rather weird when we moved backwards. The tourist guide, Angela was very fluent in English. But it was rather sad for her assistant, Simon to have taken our pictures but didnt inform us before hand that he would make souvenirs out of them and would costs us so much. Had we known we wouldnt allow him to do so because we already had souvenirs in our previous visits. Everybody in the bus were surprised and were charged HKD250 each.

I did not pay extra for the fishing village because I was caught off-guard by the high and unstated price. We should have seen more of the HK Island highlights.

Not very interesting half the morning was taken up by a trip round a drab harbour which was a waste of time and the usual trip to an outlet where they what you to buy over priced jewelery.
Trip to Victoria Peak is fine but more time could have been spent there.
For what you see you might as well take the local buses which abound and are cheap

Much too commercial. Some parts interesting, such as Aberdeen and Victoria Peak; but the hour+ spent at jewelry factory (more attractive jewelry prices and products in Beijing and Singapore, and in Hong Kong jade market) could have been much better spent devoted to touring.

As the first stop is Aberdeen Harbour and Fishing Village which is by coach and the last stop is Victoria Peak so will followed by a ride of Peak Tram down to Admiralty.
Normally our tour guide will talks on the coach but rest of the time is free time for passenger to walk around the sightseeing spot, photos taking or buy some souvenirs etc.
Visit to the jewellery factory is part of the itinerary and it is to introduce passenger how jewellery is made and the step-by-step procedure etc so passenger will get the basic knowledge on this. If passenger do not have interest on this, normally our tour guide will tell passenger to take a seat in the rest room or there are some souvenir shops outside, passenger can walk around the shops.
