Hong Kong & Macau done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Recommended.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Worth every rupee.
Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Worth every rupee.
Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.

Macau is a separate immigration jurisdiction from Hong Kong and both are separate from mainland China. Many nationalities get visa-free entry to both, but you pass immigration twice on the day trip — carry your passport, not a copy.
