I'm Sue, the WISE & INTELLIGENT Guru of Hong Kong :) I'm a fun multilinguist LEGAL EAGLE (speaking Mandarin/Cantonese/English/French) and I am witty, smart, fun and kind. My tours are SMALL, FOCUSED & COSY. I love sharing and learning about different cultures. I've travelled through 50+ countries and I know what tourists love. I love everything that has to do with Hong Kong. Some people compare Hong Kong with Beijing, Shanghai, or Singapore and say those cities are better. NO, NO, NO, that is so not true. Hong Kong has everything and it is the best. Come join me on my tours, where you would learn so much more about Hong Kong, that no other tours could compare! Let me show you Hong Kong with many wise giggles & fun laughs!
SMALL GROUP - Wanchai Heritage - Chinese Laborers (Coolies) living through Colonial Times
Route NOT OVERLAPPING any HK Introduction Tour
Hello travelers! I'm Sue, the wise guru from HK :)
This tour would take you around the Heritage Trail and historical building clusters within Wanchai.
You would 2 of HK's oldest temples, have your fortune told (if you want, at HK$5), learn about HK zodiac and travel through time as a Chinese laborer (coolie) in colonial HK, through which you understand about HK's history, and Wanchai's gentrification.
We will also look at incences and the creative joss papers that we now burn for the dead, and which created uproar when Gucci sends warning that ignites a social media spat. And why not try and taste a pineapple bun, an egg tart and some Chinese wedding pastries, as we walk along?
Sites/buildings you would visit include :
1. The Pawn House
2. No. 18 Ship Street
3. Hung Shing Temple Wanchai Market
4. The Old Post Office
5. Blue House / Yellow House / Orange House
6. Pak Tai Temple (where you may wish to ask yuor fortune with fortune sticks)
7. Wanchai Market
8. Green House (Nos 1 - 22 Mallory Street)
9. Old Jewellery Shops
10. Lee Tung Avenue (a/o IG sensation)
11. The Wedding Cake old building
***IMPORTANT***
Just a quick note on tipping: it's the standard practice for my tours, with a baseline of HKD150 per pax/per tour (HKD75 per child/per tour). Your support keeps my tours top-notch, with my historical expertise and academic background bringing your Hong Kong experience to the next level. While some guests go above and beyond this baseline, it's totally up to you! 🙏🏼
I will be at the UNDERGROUND area of "Exit A3 Wanchai MTR Station". Please note that I will contact you for final confirmation informing you about a confirmation within 24 hours before the event, where if I specify a SPECIFIC REPLY DEADLINE, which reply is failed, and where you are a solo booking, your booking may be interpreted as a cancelation. Thanks and therefore do respond to me when I write you near the event.

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
