In April, 2015 My Mom and I took a 17 night North Asia cruise with Celebrity Millennium. The cruise embarked from Hong Kong, so we decided to spend a few days there pre-cruise. We contacted Jenny a couple of months in advance, and after a few emails, finalized an itinerary in which Jenny agreed to share her beautiful city with us:
Day 1 (April 8, 2015)
Jenny met us in our hotel lobby and we set out to see:
- The world's largest escalator
- Ladies market
- Chung King Mansions
- Star Ferry
- Victoria Peak and Tram
- Temple Street Market
- Symphony of Lights
Day 2 (April 9, 2015)
- Chi Lian Nunnery
- Nan Lian Garden
- Lantau Island, Big Buddha, ad Tai O Fishing Village
We had requested a truly local experience, so rather than renting a car, we traveled by bus, metro, ferry, and local taxis.
As our party included a senior - without asking her to - Jenny made arrangements to our schedule to ensure that we had a few rest stops so my Mom would not be too exhausted by the day's end. Jenny's thoughtfulness was very much appreciated.
Jenny is a considerate, accommodating, punctual, and fun host. She is also very knowledgeable and passionate about her city, so her excitement in sharing her city rubs off quickly. If you have a chance to visit Hong Kong, and need someone to introduce you to the local sites and cuisine, you could not do better than Jenny.
Best wishes for happy and safe travels,
Geeta and Savitri Sharma
