Passeios por Causeway Bay

Tramoramic Tour Before coming to Hong Kong, I saw many YouTubers introducing this tour. I had already purchased the tour on Klook in Taiwan. Upon arrival, I just needed to show the QR code. Each passenger received a small gift bag, which included headphones. You can use the headphones on the Ding Ding tram to listen to the guided commentary, which I thought was great. We departed at 10:00 AM from next to Harbour City in Sheung Wan. We arrived in Causeway Bay around 11:00 AM, making it about a one-hour sightseeing tour. It's very suitable for tourists to get to know Hong Kong in a short amount of time. Along the way, we passed through Sheung Wan, Central, Wan Chai, Happy Valley... and also passed by the "villain hitting" ritual and Times Square in Causeway Bay. After reaching the Causeway Bay terminus, we then went to the nearby Indomie Supermarket to buy egg waffles from Low-Key Master Street Food.

I booked this 5-hour tour (9am-2pm) for a short holiday to Hong Kong in mid-January 2026 with my mother (in her 70s). The operator is "myhktour" and they will add customers to a group WhatsApp the evening before the tour date. The assigned driver will also be added to the group chat for easy communication. We were assigned Driver/Guide Bill, who picked us up punctually at the hotel. The vehicle is actually good for 6 people, so with just the two of us on the tour, it was really spacious. We conversed with Bill in Mandarin. Before leaving the hotel, he asked if we had any spots we wanted to visit before he entered the routes into his vehicle's GPS. We appreciated that he drove carefully, was friendly, and helped us take photos. We covered many spots (such as Central (drive-through), Man Mo Temple, Pottinger Street, the Monster Building (a lot of tourists snapping pictures there), Stanley Bay, Repulse Bay, The Peak (Bakehouse has an outlet there)) on Hong Kong Island, and Bill allowed us some time to explore without making us feel rushed.

When heading to Pier 7, be mindful of the time as it can be very crowded. On the footbridge, you need to go down the stairs on the left; going straight will lead you to the Star Ferry. After descending the stairs, turn left and you will see a bus stop. Ask a staff member for assistance. After purchasing your ticket, save the QR code to your photo album and download the Citybus Tourist App. Scan the QR code into the app, then show it to the staff to gain access to the priority lane, allowing you to board first. You will be given a card as proof of priority access. You still need to queue for the bus, and staff will ask you to scan your ticket using the app. Before boarding, staff will collect your priority access card. When disembarking, you will need to scan your ticket with the app again. You can get off at any stop, but boarding is always in Central to secure good seats. The entire journey is very interesting, and H2K goes through the underwater tunnel, which is highly recommended.

Thank you. The guide was very accommodating and made sure we were in the right queue and was very informative about all the buildings and historical sights in the area. It was fun exploring Temple Street. My son and I bought dumplings, toy cars, and some souvenirs. It was a lovely ride. More bookings to come to you, guys.

The audio guide was easy to operate and had a choice such as Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Korean. We were given a corn snack and a packet drink during the trip as well. Ones the fact that we were given a glimpse of one of the two closed floating restaurants, Tai Bai, sister boat to the Jumbo restaurant. The tour assistant, Joyce Yuen, gave us interesting facts about the floating museum so it was fun! There were opportunities for some 3D photos on the roof of the floating museum so don't miss it out!!!

We selected the 6:30 PM slot. We arrived around 5:30 PM, and since it was still early, we ordered some drinks at Starbucks, which is next to Wildfire Pizzabar. Around 6:15 PM, we saw a huge crowd (a tourist group) already waiting in line, but we didn't join them and just followed the instructions sent via email. Our tour guide was already waiting, so we joined the line. We were a small group on the Dukling, roughly less than 15 tourists. We were offered a choice of water or soft drinks. The view was magnificent. It's better to bring a jacket as it is extremely cold and windy. My only suggestion is that they should have an official photographer for the Dukling while sailing the harbor, as sometimes high-end cellphone cameras don't quite do it justice.

What a great way to tour around the city! We had the best time sightseeing, appreciating, and learning the history of each stop. It was a great bonus to do this on such a fine day! Having been on this tour made it easier for us to explore — less stress and more convenient! We encourage anyone visiting to try this as well.

The Victoria Harbour cruise is a good experience overall, especially for the views and relaxing atmosphere. The staff are accommodating and approachable, and they’re happy to provide refills when requested. That said, the snacks could be improved since the selection is quite basic and mostly just chips. The price could also be a bit lower, considering the Symphony of Lights can be viewed from anywhere around the harbour. Overall, it’s still a good experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement, which I think applies to most harbour cruises as well.
