Trafalgar Tour Itinerary
Day 1 | Welcome to Hong Kong |
| Hong Kong’s soaring skyline provides a magnificent backdrop for your soulful encounter with one of the world’s busiest cities – a shopping, cultural and dining mecca and your home for the next three nights. On arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in the heart of Kowloon. |
| Visits: Hong Kong |
| Accommodation: Park |
Day 2 | See the Sights of Hong Kong Dive Into Culture |
| This morning, we ascend to the top of Victoria Peak, taking the funicular railway which has ferried visitors up to the 373-metre summit since 1888. Admire the iconic views over Victoria Harbour and the lush hills that loom beyond glittering skycrapers. Our City Tour continues to Aberdeen Fishing Village where we’ll Dive Into Culture and embark on a sampan ride for insights into the lives of the fishermen who live and work on their boats. Next, we’ll indulge in a steaming Dim Sum lunch, a traditional Chinese meal made up of small plates of dumplings and other snack dishes accompanied by fragrant Chinese tea. Then it’s time for some bargain hunting Hong Kong-style as we venture to Stanley Market, one of Hong Kong’s oldest settlements. Strolling along its promenade and past stalls laden with memorabilia, clothes and other trinkets, it will be hard to imagine its colourful past as a pirate and smugglers’ haunt. We’ll return to our hotel later, enjoying an evening at leisure to immerse ourselves in the vibrant nightlife of Hong Kong. |

Day 3 | Explore Historical Macau |
| The dazzling playground of Macau takes centre stage today as we board a high-speed ferry bound for its glitz and glamour. On arrival, we’ll meet our Local Specialist who will accompany us throughout the day and reveal how 400 years of Portuguese colonial rule have made their mark on the culture and cuisine of this Chinese territory. We’ll drive along the Guia Circuit (Grand Prix Race Track) and see the golden statue of Kun Iam, the Goddess of Mercy before stopping at the 15th century Taoist A-Ma Temple dedicated to the Chinese Sea Goddess. Legend has it that Portuguese sailors named the enclave A-Ma-Gao to thank her for saving their ship in a storm. We continue to Macau Tower, ascending to its Observation Deck for panoramic views of the Macau cityscape, China, the Pearl River and even some islands of Hong Kong on a clear day. After lunch, we’ll visit the intricately carved stone façade that is all that remains of St. Paul's. Then, we’ll walk through the historic Senado Square towards Monte Fort, the former residence of governors and bastion against attempted invasions. Our final stop today will be to hedge your bets at one of Macau's top casinos before returning to Hong Kong by ferry. |
