Hong Kong Signature Tours - Immerse in timeless heritages to uncover captivating narratives of the past!

Hong Kong enjoys a unique cultural heritage that has been formed by both its Eastern identity and Western history. While the city was handed back to China as a Special Administrative Region in 1997 after more than a century and a half of British rule, you can still find vestiges of the past preserved in grand buildings and various cultural traditions. If you want to take a step back in time, join us to explore a selection of notable sights along the MTR lines that showcase Britain’s influence on the city.
