Martin Heyes was our tour guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about the history, buildings, and area in Hong Kong. We walked several miles, about 3 1/2 hours in total, but he was sensitive to the heat and our endurance and stopped at several shady locations to share more information. I knew nothing about Hong Kong before the trip, so this was a perfect introduction. We learned about WWII, the British, Japanese and Chinese influences in the area, and also why he chose to stay and calls it home! We discussed everything from the war and Japanese invasion, to architecture, cricket courts, parks, the world's longest covered pedestrian escalator, Scottish kilts, shopping markets, historical jails now cafes, and statues once stolen, now returned. He infuses humor with history!! I highly recommend these tours!!
