Ask an Expert
 
Dear HKTB,
 
I have clients that will be transiting in Hong Kong from midday with a late night onward flight. They have never been to Hong Kong before... are there any transit tours available or is it easy enough to go into the city and explore on their own? 
 
Thanks for your help. 
 
Kind regards, 
Kelly
