Imperial Tours Provides Exclusive Activities in Hong Kong
San Francisco, Calif. – Imperial Tours is now able to offer a multitude of unique, exclusive experiences to its guests in Hong Kong. Visitors may participate in private activities only otherwise available to those "in the know," from a historical walking tour of the city to high tea with a fortune teller.
Special activities include:
Diplomatic Channel
The VIP treatment begins as guests deplane from their international flight. An airport official will meet weary travelers as they come off the jet bridge. They are whisked through the diplomatic channel without having to wait in long lines for customs and immigration. Then, a driver from the Peninsula Hotel meets guests and delivers them to the hotel in one of their ultra-luxurious Phantom Rolls-Royces.
Helicopter Tour
Imperial Tours can arrange for a helicopter tour of the city, providing stunning views of Hong Kong's dizzying skyline and the waters off Repulse Bay.
Personal Shopper
Aside from being a financial and commercial hub, Hong Kong is also a Mecca for serious shoppers. For those who want to take their shopping up a notch, why not hire a professional shopper? Choose from a networking of ex-pats who have lived in Hong Kong for decades and are truly passionate about shopping. Depending on specific interests, they can direct shoppers to the best and most reputable places for antiques, tailoring, custom jewelry, jade and porcelain, furniture, clothing, decorative items, leather goods and eyewear.
Fortune Teller
Take a break from shopping and sightseeing by having High Tea at the Peninsula with a Feng Shui and I-Ching master. This fortune teller will give a "Destiny Reading" based on one's date and place of birth. Alternatively, guests may bring along their architectural plans and the master will provide Feng Shui consulting.
Cooking Lesson
Food aficionados can take a private dim sum making lesson at the Peninsula Hotel. This experience is not only fun, but also instructive and will be followed by one of the best dim sum lunches anywhere in the world.
Art Expert
For serious art collectors, Imperial Tours – through its connection to Sotheby's – can arrange introductions to private collections and top tier dealers. Whether the interest lays in contemporary art, ceramics, or general antiques, access to these connections lends legitimacy to one's art purchases.
Breakfast at Tiffanys
Imperial Tours has the ability to open up the Tiffany store prior to its opening to the general public. Guests can enjoy a private breakfast and then have the store to themselves for an exclusive shopping spree. This can also be arranged at Prada and Chanel.
"There are so many amazing sightseeing, shopping and dining possibilities in Hong Kong," said Imperial Tours Managing Partner Nancy Kim. "Our company's aim is to help guests weed through the countless options and choose the best and most unique activities available. Hong Kong makes an excellent addition to any private tour to mainland China."
