Linda is a New Zealander, the granddaughter of a tailor.

Client feedback Hi Linda, I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for the two fantastic tours that you managed for me last week in Shenzhen and HK. I definitely couldn't have managed to buy as much or such great products without your insight and assistance! The great news is that the curtains are all within the required measurements...and I managed to insert all of the eyelets into my medieval costume last night! So I am really pleased with our successful purchases :) I have given you rave reviews to family and friends and will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone interested in shopping tours in Hong Kong. I hope you have a wonderful trip back to New Zealand and best wishes for the upcoming festive season.
Regards, Kim

General Information
Walk Hong Kong shopping tours are walking tours, therefore comfortable shoes are recommended.
Cash is best for market purchases & information on money machine locations will be provided. Most retail stores accept credit cards.
Hong Kong is plastic bag free, so please bring your own backpack or recyclable bags.
We have not included refreshments in our costings as we realise everyones tastes/requirements are different, and that is not the focus of these tours. But Linda is suitably flexible to find somewhere that suits your needs - be in local style or not.
Dear Linda, Just
a note to say thankyou so much for taking us on the shopping tour. We
both had a great day out and went back and got Anish's shoes made and
went out for dinner in the SOHO area also. Tailor Kwuan was absolutely
excellent and we were both delighted with the clothes that he made and
you know that, as we are both dressmakers, how fussy we are! Once
again, many thanks and we will definitely be recommending your
services! With very best wishes,Katie and Anish,Private
