I recently returned from Hong Kong in which time I used my phone for the Tsim Sha Tsui walk. I loved how I could go at my own pace especially with things that interested me more, I was able to spend as much time as I wanted there without being told by the guide that we must move on. The commentary was incredibly informative and I found out so many interesting facts and quirky tales that I wouldn't have been told on a normal tour!! Kel - HKTB.
