Top 4 Bus Day Trips in China

1.Macau Seat-In-Coach Day Tour from Hong Kong

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 202 reviews · from $192Our pick

Travel from Hong Kong to Macau by Turbojet, then tour St. Paul’s Ruins, Monte Fortress, Senado Square, temples, and Lisboa Casino with local guides such as Patrick or Elsa. Lunch, hotel transfers, and return ferry tickets are included, but the packed day can feel rushed.

“We were a bit disappointed with Macau. Since we were not into Casinos the other attractions were a bit messy and in a hurry, we didn't even have time to go up the Macau's tower. The service was ok, the guide was polite and tried her best to instruct us about the city, but I wish could have seen more things of the city.”

3.Coach Day Tour – Lantau Island Visiting and Giant Buddha Cable Car Tour Plus Tai O Boat Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 65 reviews · from $105

Spend about eight hours exploring Lantau Island by coach, cable car, shuttle bus, and boat. Visit Tian Tan Buddha, Po Lin Monastery, and Tai O fishing village, with Kowloon hotel pickup, transport, and a vegetarian lunch on selected packages. Guides may include Ross, Ben, Pearl, Toby, or Ricky Martin.

“Pickup from hotel was really good. Access to cable car, Buddha and Tia O fishing village was great. Guide was really nice but not as accomplished and knowledgeable as expected. If you want convenient transport with good access this is the trip for you. If you want a trip with more detail and information this is not the trip for you. Not sure it was worth the money!”
