Hi there,

Greetings for the day!!!

I am travelling to HK and Macau with my wife and young kids in a week's time. I need your info and support for this trip to make it a convenient and memorable one.

Ours is 9 days and 8 nights trip. We'll be going to Macau directly from HK Intl. Airport. Please suggest which ferry to take-cotaijet or turbojet in terms of comfort? I am more concerned here as my younger son is just 1 year old and he will be travelling through air and sea back-to-back for the first time.

We will be staying for 2 days at Venetian Macao. Please suggest me the activities to be taken up at Venetian Macao, City of dreams and local areas. We are planning to cover Ruins of St. Paul, Senado Square, A Ma Temple, Macau Fisherman’s Wharf, Macau Tower, Kun Iam Statue, Wine & Grand Prix Museum, St. Lawrence Church, Guia Fortress, Ponte 16 - MJ Gallery, etc. Please suggest the sequence of covering all these places and how? Can you suggest me the bus route for this?

After Macau, we will be going to Disneyland. Which ferry terminal in HK will be closest to Disneyland and how can we reach DL from ferry terminal through MTR/Taxi?

After 2 days at Disneyland, we will be moving to our hotel in Wanchai (near to MTR station). We would like to cover Ocean Park, The Peak with Madame Tussauds, Ladies' Market, Symphony of Lights Cruise, Ma Wan Park Noah's Ark etc. in HK in 2 and a half days. Please help me in designing the itinerary with maps and transport information (preferably MTR) from Wanchai.

We would like to keep one day for Shenzhen. Do we need any prior arrangements (like visa, etc.) for this? What all places we can cover in Shenzhen in a day? How can we go to Shenzhen from Wanchai?

I would also like to know Indian restaurants in the Wanchai area as we are with kids and we would need that. Also, please let me know any special considerations if we need to look into for our infant. Do you suggest carrying a stroller with us from our native place. Don't we get them in DL and Ocean Park on rent? Otherwise, we will be carrying a baby-carrier with us to carry our infant.

Looking forward to your reply to all my queries. It would be of great help for me and my family.

Thanking in anticipation.
