Hong Kong Tourism - what I absolutely hate

Flag toting bored & mediocre tour guides with microphones, headsets, receivers, binders of charts | photo’s and huge tour groups (15 | 20 | 30 people) what a terrible experience

Jamie’s personal recommendations for the very best Private Tour Companies and Tour Guides that Hong Kong has to offer.

There is in Hong Kong an informal affiliation of Private Tour Guides, we call it :

The Hong Kong Private Guides Society

All of us are at the top of our game with the Tripadvisor reviews to back us up, quite a few of us have been around for 10 years or more doing Private Tours of Hong Kong but one thing is clear, we are all totally passionate about Hong Kong and we really know our stuff.

We formed the Group in early 2014 with the aim of improving existing high standards and sharing information, ideas and market intelligence, we want Guests who visit this fabulous city, Hong Kong to have the very best experience.

Entry to our group is by invitation only.

I always recommend you contact my friends directly through their websites and not through companies like Viator, Get Your Guide, Klook and such.

i know the Tour Industry in Hong Kong, I was a pioneer of Private Tours in Hong Kong, launching my business in 2010 and doing my first tour on April 4th 2011.

I completed 2,324 private tours in Hong Kong serving 6,000+ guests until Covid 19 closed down Hong Kong in January 2020 for 3 full years, I have since retired from doing tours and spend my time doing Hong Kong research, working as a consultant, offering unique Hong Kong experiences and doing my photography.

I also spend a significant portion of my day doing research in the fields of tours, travel and tourism and share this on a daily basis with my friends.

I was considered one of the very best private tour guides in Asia and was totally committed to offering my guests the best possible experience when they visited Hong Kong and worked (and continue to work) very closely with a select group of like minded tour companies with a similar mindset.

Laura | The Founder and inspiration behind Hello Hong Kong Tours, Hello Singapore Tours and Hello Tokyo Tours - see below for what top quality private and group tours are on offer

Read on if you want to book a private tour of Hong Kong or a group food tour of Hong Kong by an award winning tour Company, Hello Hong Kong Tours.

I should point out that Hello Hong Kong Tours was around 11+ years before the Hong Kong Tourism Board came up with it’s catchy Hello Hong Kong campaign in 2023 to promote Hong Kong after the 3 year Covid lockdown. I am sure it hasn’t done Laura any harm!

My first contact with Laura was 10 years ago on January 1st 2014 when I sent her an email to introduce myself, I had kept an eye on her start up Hello Hong Kong Tours and decided that Laura was someone I needed to know, I have always been a big fan of getting along with what I call friendly competitors.

In Hong Kong at the time there was still only 4 or 5 companies offering Private Tours of Hong Kong and there was more than enough business for everyone, each of us carving out our own little niche.

I met with Laura frequently and was in awe of her ambition and plans for the future and I knew immediately that an empire beckoned. Laura had correctly identified Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo as the 3 big markets in Asia and she has also added Yokohama in Japan to the list of markets she dominates!

I know from my own experience that a lot of guests (particularly those taking cruises) actually end up visiting these 4 connected Cities so having an operation in all of them made perfect sense. Laura also decided to emphasise food tours and boy does she excel in that sector!

Hello Tours also emphasises doing private tours and group tours, group tours being a particularly important aspect of food tours and I know from personal experience that Laura researches the hell out of the subject matter and is completely focused on providing the best possible experience for her guests.

I urge you to explore Laura’s websites and also read some of the Tripadvisor reviews, almost 2,000 in Hong Kong, almost 1,000 in Singapore and 90+ in Tokyo and this is despite the Covid 19 pandemic decimating tourism in Asia for 3 years

You simply cannot go wrong booking a tour with Hello Tours no matter which city they operate in, a fabulous experience awaits you!

……and I urge you to book directly with them via their website and not OTA’s such as Viator, Tripadvisor, Tours by Locals and such.

Me Jamie I personally completed 2,324 Private Tours of Hong Kong between 2011 - 2020 and was considered one of the finest private tour guides in Asia, I am a pretty good judge of character and Laura and her team of guides are amazing
