Private Tours for Solo Travellers in Hong Kong 2027



Foreword by Jamie

One Pace, No Flag, No Script - Why a Private Tour Still Beats a Group of Twenty

I used to do a lot of private tours with people who arrived in Hong Kong on their own. Between 2011 and 2020 I took out 350+ solo guests. That was more than 15% of the books. About 90% of those tours were with women travelling alone. Some were young and seeing Asia for the first time. Some were in their 70s and 80s. A surprising number were the wives of businessmen who were stuck in meetings and did not fancy another afternoon in a hotel coffee shop. One American lady came back 8 times over 3 years. I still remember those tours with real pleasure.

Then the city was closed for 3 years to non residents.

When visitors returned, the mix on my calendar changed. Couples, two couples who had met on a ship, families, seniors. Solo bookings did not vanish, but they thinned out, and I am not going to dress that up. Part of it is the market. A lot of companies now sell “tours for singles”, which usually means a group of 20 strangers wearing stickers. Part of it is price. A private tour for one person is not cheap, so the person travelling alone has to decide the conversation is worth it. Part of it is my own page. The old solo post did not age well. It quoted someone else’s group-tour marketing, then spent a paragraph saying that was not what I do. It talked about 53 years when I now write 50+. It wandered. It had a 10 point list that could have sat on any website in any city. That is not how I write now, and it is not how I want a first-time reader to meet me in 2027.

This refresh is longer on purpose. I would rather write 10 paragraphs than 3. If you are coming to Hong Kong on your own in 2027, whether you have 4 hours off a ship, 6 hours between flights at Hong Kong International Airport, or a full 8 hours from a hotel in Central or Tsim Sha Tsui, this page is for you. I still welcome solo travellers with open arms. I always did. I just stopped saying it properly.

Who this page is actually for

I do not like marketing labels much. Solo traveller can mean a 24 year old with a backpack and 3 nights in a hostel. It can mean a 68 year old widow who has done Tokyo and Singapore and wants Hong Kong explained, not performed. It can mean a man on a 9 hour layover who would rather walk than sit in the airport. It can mean a woman whose husband is in back-to-back meetings in Admiralty and who would like a grown-up tour rather than a shopping mall. It can mean a photographer who wants time at a viewpoint and does not want 11 other people in every frame.

If any of that is you, you are booking a tour for one. Not a seat on a coach. Not a “singles departure” where the selling point is that you might make friends. You will make one friend if you want one, and that is me, for 3 to 8 hours. Then you go back to your own evening. That is the product.

I will take 1 person. I will take 6. I will not take more than 6. Most of my work sits at 2 to 4. A tour with 1 guest is, if I am honest, one of the easier ones to do well, because there is only one pace to read and only one set of interests to serve.

It is a different dynamic. I like it. I also know what it is not. It is not a fitness outing. It is not a competition to see how many sites we can visit before the light goes. If that is what you want, I have friends who will do it better.

A few numbers, because I prefer numbers to adjectives

  • 2,400+ private tours completed since April 2011

  • close to 7,000 guests

  • 350+ solo traveller tours between 2011 and 2020

  • solo guests were about 15% of the total before 2020, and that share is still in that region when they do book

  • about 90% of those solo tours, historically, were with women travelling alone

  • age range on solo tours has run from 14 to 85, with a large cluster between 20 and 35 and another among guests over 60

  • approaching 150 shore excursions from Ocean Terminal and the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal

  • group size cap: 1 to 6 people. Full stop.

  • most useful lengths for a person on their own: 6 hours and 8 hours. A 4 hour morning still works if that is the time you have.

  • night tours are 3 hours, 6.30pm to 9.30pm

Private Tours for Solo Travellers in Hong Kong 2027


What other companies mean by solo, and what I mean

Most solo travellers in Hong Kong these days do not book a private tour. They end up on a free walking tour, or they join a large paid group tour from a company that sells seats. Both look like a bargain on the screen. Both can put you in a group of 20 to 50 people. A flag, a sticker, a guide on a microphone, and a route that has to work for the slowest person and the person who only wanted a photograph at the next stop. The price is attractive. The tour quality is not in the same conversation as a tour built for one person.

I have stood on those walks in the name of research. Some of the guides work hard. That is not the point. The format is the point. You cannot ask a proper question in a huddle of 40 on a pavement in Central. You cannot change your mind at 11am. You cannot linger. You are buying a place in a line.

The other product, the one I sell, is a tour for one. You are not there to meet the group. There is no group. You set the subjects. You set the speed. You can change your mind because the light on the harbour is better than the plan you made at breakfast. That is the version I have been doing since 2011.

I say this without heat. If your main aim is a cheap look at a few streets, and you do not mind sharing the guide with 20 to 50 other people, the free tour and the big paid group tour will do that job. If your main aim is to understand Hong Kong in the hours you have, book a private tour.

What solo guests actually ask for, once the niceties are over

After 15+ years I can tell you what lands. People travelling alone rarely want a theme park tour. They want the city to make sense. Why the buildings look the way they do. Why the MTR (Subway) is so clean. Why English is still on the signs. What 1997 felt like if you were already here, and what daily life feels like now. They want a viewpoint that is worth the effort, not a photograph taken through a ticket barrier. They want someone who will answer an awkward question without sliding into political correctness.

They also want company that knows when to stop. That is the part a lot of pages miss. A tour with one guest can turn into a 6 hour monologue if the guide cannot read the room. We have 3 adult sons. I have been married for over 4 decades. I can talk, and I can leave a silence on the Star Ferry if that is what the morning needs. You do not have to perform enthusiasm for 8 hours. You also do not have to walk around Hong Kong pretending you are invisible. Both versions are allowed on the same tour.

Photographers and heavy phone users are welcome. I take that into account. I am not a professional photographer, though I have put more than 179,000 + images on Flickr over the years and guests do use that archive to decide what they want to see. What I will not do is sell you a filtered dream of the city. Instagram is not the street. I have written about those tired travel phrases before and I still will not use them - (hidden gems and secret spots) There are good places and there are crowded places. Some of the crowded places are still worth it. That is the honest version.

Safety, without treating you like a child

Hong Kong is one of the easier large cities in the world to move around on your own. Violent crime against visitors is almost non existent. The MTR (Subway) is watched, lit and busy late. I have lived here since 2nd January 1972 and I still walk home at odd hours without a second thought. Women travelling alone have said the same thing to me for 15 years, and they are not being polite. They mean it.

That does not make the city magic. Crowded markets repay ordinary attention to bags. Late bars in Wan Chai and Lan Kwai Fong repay the same common sense you would use in any city. Summer heat knocks people over faster than crime ever will. A Signal 8 typhoon shuts the place and you stay indoors (on average 4 - 5 times a year). None of that is a reason to skip Hong Kong. It is a reason to treat the tour as a city tour, not a fantasy.

On a practical level I collect you at the hotel lobby, the cruise terminal, or arrivals at Hong Kong International Airport. I do not ask a woman, or anyone else, to stand on a pavement holding a sign while they wonder if the right stranger is walking toward them. At the end I take you back. That is my policy, not an extra.

Pace, walking and why I still use public transport

My tours are a hybrid. They are not an 8 hour forced march and they are not a sit-down lecture in a private car. We walk the bits that reward walking. We use the MTR (Subway), buses, the Street Tram and the Star Ferry for the bits that do not. I have never owned or driven a car in Hong Kong. I do not do car tours. If you need a private car because of mobility, luggage off a ship, or a tight airport clock, I will say so and I will point you to friends who do that work very, very well. I will not pretend I can do both jobs at the standard I want.

For a person on their own this format is often kinder than a car. You are not looking at the city through glass. You are in it. You see how people actually move. You cover more ground than you think, because you are not sitting in a line of traffic on Gloucester Road. When a slope or a tired pair of legs asks for a short taxi, we take one. I am not a martyr about it.

The pace of a solo tour is not the same as the pace of a tour for 3 or 4. I need to say that plainly, because it surprises people.

With more people the tour slows down on its own. Someone stops. Someone asks a question. Someone needs a sit. The walking becomes a nice gentle pace without anyone having to negotiate it. With one person the opposite happens. There is no committee. There is no natural brake. A lot of solo guests like to walk faster and cram more in. That is not my imagination. It is what the tour actually does unless I take charge of the speed.

That does not bother me, as a rule. A good solo tour can still cover a lot of ground. We use the MTR (Subway), the Star Ferry, the Street Tram and the odd short taxi, so the walking is in useful stretches rather than one long march. What I cannot do, and have never done, is a marathon at a fast walking pace. If you are a younger man, fit, and your idea of a private tour is to power through the city and tick every site before dusk, I am not the guide. I have referred those bookings in the past when the email said as much, and I will do it again. There are friends of mine for whom that clip is normal. It has never been mine.

If you are travelling alone and you walk at an ordinary city pace, or you are happy for me to set the speed so we can actually look at things, you are in the right place. We will still see a great deal. We will just do it as a tour, not as a race.

Summer, May to September, is the honest hard season. Heat, humidity, rain, the odd typhoon. If you are solo and you feel the heat, we start a little earlier, we sit more, and we do not treat a viewpoint as a test of character. I am over 60. I know the difference between a good walk and a stupid one.

Private Tours for Solo Travellers in Hong Kong 2027


Hiking tours for solo travellers, and why that is not me

Hiking in Hong Kong has got a lot more popular with people travelling alone. Dragon's Back, the high ground above the south side of Hong Kong Island, Lantau Peak, the quieter New Territories paths. A solo guest with a free morning now asks for a trail as often as they ask for Victoria Peak and the Star Ferry. I understand the impulse. I will not call the place small to make the sales line easier. Hong Kong is about 430 square miles. That is a proper chunk of land. Country parks are a large part of it. Getting to them is another matter. On Hong Kong Island you can be on a trail in about an hour from Central. Out in the New Territories, and on Lantau Island, the travelling can eat hours before you take the first step, and hours again on the way back. Small would mean easy. This is not easy. That is why the hiking has to be a planned tour, not a hopeful glance at a map.

I do not do hiking tours. I never have and never will. My work is the city, public transport, conversation, and a pace that belongs to looking at things rather than covering kilometres for their own sake. If that is the tour you want, the right person is my friend Sabrina Christensen of Hong Kong Trails and Tours.

Sabrina is a single guide, same as me. You book her, you get her. She is built for this. Hundreds of serious hikes behind her, including the big names people like to drop, and a great manner with guests who are fit, guests who need the pace slowed, and guests who are on their own and would rather not join a flag walk of 15. She will collect you at the hotel. She can work on foot, on public transport, or with a private car when the trailhead asks for it. Dragon's Back is about 6 hours. A fuller Lantau Island tour, including the Big Buddha and the Tai O Fishing Village if you want that mix, is about 8 hours. City walking is there too if you decide the trail can wait.

Please contact Sabrina directly.

I have written a full post about her work if you want the longer version before you write. The short version is this. If you want Hong Kong explained at city pace, write to me. If you want Hong Kong with a pack and a trail, write to Sabrina.

Victoria Peak, and why you get a choice

Most first-time visitors think the only way up is the Peak Tram both ways and then the paid 428 Sky Terrace in the Peak Tower, because that is where the tram stops. It is not. There are 4 places that come up on my tours, and I now let the guest pick the viewpoint that fits the weather and their fitness.

  • Lugard Road Lookout. Free. The wide panorama on a clear day. It is a 40 minute round trip walk with no shelters. Worth it if the sky is clean and your legs agree. Keep walking past the house at 27 Lugard Road. You will come to an old concrete bench on the left. It is the only bench on that stretch. Do not turn back there. Do not treat the view from the bench as the lookout. Keep walking forward for a couple of minutes. You will know the real view when you see it.

  • Lions Pavilion Lookout. Free. Essentially the same slice of harbour as the 428 Sky Terrace.

  • Peak Galleria roof. Free, quicker, easier.

  • Peak Tower Sky Terrace 428. Paid, about US$10 per adult, crowded, a smaller slice. I have taken fewer than 5 guests there in 15+ years.

Three of the 4 views are free. Two of those free spots are basically the same view as Sky Terrace 428 without the ticket. I love the Peak Tram one way going down, front seats, when the queue is not a waste of the morning. I have been up to Victoria Peak 6,000+ times since 1972. I can live with whichever option you choose.

Private Tours for Solo Travellers in Hong Kong 2027


Solo off a cruise ship

Hong Kong gets a lot of cruise calls. Quite a few people on those ships are travelling on their own, or one half of a couple wants the city while the other stays aboard. Ship-sponsored coach tours are built for volume. They show you buildings from the opposite pavement and they get you back with time to spare. That is their job. A private shore excursion is a different product. You see the city. You use the city. You talk about the city. That is the point of coming ashore.

Hong Kong has 2 large terminals. Ocean Terminal sits in Tsim Sha Tsui, a civilised berth next to Harbour City, and generally takes the smaller ships, roughly 500 to 2,000 passengers. The Kai Tak Cruise Terminal takes the mega ships of 5,000+ and it is not central. Transport from Kai Tak has been a talking point for years. It makes no difference to me which one your ship uses. When you book, tell me the name of the ship so I can confirm the berth. I pick you up at the terminal and I drop you back at the same terminal.

I have done approaching 150 shore excursions. I have never missed getting a guest back to a ship. Neither have my friends who do this work. Cruise lines play the fear factor so that you book their own outing. I build a buffer. I watch the clock. I do not gamble the last hour on one more photograph. No jewellery shops. No microphone. No flag. For a person on their own I would rather do 6 hours or 8 hours than squeeze the city into 4, unless the all-aboard time simply does not allow it.

Solo on a layover at Hong Kong International Airport

Hong Kong International Airport sits on Lantau Island. The official place name is Chek Lap Kok. Almost nobody uses it. The old airport at Kai Tak was a legend and a short name people could remember. This airport is simply Hong Kong International Airport, and that is how I write it.

A lot of my layover guests are on their own. That is a good tour for me. There is no group politics and no one pretending they are not tired. We go at one pace. If you want conversation you will have it, including on the Airport Express Train into town. If you want to look at the water and not talk for 10 minutes or have a nap you can have that too.

Airport pickups with me are a morning job. In practice that means 6am to 8am pickup I have done 6am numerous times. I have never picked up a layover guest at 2pm. If your connection lands in the afternoon, contact me anyway and I will tell you whether the timing still works. At the end I do not leave you on the Airport Express at Hong Kong Station or Kowloon Station and call that a drop off. I come back to Hong Kong International Airport with you and I take you to immigration in the departures hall. The last 20 minutes is when people get flustered. It is part of the tour.

The wait rule is simple. I have your arrival time. Most people come through in 45 to 60 minutes. I wait 1 extra hour on top of that, then I go home. If the flight has arrived, you have 2 hours from landing to message me if there is a problem.

The business trip, the gap between meetings, and the person sitting in the hotel

A lot of people do not come to Hong Kong as tourists at all. They come for work. The calendar is full of rooms in Admiralty, Central, Wan Chai or Tsim Sha Tsui, and then there is a hole. Three hours before the afternoon session. A morning free because the first meeting moved. A last afternoon before the night flight. That hole is a solo tour if you treat it as one, and I will build it around the time you actually have, not around a fantasy 8 hour sweep of the city.

Write to me with the hotel name and the hard edges of the gap. I need the time you can leave the lobby and the time you must be back in a chair. A 3 hour or 4 hour tour is the honest fit for most of those holes. We can do Central and a proper look at Victoria Peak in that window, or the Star Ferry and the Kowloon waterfront if you are already on that side of the harbour. I pick you up at the hotel and I put you back at the hotel. I do not leave you on a pavement in Causeway Bay 20 minutes before your next meeting hoping the Street Tram is kind.

This is also the page for the person who is not in the meeting. Before 2020 a large slice of my solo tours were women whose partners were working. That market thinned when corporate travel changed, but it has not disappeared. If you are in Hong Kong because someone else has a conference, you do not have to spend the morning in a mall. A 4 hour morning or a 6 hour sweep is a better use of the trip than another latte in the lobby.

I am not a shopping guide and I do not do food tours. I will take you somewhere sensible for lunch if the gap allows a sit down meal. The rest of the time we use the city. If your only free stretch is after the conference finishes, the 3 hour night tour from 6.30pm to 9.30pm is built for that. Harbour, streets, then back to the hotel.

Say it is a work trip when you contact me. Say whether you are the person in the meetings or the person waiting for them. That one sentence changes the shape of the hours.

Private Tours for Solo Travellers in Hong Kong 2027


What the hours tend to look like, without a fake sample itinerary

I do not send sample itineraries. I have written a whole post explaining why. The variables are real: 3 to 8 hours, weather, hills, what you have already seen, whether you tire early, whether temples interest you. A pre-written sheet collapses under that. What I can tell you is the sort of tour a person on their own actually enjoys.

A good 6 or 8 hour tour often mixes a proper viewpoint at Victoria Peak, a stretch of Central that still has history on it, the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour, time on the Kowloon side for the Promenade and the Peninsula Hotel, and then either a calmer cultural stop such as Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden, or a livelier Kowloon neighbourhood if the legs are still there. Lunch is a sit-down only if you ask for one. I do not do food tours.

Lantau Island, the Big Buddha and the Tai O Fishing Village is an 8 hour tour, not a half tour bolted onto something else. The logistics are awkward and the blue taxis are limited. If you want that tour, say so when you contact me. Do not try to fold it into a 5 hour city tour. Night tours are 3 hours. They suit guests who have already done a daytime tour and want the harbour and streets after dark. They are not a substitute for a first look at the city.

Prices, cash on the day, no deposit

Prices are the total fee for the group, not a per person fee. For a solo traveller that means you are paying the 1 person rate. They are published in US$ because that is still the main private-tour booking market. I put the Hong Kong dollar beside them here, using 7.80.

  • 3 hours, 1 person: US$340 / about HK$2,652

  • 4 hours, 1 person: US$410 / about HK$3,198

  • 6 hours, 1 person: US$550 / about HK$4,290

  • 8 hours, 1 person: US$690 / about HK$5,382

  • 3 hour night tour, 1 person: US$340 / about HK$2,652

The only valid and up to date price list is on my Prices | Book Now page. Please use that page, not an old table copied from an earlier blog post. A 5th or 6th adult is extra on larger bookings. Maximum 6. There is no price difference between a so called standard tour and a custom tour, because every tour is custom.

I do not take a deposit. You pay on the day, in cash, in US$ or HK$. About 90% of guests pay in US$ cash. Children 17 and under, travelling with a paying adult, are free so Mum and 2 kids 17 and under are basically a solo traveller and priced accordingly.

Public transport on the day is included in the sense that I handle it and I pay my own fares, this covered in great detail on my price page - Meals, drinks, souvenirs, the Peak Tram, the cable car and Lantau blue taxis are at your cost. Carry HK$400 to HK$500 for tickets and a snack.

I am not the cheapest tour company in Hong Kong and I have never been. I am also not an OTA listing like Viator where you find out who the guide is on the morning. You are booking me. That is the product. A private tour for one person will always look expensive next to a US$66 per person group walk. It should. You are not buying a seat. You are buying the hours and the person.

What to write when you contact me

You do not need an essay. Two or 3 sentences help more than a wish list copied from a magazine. Useful detail looks like this:

  • your name. I generally will not respond to a 1 line enquiry with no name and that happens all to often

  • that you are travelling alone, so I price and pace it correctly

  • hotel name, or ship name and terminal, or flight times for a layover

  • date and a preferred start time

  • 4, 6 or 8 hours, if you already know

  • anything you have already seen, or definitely want, or definitely do not want

  • whether temples interest you. Plenty of visitors say they want culture and then say no temples. That is fine. Say it.

  • any mobility notes, heat concerns, or a subject you care about, including Jewish heritage if that is the point of the tour

  • how you like to walk. Ordinary city pace is perfect. If you are young, very fit and want to cover the city at speed, say that too. I would rather send you to the right person than pretend I am that person

  • if it is a work trip, say whether you are the person in the meetings or the person waiting for them, and the time you must be back

I do not take phone calls and I do not do video calls. Everything in writing, since 2010. WhatsApp to +852 65325013 or email is the way. I reply within 24 hours. Go to my Prices | Book Now page for the live price grid, the booking form and the calendar that shows my availability. The calendar is a guide only. You cannot click it to book.

Private Tours for Solo Travellers in Hong Kong 2027


Two insider tips I still give every solo guest

Insider tip 1. If you book a tour on Viator or Tripadvisor you generally have no control over which guide you get. The guide is the tour. Check the actual company website, read the person’s own reviews, and book with the person who will walk with you. I am not listed on those platforms for a reason. The commission is large and the process treats the guide as interchangeable. The guide is not interchangeable. Plenty of companies raise the OTA price simply to cover the OTA commission

Insider tip 2. Public transport is not the cheap option I use because I am mean, personally I have been using public transport daily for over 50 years, I do not and have never owned a car. It is the way Hong Kong actually works. You cover more ground. You stay out of traffic. You see the city residents actually use. Combined with a pace that belongs to one person rather than a committee, it is the most useful format I know for a guest who can still enjoy a city on foot.

What I will not pretend

I will not pretend Hong Kong is flat. I will not pretend summer is pleasant for a long outdoor afternoon. I will not pretend the Peak Tram queue is part of the charm. I will not pretend a 4 hour tour is a full introduction to the city, though I will do 4 hours if that is the time you have. I will not pretend I speak fluent Cantonese after 50+ years. I do not. It has not been a problem on 2,400+ tours. My wife is a phone call away if a sentence ever needs her. I will not pretend I can keep up with a fast walking marathon. If that is the tour you want, I will say so up front and point you to someone who can.

I will not pretend a private tour for one person is a bargain. I will not pretend I can put you in a private car and still be the walking guide I set out to be in 2010. I will not write “hidden gems” or ask you to walk like a local. I live here. You are visiting. That is enough.

Why I think the solo bookings thinned out, and why I still want them

Solo bookings thinned out after the city reopened in 2023, and I am not going to dress that up. Covid reset who came and how they booked. Couples and small family groups came back faster than the single woman on a short hop. Free walks and large paid group tours got better at speaking to people travelling alone. OTAs like Viator made a private tour for one look dear next to a US$66 per person group walk, which it is, if all you compare is the number. Business travel changed, so the trailing spouse tour became rarer. I also let the old page sit there looking dated, which is on me. You cannot complain about a quiet inbox if the public explanation of the work is a leftover from another decade.

There is another reason I should be honest about. A tour with one guest asks more of the conversation. Some guides quietly prefer 2 or 3 people because the chat is easier. I do not mind the one-to-one tour. I love it. There is no group politics. There is no one pretending they are not tired. If I went quiet on the subject, it was neglect of the page, not a change of mind about the guest.

So this is the invitation, stated without the old padding. If you are coming alone in 2027, I would like the work. Hotel, ship or airport. 3 hours or 8. Men as well as women. Over 60 as well as 25. Write to me.

The quality of a private solo tour of Hong Kong depends almost entirely on the person you book. Choose the guide, not the platform. If that person is me, you get me. No Guide Team, no headset, flag or whistle

I do not do Food Tours in Hong Kong but I know people that do!

click on any image to enlarge

The information above can be shown to restaurant managers in Hong Kong if you are intolerant to gluten and nuts,

I do not do food tours as mentioned above, I have very specific reasons and part of it is that I do not speak Cantonese or write Chinese, I am from Yorkshire in England and I lack the language gene and it is not through lack of trying and yes a lot of restaurants do not have English menu’s or staff who speak conversational English.

.. and yet I have eaten at close to 1,400 restaurants in Hong Kong since January 2nd 1972, my wife was born in Hong Kong and we have been together over 40 years and her first language is Cantonese and a lot of her family are Chinese or half Chinese so I have never had much of an issue!

This does not translate to doing food tours though, yes, I could do them, no problem there but they would never ever be as good as the food tours done by my friends (see the 3 links above) most of their awesome guides are locally born Hong Kong Chinese and obviously food culture is part of their DNA, it is impossible for me to compete with that!

So please feel free to contact them for food tours


I do not do Hiking Tours in Hong Kong but I know someone that does!

I do not do Hiking Tours, never have and never will even though I used to go Hiking a lot when I was a lot younger, The Hong Kong Government is promoting hiking tours so I urge you to contact my friend Sabrina at Hong Kong Trails and Tours, she is a long time Hong Kong resident and and a very experienced hiker with close to 700 Hikes in 15+ years under her belt, please click on the link below
