This is my Hong Kong | Hong Kong Shore Excursions with Jamie
Overview
Make the most of your Cruise Ship Shore Excursion when you visit Hong Kong on your amazing cruise ship, I am an expert in organising Shore Excursions for couples, families and small groups with pick up at the at either the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal or the Ocean Terminal in Hong Kong.
I know the easy option for you is to book a shore excursion with the Cruise Company or a specialist Shore Excursion Company with tours available in 100+ ports or perhaps book a ride on the Big Bus Company Bus but if you want to really learn about what makes Hong Kong tick then book a Private Shore Excursion with Jamie.
Please note I do NOT do car tours | shore excursions in a private car
Tour Length
Generally most shore excursions are touted as a half day (4 hours) or full day (8 hours) tour, I would say that the best tour length would be a 4 hour or 5 hour tour - this to me is a better bet for a Shore Excursion - The choice is yours.
Small Group Sizes
On one of Jamie’s shore excursions you are not on a bus with 15 | 30 | 50 other passengers wearing stickers and following a barely understandable guide holding a flag working to a prepared script - even the lame jokes are scripted.(I am not kidding)
I have done well over 100 shore excursions and generally the group size was 2 - 4 people, in my long experience, the more people in the group the slower the tour goes, please bear this mind.
This is a private tour with no stops at jewellery shops under the pretence of watching jewellery being made and such, we use public transport and walk and you will get a full immersion into what Hong Kong is all about.
My private shore excursions are perfect for those who are in Hong Kong on a cruise ship for 1 - 2 days... oh and I will make sure you do not miss your ship!
Should I worry about missing my ship?
No., absolutely not and I have never had a guest miss their sailing time
The cruise companies would like you to believe that independent tours such as the ones I offer carry this risk, I am always very well aware of your ship’s departure time, and my tours are designed to get you back to the Cruise Terminal with plenty of time to spare.
Cost Effectiveness, Tour Quality and Value for Money
Cruise Lines often charge a huge premium for their shore excursions and passengers may find better deals and more value for money with independent companies such as myself.
I have researched extensively over the years the shore excursion market in Hong Kong and pretty much all the cruise lines offer the same sort of tours with 15 - 50 people crammed onto a coach and the tour operator they use is generally the one that offers the lowest price to the Cruise Company.
In my experience the TOUR QUALITY offered by these coach tour companies are very poor, it is the guide that makes the tour and we have many guides in Hong Kong that have no business doing tours, I am English, I have lived in Hong Kong for 53 years and I pioneered the Private Tour Industry in Hong Kong in late 2010.
I have completed well over 2,300 tours and bear in mind I did not do a single tour for 3 years from 2020 - 2023 as Hong Kong was closed to tourists.
A Personalized and Diverse Shore Excursion
Mine are private tours and every time I do a tour I have no fixed plan or itinerary, I like to spend 5 - 10 minutes discussing with you, what YOU would like to see within the allotted time frame of the tour… in general my guests leave it to me
Small Group Sizes
As mentioned, in general for shore excursions I have 2 - 4 guests but have done tours with as many as 8 guests, it is simply a fact that the bigger the group the slower the tour, please do bear this in mind.
Expert Local Private Tour Guide
When you book a Shore Excursion with Jamie you get me, I do NOT employ any other guides. If I am not available or you wish to do your shore excursion in a private car then I will introduce you to my friends, we are all part of a tight knit group of the BEST private tour companies in Hong Kong with shared aims and a passion for providing the very best experiences.
