Hong Kong Private Tours

If you are looking for information on Tours in Hong Kong then you have come to the right place

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.

I did a blog post about Streets of Hong Kong Private Tours in 2022 and a lot has happened since then so a blog post update was in order!

First contact with Bill was in 2015 when he sent me a message, we are both members of FLICKR a photography site and he mentioned he was interested in being a Private Tour Guide full time to compliment his work as a Professional Photographer

Intrigued, we set up a meeting and the rest as they say is history.

I am a pretty good judge of character and to me Bill was a natural private tour guide and I made it my mission in life to ensure he joined our ranks!

Bill is a long term Hong Kong resident having lived here for over 20 years and one of his great attributes is his interest in what I call historical Hong Kong, he spends a great deal of time reading about the History of Hong Kong even pre - dating 1841 and naturally there are thousands of interesting stories just waiting to be told.

Bill is known for his meticulous research so you can be sure that all the tours he offers will be absolutely fascinating, Bill is a natural storyteller!

Whilst we have many similarities we are in a lot of areas complete opposites, whilst I have always had “a thing” about Hong Kong History I prefer to base my tours around my personal experiences of living in Hong Kong for 52 years since 1972! Bill was a high flying lawyer for decades, I was a low key businessman in Hong Kong and we always laugh when I bring up the subject that we probably crossed paths in the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong in 1972, Bill was a frequent visitor to Hong Kong (his Dad had a business in Hong Kong).

I am a photographer, Bill is a master photographer - I know nothing about the intricacies on the technical side whilst Bill knows everything, I simply bought a very expensive camera that does all the work for me… we both have very distinctive styles and to be fair to me, I grew up here with a Hasselblad camera which was a film camera but I have no patience when it comes to the technical stuff, Bill eats that for breakfast!

Bill is little older than me (5 years) and American and it is our age and experience that sets us apart from most Hong Kong Private Tour Guides, I like to say we are old school and it is our attention to detail that makes us different.

One final point about Bill’s character, in January 2016 I had a severe medical emergency whilst doing 2 tours in one day ( I had heart attacks with an S) and Bill was at the hospital shortly thereafter and we agreed that he would take over my private tours until I was back on my feet, (about one month later) it was I might add a seamless transition and Bill was amazing.

There is still life in us old geezers!

…… and to finish, do yourself a favour and book a tour with Bill, one of his specialties is spending 3 or 4 days with his guests, you will have a fabulous time in Hong Kong, Bill is the consummate professional.
