Highlights
  • Hong Kong - As keen explorers ourselves we know that it is often difficult to know what to see and do, especially in cities like Hong Kong where there are endless possibilities. Take a private customised walking tour and we will put an itinerary together that ensures you see the things that will interest you the most and at a pace that suits you.

Our half-day private custom tour of Hong Kong lasts 5 hours. You can start your tour at any time from 8 am to 6 pm allowing you to book a day tour or a night tour. We will design a bespoke itinerary, based on your preferences, that ensures that you see the things that will interest you the most.

We can combine some of the must see’s like Victoria Peak and riding the Star Ferry with something a little more off the beaten track to ensure that you see Hong Kong for what it really is; a city of contrasts where the metropolis sits side by side with national parkland, where the super-wealthy walk shoulder to shoulder with people living in poverty, it is a city where east truly does meet west like in no other.

If you are a foodie but do not want to do our full food tour we can combine foodie elements into your tour, ensuring that you still get a wonderful mouthwatering taste of Hong Kong. If you would like to pick up some souvenirs en route we can show you our favourite markets. Or perhaps you have something specific which you would like to buy, let us know and we will make sure that you do not leave Hong Kong without it. Perhaps you are a budding photographer and would like to visit the most photogenic locations, we can do that too, just let us know!

Excellent experience! - Mel was terrific. A very nice guy and very knowledgeable. He took us to the Hong Kong behind the tourist spots to give us a flavor of the people and the vitality of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend both Hello Hong Kong and Mel. Also took us to a great lunch which we would have never found on our own.

10 star - Sinclair chose being a full-time tour guide as a career becuase he loves it. And wow does it show! He sized up my interests and personality very quickly and geared the entire day to making sure I got everything I could have ever wanted out of the experience. He took me to off-the-beaten path places that he knew I'd like, and he took care to see that I was comfortable and happy throughout. I came away feeling the same love of Hong Kong that he had imparted to me. Thank you Sinclair!

Spectacular - Getting a close up and personal walking tour in Aberdeen was an area we would never discovered on our own. The ride up Victoria Peak and Temple on the Chinese new year were highlights but most of all — Sinclair’s endless stories and advice shaped our entire HK days. Thank you Sinclair!

Great tour with a great guide - Loved our guide Sinclair. We asked him to take us to lunch at a local dim sum restaurant and he totally delivered. He spoke excellent English and was a knowledgeable guide who took many pictures of us.

Best tour of Hong Kong - This trip was amazing. We saw things that we could not see on a regular tour. Our guide, Sinclair, was helpful and full of information you can’t get from a guide book. He was like spending the day with family! Highly recommend!

Excellent tour - Fantastic tour with Mel the guide - started with dim sum, then up the Peak for amazing views, down by cable car, a trip to the colonial jail, street markets, egg tarts and a temple! All fitted into four hours. Very well organized and my kids & I loved it, only wish we had more time in the city and could have done a longer tour.

Great private tour with Sinclair - We did a private walking tour with Sinclair for half a day, which was great value for all that we did. He had read all our notes before starting the tour so had a clear idea of what we wanted to do and took us to really interesting places on both sides of the harbour. He was very informative and had answers to all our questions. He was also very helpful in giving us advice about the rest of our trip, like how to book certain attractions and how to travel there. We took his advice for everything and it all paid off.
