Hong Kong sits right on the border with Shenzhen, so it pairs naturally with a sourcing day across the line in the Pearl River Delta. See the harbour and the Peak, then put the same interpreter to work on factory visits in Shenzhen the next day.

FAQ

Hong Kong Tour Guide for a Private Day: your questions.

How much does a private tour guide cost in Hong Kong?
A private guide in Hong Kong starts around from $400 for a full day and from $250 for a half day, for your whole group, not per person. Hong Kong is a pricier guiding market than the mainland, and a private car adds $100–$200. Tickets and meals are separate, and every day is custom-quoted within 12 hours.
Is the price per person or for the whole group?
For the whole group. One guide and the day rate cover everyone, whether you are two people or six, so the cost per head drops as the group grows. Only a private car, if you add one, scales with the size of the group. Many online listings quote per person, which is why a private group rate often works out cheaper.
What is included in the tour guide fee?
The fee covers the guide's time for the day and travel within the city. Entrance tickets, meals and any out-of-city car or driver are billed separately, so you only pay for what your plan needs. You will see the full breakdown in the written quote before anything is booked.
Can I combine Hong Kong with sourcing in Shenzhen?
Yes, that's the point. Hong Kong borders Shenzhen, so a Hong Kong day pairs with cross-border factory visits and sourcing meetings across the line, where I work as your Shenzhen interpreter. I cover both sides.
When is the best time to visit Hong Kong?
Spring and winter. Summers are hot and humid. A half-day city tour covers the Peak, the harbour and Lantau if you're tight on time.
Do I need a separate visa for Hong Kong?
Usually not, and it's separate from the mainland. Hong Kong runs its own immigration, and most nationalities enter visa-free for a set period. The catch is that crossing into Shenzhen needs a Chinese visa, so plan the mainland side before you travel.
How do I get around Hong Kong?
The MTR is fast, cheap and entirely in English; grab an Octopus card and it covers the metro, buses, trams and the Star Ferry. Taxis are easy too. It's one of the simplest cities in Asia to navigate on your own.
What should I eat in Hong Kong?
Dim sum and a cha chaan teng breakfast are the essentials, with roast goose and wonton noodles close behind. Hong Kong packs world-class Cantonese cooking and street food into a small space; I'll point you past the tourist strips.
In Shenzhen for business?

Book a Shenzhen interpreter for the meetings.

The tour is the easy part. If you're sourcing, negotiating or visiting a factory in Shenzhen, the same person can run your meetings: published rates, written quote in 12 hours.
