Hong Kong Greeters

Hong Kong Greeters is a Hong Kong tour company that runs its own private tours with its own guides, plus a calendar of small group tours built around local festivals. The homepage says it has "delighted and surprised visitors with our unique, fully customized experiences" since 2012, and it describes its guides as "The Friendliest Tour Guides in Town," English-speaking, multilingual and fully licensed. The footer gives the company as Hong Kong Greeters Ltd. with Travel Agents Licence no. 354203. The tour search filters by Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, Lantau Island and Macau, which together mark out where the tours run. Prices are shown in Hong Kong dollars.

How It Works

The homepage promises a private tour that is "educational, entertaining, and downright FUN" and says a private booking brings "skip-the-line privileges" at popular attractions and "exclusive insider access to local cultural festivals and one-off events," without naming which attractions or events. Children under 16 go free, according to the homepage, which calls the tours kid friendly. A testimonial on the homepage, the company's selection, describes a 6-hour private tour with a guide named Amy for a family with two young children. The blog is written partly by a guide named Stephen, who introduces himself as half English, half Chinese, and covers cruise layover itineraries for the city and Lantau Island.

The site does not state which languages beyond English the guides speak, what each price includes (transport, food, entry fees), or whether the vehicles suit travelers with limited mobility.

Booking and Contact

Tours are booked through a booking form on the site, and the company can be reached on +852 2980 4628 or at info@hkgreeters.com. The menu also offers gift cards, quests, FAQs and terms. The "+" after most prices marks them as starting prices, and the site does not explain how the final figure rises with group size or options. The tour pages do not set out deposits, payment methods or cancellation windows, and the menu links to a separate terms page for those.

What the Site Leaves Open, and Who It Suits

The homepage says the company's reputation rests on reviews on Tripadvisor, Viator and Tours by Locals, but it does not publish review counts or ratings of its own. Anyone planning around a festival tour should check the dates, since some listings carry dates from earlier seasons, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival Food Tour for 21st and 28th September 2025.

Hong Kong Greeters suits families, couples and small groups who want a private guide for a day in the city, on Lantau or in Macau, and cruise passengers with a day in port. Its festival and neighborhood group tours are a good fit for travelers who want to see a local tradition up close with a small group. Travelers who need the cancellation terms before booking should read the terms page or ask first.
