Regarding the "Wild China" recommendation by Jamoldo, would you have a similar recommendation in Hong Kong?
IMO there's even less reason to hire a guide in Hong Kong. Subways and taxis work very well, everything seems to be signposted in English, and many people speak English (although this seems to be less true than before than handover). Museums seem to all have English labels for the details of exhibits as well as general information.
