Trekking the Annapurna Circuit
If you do not speak the local lang, you definitely need one in Shanghai.
For HK. Try www.grayline.com.hk, I have not used them but since i live in HK, they have quite a reliable reputation.
Singapore is pretty small and everyone understands english(almost). I doubt if you need a tour guide.
Hope this bit helps
Good guide for Ho Chi Minh city email

Bruce,
I would say that you would not need a guide (due to language barriers or time constrains) in Shanghai, HK or Singapore, as they are very accesible cities with a lot of people that speak English. In Bangkok it can get a little bit crazy, so if you have only a couple of days, maybe you could use a guide to maximize your stay, although I have gone solo there with no problems.
Good luck,
McH
