The city of tomorrow
Electronics markets, robots, drones and the skyline of China’s technology capital.
Shenzhen private guide
A private guide in Shenzhen who actually lives here
Spend a full day in China’s tech capital with a local English-speaking host. A flexible day built for your private group, from €220.
Private groupLocal knowledgeFlexible day
Shenzhen is cashless, fast and almost entirely in Chinese. I plan the day around your interests, guide and translate in person, help with local apps and keep the route practical.
This is one host and your small private group — not a fixed coach route. Choose tech and markets, food and neighbourhoods, coast and parks, or mix all three. Get a feel for Shenzhen’s robots, drones and EVs, or see where to stay and a 3-day Shenzhen plan for the days you explore on your own.
Who this is for: couples, families and private groups of up to four who want local context and
a flexible alternative to a large group tour.

Good to know
Shenzhen private guide — FAQ
What does the €220 day rate cover?
It covers preparation and a full day of personal guiding for one private group of up to four people. Meals, tickets, transport and other third-party costs are paid directly by the client.
How do I get to Shenzhen?
Most visitors arrive from Hong Kong by high-speed rail or a land checkpoint, or fly into Shenzhen Bao’an airport. I help identify the practical meeting point for your confirmed route.
Do I need a visa for Shenzhen?
It depends on nationality, purpose and current rules. I help identify the official requirement, but each traveller is responsible for valid documents and eligibility.
How big can the group be?
The published day rate covers a private group of up to four people. Ask for an individual quote for a larger family or group.
What if it rains?
We adjust the plan to Shenzhen’s museums, markets, design districts, malls and cafés so the day still works.

Start with the Shenzhen travel guide, get an individual China itinerary, or see Canton Fair and sourcing support.
