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.
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.
