We visited from Hong Kong for the day, and so having a guided tour seemed like the sensible choice to make the most of our short visit. We took the MTR to Lo Wu. We arrived at immigration to get a visa on arrival (‘port visa’) which took about an hour. It then took a further 30 minutes to fill in the arrival card and clear immigration and customs. Once we had done this we met our guide at a hotel a short walk from the border. Our guide, Lina, was fantastic and I highly recommend her. She spoke to us about what we would like to do with the day and built the visit around us. We went to the Shenzhen Museum first to learn about the history of the local area before and after the mega city started to be built in 1979. Lina told us about the exhibits as we went around the museum. Then we went for traditional Chinese Dim Sum lunch and tried many different dishes. There is something to suit all tastes, meat, fish, vegetables, sweet and sour. Then we went to the tallest building in Shenzhen, up to the 116th floor for amazing views. Finally we went to the Lo Wu indoor market where they have lots of tourist goods like magnets, chequers set, Chinese lanterns, Chinese clothes, fake designer handbags and lots more. We spent most of our time in a traditional Chinese tea shop trying lots of different teas, black, herbal, fruit, oolong and others. It was a real experience that we would not have got if we had just wondered around on our own without Lina as our guide as we would not have known where to go. It also helps having a guide who can translate the Mandarin for you - and she helped my children practise some Mandarin as well. When the tour was over, Lina walked us back to the border so we would not get lost. It’s also helpful because you don’t get approached as much by street vendors when you have a local guide. Overall we felt the trip was good value for money and well worth doing to see multiple sites in one day with a local expert. Being driven around also meant you got to get between places quickly and safely. Highly recommended!

Ms. Teresa, from Sichuan province, is an excellent tour guide. She is fluent in both Mandarin Chinese and English. She is knowledgeable about the historical and cultural background of the places that we visited in Shenzhen.

We had some obstacles getting to Shenzhen. However Sunny and her driver were super accommodating and flexible. Our plans were changing almost hourly and they were able to accommodate us instantly. We have taken many tours via Viator and TripAdvisor and they were great, but being accommodating and flexible was very helpful. Their tour was efficient and we saw a lot of Shenzhen. I highly reccomned them.

Shenzhen is a must-see place to visit. My husband and I had a wonderful time on our short one-day tour. We want to thank Janice, our tour guide, for her warm-hearted and caring hospitality. Thinking of many major attractions we wanted to visit, Janice helped us select four scenic highlights on the west part of Shenzhen. We are very happy with her choices of selections and definitely recommend them to those interested in visiting Shenzhen. Our one day tour in Shenzhen include the Ping’ An International Financial Center, the Window of the World, Lianhua Shan, and the Splendid China Folk Village. They are all amazing places. Thank you again, Janice, for all your help and genuine kindness.
