Benjamin es un Guia Increible. Me ha mostrado lo mejor de la ciudad. Tiene mucho carisma y muy buen humor. Lo recomiendo muchisimo. La pasaras genial en este tour.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Benjamin is a true gem! Benjamin was an incredible guide kind, patient, and such a gentleman. He treated my daughter and me with so much care, even ordering our DiDi and making sure we were safe getting in and out. He took us to see the drone delivery area, bought us tea and juice, walked us through a beautiful park, and showed us the local beach. He spoke great English, was very knowledgeable, and even helped us avoid overpaying as American tourists. He held our bags, showed us the restrooms, and made everything feel easy and comfortable. We exchanged information, and I truly feel like I now have a guide for life whenever I return to China. I wish we had met him on our first day he’s an absolute sweetheart and a true treasure. Highly recommend!😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wish I could give her 1,000 stars! My daughter and I had the BEST experience on this tour. Our guide was beautiful, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She was punctual, gave us rich history, chose amazing foods (the dumplings were delicious!), and even offered to pay when our WeChat wasn’t working. She went above and beyond — she walked us to our taxi afterward, checked our DiDi app, and made sure we were headed to the right place and got home safely. It felt like exploring Shenzhen with a friend, not a stranger. So refreshing to have an English-speaking guide who helped us understand the city and even gave us tips on places to visit later. We exchanged information, and I truly feel like I’ve gained a friend I’ll come back to see again. My forever guide 😊 Highly recommend! Jan

Great tour, Michelle our guide was excellent, really informative and made the tour interesting. Saw things i would never have found or understood. Thanks again!

Michelle was amazing, we highly recommend her to everyone who wants to discover the beauty of Shenzhen. it was actually a private tour, so it was particularly personal and interesting!

Michelle is very nice; very happy with the explanations, as well she is always taking care of you …. ⭐️

Robert war ein toller Guide! Er war sehr offen und zugänglich und hat mir schon vor unserem Treffen in Shenzhen geholfen alles so einzurichten, dass meine Chinareise ein Erfolg wurde (z.B. vor Reisebeginn Einrichtung von Alipay, WeChat und hat mir per WhatsApp erklärt, wie die Nahverkehrsmittel funktionieren). Bei der Tourenplanung ist er auf meine speziellen Wünsche eingegangen und wir hatten einen schönen und für mich interessanten Tag zusammen! Danke noch einmal dafür!

It was such a delight to have Michelle as my walking guide. She tailored my tour to my interests and gave me an overall experience of the old culture and the futuristic side of Shenzhen. I learnt and saw many interesting things - including how to use Alipay! I very much enjoyed my time walking Shenzhen with Michelle and I would highly recommend.

The tour was great, Yingyu speaks a very good English, and answered all our questions and doubts. She guided us to places that we would never had found by ourselves, explaining us why the city is like it is. We used driverless bus and subway to go to different places, and she even accompanied us in the search of a special book we were looking for. In conclusion, we sincerely recommend her as your gide! Thanks Zheng 🙏🏻🙂

Robert was very welcoming and friendly . He showed us the main sights, and was very helpful when we bought some electronics. The tour was excellent , I would recommend him

Habla muy bien ingles, le pude entender muy bien

Great tour of Shenzhen. Jen was flexible and took us to places we hadn't already checked out since only my friend and I attended. She had answers to most if not all my questions and had plenty of stories and information to talk about. Great tour and I recommend anyone to take it.

This guided tour was truly an excellent experience from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, offering fascinating historical insights and engaging stories that genuinely brought the location to life. Highly recommended!

Sie hat uns super viele Infos gegeben, nicht nur über die Sehenswürdigkeiten sondern auch über das Leben der locals.

Great guide

Jen was absolutely amazing, and completely tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted, and provided us with snacks 😍

The tour was very interesting and showed us places we wouldn’t have found on our own - local temples, narrow city roads, huge local market and a beautiful park with a great vista. Michelle was a very good guide, she answered all of our questions and paced the tour well.

The tour was very interesting and pleasant. Robert Lee, our local guide, took us to very interesting spots. His English is very good, he is very nice and answered all the groups' questions and requests. He was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the tour very much. The other participants, strangers in the morning, became friends by the end of the tour, all exchanging phones and info. It was a great tour.

The tour was at interesting places. We used the metro which was intersting. The guide had a lot of patience and explain places who were curious about and answered questions about the life in Shenzhen.

I joined the GuruWalk tour in Shenzhen and really enjoyed exploring the local fish market—it was a fascinating experience and gave us a unique glimpse into the city’s daily life. We also stopped at a couple of interesting stores along the way, which added some nice variety to the tour. Even though I don’t know Chinese, I could tell that the guide seemed knowledgeable and had the right information. However, since she needed another person to translate into English, a lot of the details and flow were lost during the translation. As a guide, I think it’s important to have stronger direct communication in English so that the experience feels smoother and more engaging. On the positive side, she was on time and easy to find—she even had a sign with my name on it, which I really appreciated. In that aspect, communication was excellent, but it didn’t carry through the whole tour. Another issue was with payment. We were asked for 400 RMB, but GuruWalk states that contributions are optional tips ranging from $10 to $55. It felt like the guide expected the 400 RMB, which was uncomfortable and a bit unfair. In the end, we paid less, but I think that should be clarified better. Overall, the tour had some strong highlights, and I appreciated the effort, but clearer communication and a fairer approach to tips would make the experience much better.

I truly enjoyed the GuruWalk tour through Shenzhen's Futian District. My guide, Robert, gave me a fantastic tour of the city center. Not only does he speak excellent English, making the tour very informative, but he also revealed hidden gems and new perspectives on the city. It was a journey full of discoveries

The guide told me about the features of Shekou district, the construction of houses, and the life of local people. I also tried different types of dishes, such as meatballs, zongzi, and a delicious dessert with fruit and coconut milk. After that, we took the subway to a nearby station, and the guide also shared information about the history of Shenzhen and this area. Thank you for your time.

Yingyu (Jen) was an outstanding guide from start to finish. She was wonderfully communicative even before the tour—checking in to make sure we knew how to get around Shenzhen and offering helpful tips and recommendations both before and after our day together. It turned out that my family were the only ones on the tour that day, and Jen couldn’t have been more accommodating. She adjusted the pace perfectly for my older family members, always showing patience and answering every question with a smile. Thanks to her connections and planning, we were lucky enough to witness an incredible drone delivery (a must-see!) and even hop on a free trial driverless bus ride—experiences we never would have managed without her. Jen truly lives up to the “Hidden Gems” promise of the tour. We feel like we got to see a side of Shenzhen most visitors miss, and it was all thanks to her knowledge, flexibility, and warm personality. We had a fantastic time and can’t recommend her highly enough!

I had an amazing tour with Michelle! She shared fascinating insights about Shenzhen and really brought the city to life. As Shenzhen isn’t a typical tourist city, having a local like Michelle made all the difference. I can highly recommend her tour!

Michelle is proud of her town and delights in showing it to visitors. The tour covers a lot of ground and uses taxis and shuttles to cover the highlights of the city. A great way to orientate yourself in this fascinating modern city.
