Free walking tours in Shenzhen

We had a private tour just for the two of us, which made it incredibly personalised and flexible. Our guide adjusted the itinerary to our needs, took us to Shenzhen Bay Park and the most extraordinary bookstore I have ever seen, and engaged us in fascinating conversations about history, politics and culture that made the city come alive. Highly recommended.

Great tour, very professional, helpful and adaptable.

Many tours are just for one person or a couple or family so very personal service

Expect a very small group. Lan makes it a very personal experience

Lan is a friendly great guide! She took me to see drone delivery in action and arrange a pony taxi ride, both genuine highlights

Lan is an incredible guide, very patient, kind and knowledgeable. She is always ready to help and took us to enjoy some wonderful experiences. Don’t hesitate to make this tour with Lan.

Crystal is an great guy, very enjoyable to talk to him. He took me around the central of Shenzhen and suprisingly after a walk with him, I can take my manager around also. He showed me cool places. We walk up to the mountain and had an beautiful overview of Shenzhen. And he took good pictures too. Bonus he is also handsome and caring.

It was a great tour with knowledge on the history of Shenzhen shared. Benjamin patiently answered my questions about the culture well.

The walking tour offers what we look for in a high-tech city: a driverless taxi, a drone-delivered coffee and a robot-prepared ice cream. Though the weather was a bit humid this morning, Lan has made the tour very interesting. It was better than what we had expected. She has good local knowledge. She has shown us the locations for the gadgets we intended to purchase. The walking tour is highly recommend

Lan was such a great guide! She helped us book the drone delivery and driverless robot taxis which we absolutely wanted to experience on our trip to shenzhen. She was very patient with and helped us take all the photos we wanted and answered our questions. We’re really glad we booked her as we would probably not have had the same experience without her. Highly recommend!

I am rating Lan’s tour as a real winner above most others for a number of reasons: (1) Lan’s English is really excellent, she can explain things and talk super fluently (2) she has worked in international companies in product development and design so can talk about tech in a way that I found really interesting (3) she is super organised and aware of how to manage a tour. 5 stars for Lan which is important as the competition is quite variable so she is a great trustworthy option!

Muchas gracias por acercarnos tu cultura y los avances tecnológicos del lugar. Fue un placer

Michelle is an wonderful guide, she speaks very well english ( it's rare in China) and the tour was 5 stars with a little of all * History, geography, culture and modernity... I will recomend very much this tour in Shenzhen!

Benjamin was really a beautiful surprise for us! We had just an half a day in Shenzen and his journey allow has to see and experience shenzen in the most beautiful way as possible! Definitely suggested!

Very knowledgeable and friendly A very good experience

Hi wir sind Manuel und Yasmin aus Deutschland und haben an der free Walkingtour mit Michelle teilgenommen. Die Tour war super kurzweilig und gut organisiert. Der Austausch mit Michelle war qualitativ sehr gut und sehr informativ. Ihr englisch ist sehr gut, sodass einem wertvollem Informationsaustausch nichts im Wege steht. Was koennte aus unserer Sicht noch besser sein: - Noch einen Tick besser organisiert (Transfer/ Transport wurden von manchen Teilnehmern uebernommen). Wir haetten gerne noch die Techtour mit Michelle gemacht, welche von ihr ebenfalls angeboten wird.

Great tour!!!Well mix of culture and tech.Benjamin is very informative.I enjoyed the tour so much.Who could resist to this fascinating tour!

Did the Discover Shenzhen in 3 Hours tour with Jen and it was one of the most insightful ways to understand the city in a short time. Jen brings a very personal touch to the experience. Being born and raised in Shenzhen, she shares stories and perspectives you simply wouldn’t get otherwise. The tour feels relaxed and well-paced, covering different sides of the city without feeling rushed. Walking through areas like Luohu District and Futian District really highlights the contrast between traditional and modern Shenzhen, and Jen explains this transition in a very engaging and easy-to-follow way. One of the coolest parts was experiencing the driverless bus, which added a unique, futuristic element to the tour and made it even more memorable. Overall, Jen made the tour feel authentic, informative, and enjoyable throughout. It’s a great option if you want a meaningful introduction to Shenzhen beyond just the usual sightseeing.

Did the Shenzhen Tech Trip covering Shenzhen Talent Park, Gangxia North Station, and Huaqiangbei Electronics Market and it turned out to be one of the most unique experiences in Shenzhen. What really made the tour stand out was our guide Lan. She was extremely well-organized, clear with instructions, and made sure everything ran smoothly from one stop to the next. More than that, she explained the concepts behind what we were seeing in a very simple and engaging way, which made the experience much more meaningful. At Shenzhen Talent Park, the drone delivery experience was honestly fascinating — ordering a drink and watching it arrive from the sky feels like stepping into the future. Lan guided us through the process seamlessly and made sure everyone could experience it. The self-driving taxi element was also very interesting to see up close. Gangxia North Station was another highlight, and Lan pointed out details that you would otherwise miss. It really does feel like a futuristic space. Huaqiangbei was intense but exciting, and having Lan there helped navigate the chaos. She gave useful tips on where to go, what to look for, and how the market actually works. Overall, Lan made the entire tour smooth, informative, and genuinely fun. If you want to explore Shenzhen’s tech side without feeling lost, this tour with her is a great choice.

One of the greatest experiences of our entire trip to China. Lan is incredibly knowledgeable, and the tour was extremely well-organized and fully adapted to our preferences. Everything went perfectly! We couldn't have asked for more. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

We were so lucky to have a private tour. Michelle explained and showed us everything so engagingly, without rushing and at a comfortable pace. We really enjoyed the tour!

Great technology-focused tour. We experienced drone delivery, rode a robot taxi, and visited an innovation marketplace. The guide was helpful, and the overall experience was smooth. Highly recommended.

Jen is an exceptional guide who made my Shenzhen trip seamless and memorable. Her proactive communication before the tour was impressive, ensuring the meetup time and location were perfectly understood. Once we met, her vast knowledge and articulate speaking style made for a truly informative experience. She was also incredibly helpful in navigating local apps and transportation, making the city feel easy to explore. Highly recommended for her professionalism and clear, engaging delivery.

Me encantó el tour, completo y entretenido. Fue un día muy lluvioso y Michelle nos llevó a lugares bajo techo muy interesantes. Aprecio su capacidad para reponerse ante el clima

Nuestra experiencia con Dan ha sido maravillosa. Estábamos solos mi marido y yo, así q he ha sido como un tour privado. Hemos ido a nuestro ritmo tranquilamente, nos hemos entendido, perfectamente , Dan habla muy bien inglés. Nos ha encantado todo lo que hemos visitado y sus explicaciones. También nos ha dado buenos consejos sobre donde comer, como movernos y que más visitar en Shenzhen. Un 10
