Stress free way to tour a city with the complication of a border to crossing. Our guide Janten was knowledgeable and easy to understand. The day was a perfect mix of history, architecture and shopping. Highly recommended .
Excellent tour round Shenzhen. Saw lots of different sites from electronics stores, old traditional towns and temples, and markets where you can buy just about anything. Guide was great and really helpful with the visas and contacted us with details of the meeting point. Lovely meal at the restaurant and a great experience
A jam packed day of awesome experiences with Nelson who really knows his stuff. Also with an excellent driver in China. Amazing lunch that means we have tried authentic Chinese food that was so delicious it makes other food pale in comparison! We are so glad that we took this tour as we would have not known what to do, Nelson has planned the perfect day for tourists.
It is quite a long and exhausting day. Very enjoyable to see everything. Did in excess of 23000 steps on the day. Guide tended to talk to the front and not to all of us.
A great tour that was very extensive. Our guide Nelson was very helpful and informative. We had a lovely lunch along the way as well.
Really excellent tour for everyone, from history to new vibrant city areas. Nelson was really great guide and tentative to everyone in the group.
Nelson was excellent from meeting us at west kowloon station and assisting us through the immigration / customs process for leaving hong kong and entering china. We had a great day, saw lots of sites. Of particular interest was the artists village. Lunch was lovely. Our driver Mr Pan was great, always waiting for us the the exits to each location. The electronics place had very good prices. Would definitely recommend,
Be prepared to go through several immigration sites from Hong Kong into China… Once through it’s a fantastic experience… I believe make sure you have an English speaking guide as you will see places you wouldn’t normally see.
I am sure there are intrepid travellers who could make this trip on their own... personally, I would counsel caution unless you have done it before. This is where the wonderful Nelson came in, and was worth every penny paid for his services. He started a few days before guiding us via WhatsApp message on filling in the right form in the right way to get our visa exemptions. He sent us a little picture of where to meet and what he looked like. Trust me, West Kowloon station is not for the faint-hearted, so that was invaluable. TIP - If travelling by taxi, you want the international departure station. Loved every minute of the trip from the ultra ultra modern exhibition centre to the more traditional parts of the town. The lunch was amazing...so much food
Nelson, our tour guide, was great and kept us informed at all times. Our van driver was wonderful. The whole experience was perfect for us. Thank you!!
