Had a good time looking at the tech market and trying the delivery drones and self-driving car. Our guide Adam was enthusiastic and let us walk around and cycle at our own pace. Overall a fun experience!
We had a great day with Adam, despite the weather being very wet. Adam adapted to the conditions throughout the day and "went the extra mile", to give us most of the experiences which we had hoped for (some being unfortunately affected by the weather). As an example, he helped us with meals, including one before we boarded the train back to Hong Kong as it had got late in the evening before we finished the tour. We recommend him and his company highly. Thank-you Adam! Graham and Keren (New Zealand)
Dear Graham and Keren, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. It was an honour to host you both in Shenzhen, and I'm delighted to hear that you felt well taken care of despite the challenging weather conditions. Adapting the itinerary on the fly is all part of the experience, and I'm grateful for your patience and good spirits throughout the day. I'm so glad we could still deliver most of the highlights you were looking forward to. Ensuring you had a comfortable meal before your evening train was simply good hospitality—I'm happy it made a difference to your experience. Your strong recommendation means a great deal to us, and we hope to welcome you back to explore even more of China's tech scene when the sun is shining! With sincere thanks, Adam
If you’re on a tight schedule in HK and you want to do a Shenzhen tech tour in a day, this a great way to do it. There’s lots of flexibility in the tour and you can basically see as much techi stuff as you wish. We finished the day off with really enjoyable coastal bike ride. Shout out to Adam for making the border crossing easy and long day very memorable.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that our Shenzhen tech tour worked well for you even with a tight schedule from Hong Kong. Flexibility is key, and it's great that you got to see as much tech as you wanted while still enjoying a relaxing coastal bike ride at the end of the day. A big shout out to Adam for making the border crossing smooth and the long day memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again for even more tech discoveries in the future!
Very chill and relaxed tour at our own pace. Adam was very friendly and spoke both English to my husband and Mandarin to me. His English was excellent as he told us he has studied at university in the UK. A fun and interesting way to spend a few hours - something a bit different to the normal tourist stuff we've done before. Definitely recommend.
Great day out spent with my tour guide Adam, and saw some mind blowing technology.

Adam turned a simple tech tour into a real adventure — from futuristic gadgets to hidden local spots and great stories about the city. Thanks for the energy, the laughs, and for making me feel like I was exploring Shenzhen with an old friend instead of a guide. If anyone is visiting Shenzhen and wants to see the real modern China beyond the usual tourist spots, I can highly recommend touring with Adam! 🚀🇨🇳
