Excursion only if you have time to waste

Eye-catching title but ultimately uninteresting and especially poorly organized excursion I appreciated the kindness of my guide but she didn’t know much

This has been an amazing first day in China for me. I booked this tour as I had a layover in Hong Kong. And, I wanted to experience being in Mainland China. We got to experience the process of crossing the border. And, it’s nice to ride the bullet train as well. My tour guide Susan showed me several places in Shenzhen. She’s friendly and gave me a lot of information about the city. We had a dim sum lunch first, which is delicious. After that, we went to different places in the city with awesome views and showed how nice Shenzhen it. At the end we watched a performance show in the Folk Village as well. It has been really an awesome day.

Great tour of the cultural and history of Shenzhen

A full day with hotel pickup. Susan our guide did a fantastic job of getting us thru immigration from Hong Kong into China. Once in ShenZhen she was very knowledgeable and informative of the city and it's history. Highly recommend Susan. She was very flexible and accommodating to our pace and interests. The information of the excursion was not complete in describing the pickup and transport method. It did not explain that we would be taking a train to and from. All good it worked out great much faster by bullet train than what we were expecting by car.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had a great full-day experience and that Susan made the journey smooth, especially with immigration support and her knowledge of Shenzhen’s history. It’s also great to know she was flexible and attentive to your pace and interests. We appreciate your comment regarding the transport details. We understand the importance of clear pre-tour information and will work on improving our descriptions to better explain the train transfer arrangement in advance. We’re glad the bullet train experience turned out to be a pleasant surprise, and we hope to welcome you again on another tour soon!

The organization and...

The organization and communications were terrible. I was given different times for pick up and finally was picked up 2.5 hors after the original time. Our tour guide was great and lunch was delicious. I wish I’d gone with a better organized company. People should be aware that the travel to and from Shenzhen requires a lot of showing passports, fingerprinting and photos. The tour company leaves you, with a train ticket, at the station in Shenzhen.

Operator response

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Becky Chan provided such helpful, upbeat, and attentive service, including assisting guests beyond the tour. We’re sorry to hear the lunch did not meet your expectations. The meal is a set local-style menu designed to reflect traditional Hong Kong cuisine, though we understand preferences and value perceptions may vary. Your comments on quality and pricing have been shared with our team for review and improvement. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again for a more satisfying experience in the future.

Tolle Reiseleiterin

Joyce was a great tour guide who gave us a wonderful insight into Chinese culture and the city of Shenzhen. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful park, the coffee delivered by drone (!) and the delicious traditional lunch in a Chinese restaurant. Joyce took our personal wishes into account when planning the day.
