I’m Tony - after living in the UK for 11 years and working at HSBC UK, I returned to my hometown Shenzhen in 2019. I’ve also travelled to over 60 countries, which helps me understand what foreign visitors need from a city tour.
Shenzhen is an exciting, fast-changing city that is often underestimated. I’ve designed this unique one-day route to help you discover its highlights in one efficient, insightful trip - from the old commercial heart of Luohu to the modern CBD, the iconic Ping An Finance Center, scenic Shenzhen Bay, and vibrant Huaqiangbei electronics market.
This is my personal signature route, based on my experience growing up here and my global perspective. My team and I all have international backgrounds, and we do these tours part-time because we love showing visitors our city in an authentic way.
We also offer pick-up/drop-off from Hong Kong (upon request), and can tailor the itinerary if needed.
Contact us anytime - we look forward to helping you explore Shenzhen!

5.00Tony and Maxi are great hosts, knowledgeable, and take exceptional care with their customers. They specially designed the tour for me following a few simple questions. As a local Tony was particularly knowledgeable about Shenzhen, the history of its development and the best places to visit. Tony and Maxi are also just great fun to hang out with. We spent the day touring, chatting and laughing. It was great fun! Thanks to you both. 😊
