Shenzhen Self-Guided Tour: Private Driver, Your Itinerary

Your driver stays with the car while you set the pace at each stop.

A self-guided tour of Shenzhen with a private driver and air-conditioned vehicle for 6 to 8 hours — you pick which attractions to visit (Splendid China Folk Village, Window of the World, shopping districts) and the driver takes you there and waits. Hotel or railway station pickup is included, and an English-speaking assistant is available by phone if you need help during the day.

The Experience

The driver picks you up at your Shenzhen hotel, the railway station, or the border crossing from Hong Kong or Macao at the time you choose. Once you're in the air-conditioned vehicle, the day is yours to shape. You decide whether to spend time at Splendid China Folk Village exploring replicas of Chinese landmarks and folk culture at your own pace, or head to Window of the World to see sculptures and monuments from around the globe — the Pyramid, the Eiffel Tower, and others. The driver takes you there, parks, and waits while you walk around.

If shopping fits your plans, the driver can take you to Luohu Commercial City or the pedestrian shopping street on Dongmen Road, where you'll find garments, watches, purses and accessories. The driver speaks basic English but knows the city well; if you need help communicating or have questions during the day, an English-speaking assistant is available over the phone. After your visits, you get dropped off at your hotel or another downtown location you request.

The service runs for 6 to 8 hours. If you want to stay longer, additional hours are charged at USD 15 per hour. Note that this service operates only within Shenzhen — hotel pickups in the Hong Kong area are not included, though the driver can arrange airport transfers in Shenzhen for an extra fee.

Top questions

Can the driver take me from Hong Kong to Shenzhen?

The service operates only within Shenzhen, so the driver cannot pick you up from Hong Kong hotels or cross the border to collect you there. You'll need to arrange your own transport to Shenzhen first, then book pickup at your Shenzhen hotel, the railway station, or the border crossing once you arrive.

What attractions can I visit on this tour?

You choose your stops. Popular options include Splendid China Folk Village, where you explore miniature replicas of Chinese landmarks and folk culture; Window of the World, featuring sculptures and monuments from other countries; and shopping districts like Luohu Commercial City or Dongmen Road's pedestrian street, which sell garments, watches, purses and accessories.

How long does the driver wait while I'm visiting a place?

The driver waits for you at each stop while you explore at your own pace. The total service time is 6 to 8 hours, so you can spend as much or as little time as you want at each attraction within that window.

What if I need help communicating with the driver?

The driver speaks basic English and is familiar with the main attractions in Shenzhen. If you need more support, an English-speaking assistant is available by phone during the tour to help with directions, questions or communication.

Can I extend the tour if I want more time?

Yes. The standard service is 6 to 8 hours, but you can add extra hours at USD 15 per hour if you want to visit more places or spend longer at any stop.

What's included in the price?

The service includes the professional driver for up to 8 hours, private door-to-door transfer from your Shenzhen hotel or arrival point, and an air-conditioned vehicle. Entrance fees to attractions and meals are not included.
