“The look on people's faces when they realize there's no driver — that never gets old. Shenzhen has over 3,000 robotaxis operating daily, more than any other city in the world.”

“We came for the robotaxi but the drone delivery blew our minds. Watching a drone land with our coffee felt like living 10 years in the future.”

Amazing experience, Alan did an amazing job to present me the robotaxi, drone delivery and the tech companies' showrooms. His English is fantastic (not obvious in China!) and he was super patient to explain me everything he has shown me, including answering my numerous questions. Highly recommend touring Shenzhen with Alan!

The entire experience with our guide Adam was fantastic: from the moment of booking we felt very well taken care of. Communication was swift, perfect English, information provided upfront regarding meeting point was clear and Adam was always reachable. He adjusted flexibly to the needs of our family, the tour program was a perfect mix of experiencing, discovering and explaining. Just the right amount of walking, snacks and a balanced blend of experiencing self driving taxis, drones in application and many more technological innovations. Our teen kids liked the tour and the takeaways very much despite their initial reservations, it was neither boring nor overloaded at any moment. We could not have managed to do it on our own, without the necessary apps and accounts. Adam even helped us with our onward logistics, that was really helpful. Absolutely recommendable, many thanks, Adam

We enjoyed our tour with Sean Z. He was easy to talk to and quite informative about the city. It was nice to have someone that could explain things that we were seeing along with the history. The robo taxi drive was incredible and it was quite cool to see our food delivered by drone!

Very chill and relaxed tour at our own pace. Adam was very friendly and spoke both English to me and Mandarin to my wife. 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.
