GetYourGuide / One relevant example
Shenzhen Tech Tour: Driverless car, Robot and Drone delivery
This listing describes a three-hour private experience with an English- or Chinese-speaking guide, robotics, drone delivery and a driverless vehicle. It also lists an optional private-car upgrade.
Check the selected date, operator, meeting point and package inclusions. A private group is not a promise of a corporate office meeting.

The essentials.
Is Futurebound an alternative to GetYourGuide or Klook in Shenzhen?
Yes. GetYourGuide and Klook list activities from individual providers, including private tours. Futurebound offers a directly hosted City Edit or commissioned business programme. It is independent of both platforms.
Do GetYourGuide and Klook offer private Shenzhen tech tours?
Yes. Both examples reviewed on 2 October 2026 describe private experiences. Check each listing’s operator, format, duration, inclusions and cancellation terms.
What does the Futurebound City Edit cost?
The City Edit is US$249 per person for 3 hours, for a private group of 1–8. Hosting and a focused public-city route are included. Transport, food, purchases and admissions are extra. Pay through Stripe for your requested date; the host confirms availability afterwards. If the date cannot be accommodated, choose an alternative or a full refund.
Does a technology tour include a meeting at Tencent or UBTECH?
No office meeting is implied by a showroom or demonstration. City Edit has no company office visit. Premium programmes can request relevant conversations, subject to fit, timing and host approval. No named-company access is guaranteed.
Can I combine a visit with a Hong Kong trip or conference?
Yes. City Edit begins at an agreed Shenzhen meeting point; Hong Kong travel is excluded. Investor and leadership programmes are scoped separately. Event attendance does not include Futurebound.
For the question behind the trip
Coming for a conference?
Make room for your own agenda.
If you are a venture capital, private equity or portfolio leader, begin with what your current meetings do not cover. A separate private programme only makes sense when it answers a real need.
