Shenzhen Greeters
Free Walk with a Local
Discover Shenzhen through a free walk with a Local
Shenzhen is a city full of ideas and can be a new urban journey for every wanderer. With its huge modern skyscrapers, but much more to experience, travelers can embark on a journey to feel the true pulse of the city. With passion, the volunteers of Shenzhen Greeters offer authentic city tours to explore the city. From the bustling streets to the quiet green parks, they can show you the true face of the city, visiting the beautiful Shenzhen Bay Park, places with varied landscapes, or interesting and distinctive local art and sculptures along the way.
Shenzhen Greeters let travelers experience the city’s lifestyle beyond the sights you know from the guidebooks.

Remember: A Greet means meeting a local resident to walk around town with you as new friends. The first step will be to talk to the Greeter about the details of your personalized tour. It's not about taking part in a standardized tour, but about exploring the city with an expert volunteer .
Maximum six people!
Our core value #2 reads "Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of up to six people."
The reason is that each Greet should be an opportunity to talk to each other and that seems impossible in bigger groups.
Also important: we do not mingle people from different requests but serve only you (and your friends).
Meet a local volunteer
Our core value #1 reads "Greeters are volunteers, a friendly face for those visiting a city."
It's true: Our Greeters love their city or town and they are proud to share this with guests.
How could you better discover the most interesting spots of a place?
Free service, no tipping
Our core value #3 reads "Meeting a Greeter is free of charge."
We do not follow a "give what you think is ok (but please give)" strategy. Greeters honestly do not like any tipping because what they give comes from their heart not because of any tipping expectation.
If you would like to support the Greeters as a whole you are welcome to donate to the International Greeter Association here.
