Hong Kong + Shenzhen + Macau Cross-City Day Tour
Cross-city private tour — a permitted cross-border car and driver-guide for an itinerary covering Hong Kong, Shenzhen or Macau. Packages start from HKD 2,800 / 8h. The written confirmation identifies the route, tolls, checkpoint plan, insurance and any expected vehicle changes; on-site immigration and customs instructions always take priority.
What other local tour drivers can't do: pick you up at your HK Island hotel, lunch in Shenzhen, sunset in Macau — with any vehicle changes confirmed in advance.

FAQ
Is cross-city much more expensive than single-city?
HKD 400–800 more, driven by HKZMB bridge toll (HKD 150) + Shenzhen Bay / Huanggang fees + cross-border insurance + cross-border driver licensing. But it's 30–50% cheaper than booking two or three separate single-city cars, and saves 1–3 hours of car-swap time.
Do passengers stay in the car at borders?
This cannot be guaranteed. The procedure depends on the checkpoint, direction, vehicle permit, passenger documents and instructions from officers on duty. Passengers or luggage may be required to leave the vehicle for inspection.
How much driving in a 12h three-city loop?
Total driving ~4.5h (HK→SZ 1h + SZ→Macau 2.5h + Macau→HK 1h via bridge), borders ~1h, sightseeing/meals 6.5h. We recommend 07:30 start, 20:00 finish.
Documents required for the Hong Kong side?
For Hong Kong residents going to mainland: Home Return Permit + HK ID. For mainland citizens going to HK: HK&Macau entry permit. For foreign passport holders: passport + valid HK / mainland / Macau visas as required.
Can every vehicle use the HKZMB route?
No. The assigned vehicle must hold the appropriate permit and the route must suit the itinerary. Dispatch confirms the vehicle and planned crossing before departure.
Can the route change mid-tour?
Yes. We bill hourly per package — adding stops within the three-city coverage is free. Extending beyond contracted hours is HKD 350–400/h.
VAT invoice for business travel?
Yes — 6% Chinese VAT invoice available for cross-city packages.
2-day continuous package?
From HKD 5,800 / 24h including driver overnight (hotel or return to base, customer choice). About HKD 1,000 cheaper than two separate single-day bookings.
When is cross-city better than flights / high-speed rail?
- ① 3+ travelers: HKD 2,800 / 8h ÷ 4 = HKD 700/pax, cheaper than flights + transfers
- ② Heavy luggage or elderly / children: no security / rail baggage handling
- ③ Multi-stop itineraries: rail and flights only serve fixed terminals
- ④ Business privacy and dignity: vastly better than public transport
