Hi this is Chen! It’s always more than the sceneries. Stories bring the attractions alive! Story-telling is what I believed to be one of the best ways to do a tour. I offer a unique touring service that focuses on the ancient and genuine historical tales and stories. I took a story-based narration combined with the historical palaces. I also did historical fact checks to ensure the authenticity of the stories I share.

“Amazing tour guide!!!”

Heidi is such an amazing tour guide. My wife and I were here only for a few days, and decided to get a guide to do a full day tour. Heidi efficiently showed us some great spots, on a full customisable day tour, that included some beautiful sites and great food. Her knowledge of history and the Shenzhen area is superb, and the car tour allows you to see so much in a short space of time. She is also very adaptable, and can change to reflect the needs of her customers. Thank you Heidi, we will definitely contact you again when we come back with our children.

“A Complete Tour ”

Cathy is knowledgeable, conversant in English and able to accommodate little changes in itinerary. Prior to visiting each attraction, she would give you an overview and history. During the tour, she would reiterate the pertinent information. This is very useful on attractions like the forbidden city, and the great wall with long history. Cathy is also very attentive. She prepared three sets of winter wear and heatpacks, knowing that we were not adequately dressed. Other gestures like a cake on my birthday was very heartwarming. Thanks Cathy.
