What makes a great guide? Is it being familiar with tourist attractions? Yes, of course. You need to know the best time and route to visit popular sites. For instance, Monday mornings at Mutianyu Great Wall can be a nightmare. Even at the Forbidden City and Summer Palace, there are quieter routes where you can truly immerse yourself in history. Is it being knowledgeable about history and culture? Yes, of course. China has 5,000 years of civilization and Beijing has served as China’s capital for over 900 years. I use visual aids, such as a relief map of China and a 5,000-year civilization timeline comparison, to help you grasp Beijing and China's splendid past. But most importantly, a good guide should understand clients’ needs. Travellers have different interests. Some love to experience locals’ quiet daily life — a wet market visit would be perfect. Some seek excitement, and an acrobatic show can become the most unforgettable part of your trip. Some admire traditional Chinese paintings, and Liulichang, where people have bought artworks for centuries, will satisfy your artistic taste. Others enjoy riding shared bikes and wandering through old hutongs, then, let’s bike together and discover hidden gems even locals overlook. Talk to me, and I will find the side of Beijing that suits you best. Book my service, and I will show you authentic Beijing!

Joanne T.

Hello! I’m your bilingual local guide for Beijing cultural & heritage tours. I spent more than 10 years living and working in Europe, so I fully understand overseas travelers' travel habits, cultural needs and the little details that make your trip smooth and enjoyable. I hold a professional English tour guide qualification, and I focus on deep-dive tours covering Beijing’s museums, ancient temples, historic relics, grotto art and classic traditional architecture. I love telling history with lively, insightful stories rather than rigid textbook explanations. I’m happy to draw interesting comparisons between Eastern and Western culture during our visits, to help you truly get behind the stories of every relic and landmark. I’m an experienced global traveler myself, having hiked iconic long-distance trails and explored over 20 nations by self-drive and backpacking, so I can offer great off-the-beaten-path travel tips as well. Patient, detail-oriented and easy-going, I aim to make your Beijing journey both educational and relaxing, and help you experience the most authentic side of this ancient capital.

“Excellent custom bilingual tour of Beijing”

Highly recommend Joanne for your guided tour needs in Beijing! I’ve done a lot of tours in a lot of countries and this one stands out in several ways. First, she is truly bilingual, speaks fully idiomatic English and is able to explain historical and cultural concepts in both languages. I was able to practice my intermediate level Mandarin and improved a lot after our many hours of conversation and her patient suggestions for how I can sound more fluent. It is hard to overstate how helpful it is for language learning to have someone in the moment explain what locals are saying or what the signs mean or how to respond in certain situations or explain the nuance between two similar phrases. We also spoke about life topics unrelated to Beijing and that made the experience more personal and fulfilling as well. Second, her knowledge of the city is impressive in both breadth and depth. We had a wide range of experiences across the 2 day tour from big must see attractions such as Forbidden City, Tiananmen, and Summer Palace to more local streets, temples and shops and many modes of transportation to get an authentic feel for the city. At every stop she was able to point out both the big picture and minute details, describe how everything fits in China’s history and the cultural significance. I liked how it wasn’t just canned speeches about each place; it was more of a discussion and she was able to answer all of my follow up questions too. Lastly, her customer service is top tier. I booked very last minute but she responded quickly and planned two full days of custom itinerary after discussing my interests. She made all of the reservations for busy attractions, timed everything so we didn’t have to wait in line anywhere, booked restaurants, and was responsive on WeChat. One of the two days happened to be my birthday and she even brought me a small gift which was quite touching. Overall it was a memorable and unique experience and I’d definitely tour with her again!

Joanne T.

Hi Hanna, Thank you so much for such a lovely, detailed review — it made my day! I thoroughly enjoyed our two days wandering around Beijing and all our wide‑ranging chats about history, culture and little language subtleties. It was so rewarding to witness how quickly your Mandarin improved during our time together. You are making fantastic progress and I’m sure you will be speaking very fluent Chinese before long. Hope your rest of trip goes smoothly and safely. Would be lovely to cross paths again sometime. All the best, Joanne

“Glad we went with John”

We had a really enjoyable tour of the Forbidden City with John. He was upbeat, friendly and pleasant throughout the day, and everything was very well organised. John was punctual and managed the timing of the tour extremely well. We were able to see everything planned without ever feeling rushed, and he still made sure there was plenty of time for bathroom breaks, photos and stopping when we needed to. A real highlight was that John managed to arrange access for us to an exclusive robot tour, which was a fantastic and unexpected addition to the experience. John’s positive attitude and easygoing manner made the day very enjoyable. We really appreciated the effort he put into making sure everything ran smoothly and that we had a great experience at the Forbidden City. Thank you, John!

John T.

Dear Mr. Donald, I am deeply touched and truly grateful for your wonderful feedback following our two‑hour visit to the Forbidden City. It was such a privilege to accompany you through this magnificent imperial complex, where centuries of Chinese history unfold amid its grand red‑walled palaces and golden‑tiled halls. I hope those precious moments wandering among these timeless architectural treasures have left you with lasting, cherished memories of Beijing’s royal heritage. Your generous words mean a great deal to me, and they serve as a heartfelt encouragement for my work. Please accept my warmest regards to you and your beloved family. Should you ever return to China in the future, it would be my greatest honour to welcome you once again. With sincere appreciation, John
