Hello everyone! I'm Tony, born and raised in Beijing. My entire life has been spent falling in love with every corner of this city—from the whispers of history at the Forbidden City to the vibrant energy of the hutongs. Now, as an English-speaking tour guide, I'm sharing this passion with the world! Why I'm the perfect fit for this role: A heart brimming with Beijing stories I don't just recount history—I bring it to life.

My tours are like living history books, enriched with humorous anecdotes and local insights.

Conor L.
Hi everyone, I am Conor. A young local tour guide who has an interesting soul in Beijing. I started to do this as a part-time job when I was at high school during the summer vacation, now this year is the 8th since then. with time goes by I found I really fell in love with this job, you will meet people from all around the world and many interesting stories would happen while we are traveling together, I am the guide for them but at the same time we also seem friends, so at the end of the trip it's always so hard to say goodbye to them. I think I really have a passion about my job, I am really enjoyable when I am working. I feel so happy to see the smile of my tourist’s face. It seems like I found the meaning of my life. I am sure that you guys must be a great lover of eastern culture. Most people always think Chinese culture could be so mysterious and curious, and you are so lucky to find someone like me to lead you to this adventure of this huge land. we will climb up to the ten thousand Milles Great Wall to see its magnificence, explore the largest imperial palace from centuries ago etc. Also we could go to the Hutong area (street of old districts) at night to eat some barbecue and some beers in some local bar restaurants.

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.

“An Unforgettable Beijing Experience with Tony”
Spending five days in Beijing with Tony as our guide was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, he brought the city to life with his deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and genuine passion for sharing Beijing’s history and culture. Our journey started at the Bell and Drum Tower Square, where Tony blended history with present-day life, pointing out locals dancing and playing games. As we explored local markets and traditional hutongs, he offered insights we never would have discovered on our own. He made every stop feel meaningful. The visit to the Forbidden City was incredible. Tony guided us through its vast history with ease, making such a massive and crowded site feel engaging and manageable. Our day at the Great Wall of China was equally unforgettable—he handled all logistics seamlessly, and his explanations added depth to the experience. A countryside lunch where we caught and ate fresh trout was a unique and memorable touch. At sites like the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, and Tiananmen Square, Tony continued to impress with his knowledge and ability to keep everything interesting without overwhelming us. What truly set Tony apart was his flexibility, attention to detail, and care for our experience. From great food recommendations to adjusting plans to fit our pace, everything felt personalized. By the end of the trip, Tony felt more like a friend than a guide. If you’re visiting Beijing, we highly recommend him—he will make your experience unforgettable.

“Enjoy being educated by top notch guide”
If you want to profit from your visit to Beijing by learning much while saving time, then you really must hire Clare as your guide. Here’s why we fell in love with Clare: 1. Always arrived a few minutes early 2. We asked millions of questions, Clare provided educated, interesting answers to all, adding “spicy” stories 3. Clare learns fast your interests, thus focuses on information that you wish to enquire, while skipping places with little significance 4. Clare’s has so many interesting stories, that she can make everything fascinating. 5. Extremely considerate 6. Helpful beyond her contract, offering help when required. In short: the perfect guide for anything Beijing. She is someone I’d be happy to call a friend.
