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. Imagine standing atop the Great Wall, pointing out the very stone steps once trodden by emperors; or guiding visitors through the Summer Palace, weaving tales of Qing Dynasty legends. My tours are like living history books, enriched with humorous anecdotes and local insights. A Voice Bridging Cultures Fluent in both English and Mandarin, I've welcomed travelers from over twenty countries.

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.

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.

“Visited Beijing for first time and booked a 2-day guided tour with GoWithGuide. Our English speaking guide was Clare Z.”
Clare Z is a very experienced and knowledgeable guide for Beijing. She is conversant with English language. The itinerary was well planned and included 2 interesting lunch spots. The restaurants chosen were great and reasonably priced. The historical commentaries at icon sites (Forbidden Palace etc) added great insights for me. Clare took great care of us through the trip. Example when my Hp was low on battery, she went to rent portable charger for me. What is more commendable even after our tour ended and we had issues with another local travel operator, she took her personal time to assist in successfully helping us get our refund. We are lucky to have her as our guide and our first visit was so much more enjoyable. I rate her 5 / 5. 4 April 2026.
Clare Z.
Hi NG, Your sweet review truly warmed my heart! It was a lovely experience showing you the beauty and history of Beijing, and I’m happy the two lunch spots met your expectations. Thank you for recognizing my work. Wish you happy travels forever, and hope to see you in Beijing again someday. Clare

“Unforgettable Beijing Tour With Excellent Guide John ! ”
John was a brilliant English-speaking tour guide! He led us on a two-hour walking tour of the Temple of Heaven, providing professional and engaging commentary with a well-organized and logically structured itinerary. He clearly explained the history and cultural significance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering in-depth analysis of ancient royal rituals, the symbolic architecture of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Circular Mound Altar, and the unique cosmology embodied in the entire complex. His vivid, engaging, and easy-to-understand explanations made the entire journey truly meaningful. After the tour, John thoughtfully recommended a local restaurant, allowing us to savor authentic Chinese cuisine, a perfect ending to our trip. He was knowledgeable, considerate, and passionate about sharing Chinese culture.
