Mei L.
Hi there! I've called Shenzhen home for over 25 years — and this city still surprises me every day. I spent more than a decade with a Fortune 500 company in the IT industry, but my heart has always been in connecting people across cultures. Today, I'm a licensed English tour guide and a Mandarin teacher for international students — combining my deep love for this city with my passion for sharing Chinese culture with visitors from around the world. Shenzhen isn't just China's tech capital. It's a city of incredible food trails, vibrant markets, and stunning coastal hikes — and I want to show you the real Shenzhen, beyond the guidebooks. I lived in Hong Kong for two years and volunteered over 200 hours with a Hong Kong-based charity, which deepened my cross-cultural perspective and my commitment to creating meaningful experiences for travelers. I'm also an amateur photographer, a hiking lover, and a mom of two — which keeps me curious and energetic! Whether you're into street food, tech company visits, coastal walks, or cultural immersion, I'd love to craft a tour just for you. Let's explore Shenzhen together!

Guangzhou Tour Reviews
Jane H.
“A day of exploring made easy”
We appreciated the help from Heidi to discover more about Guangzhou than we could ever do on our own. She worked with me to plan an itinery to explore some of the old parts of Guangzhou as well as show us some of the new. It was great that we were able to travel by the Metro (very cost effective!) as well as cover off a few highlights of what is a very interesting city. She even helped my husband get a new watch, which would have been really hard for us to do on our own. Having struggled to look around the city on our own, we both felt having a private guide like Heidi was a really good option to allow us to get the most of our transit stopover there. We particularly appreciated her staying with us until we got the Metro out to the airport so we didn't take the wrong connection. It made things simple!

Heidi L.
Dear Jane, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and lovely photos! I’m so glad we could combine old and new Guangzhou for your stopover tour, and that the metro worked well for you. It was my pleasure to help with the watch purchase and walk you through the metro connection to the airport. It was a real pleasure guiding both of you. Hope you have safe onward travels, and you are welcome back anytime! Best regards, Heidi

“Absolutely wonderful”
Heidi was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly kind and patient with my elderly mum, always making sure she was comfortable and enjoying the experience. She has such positive energy and was very detailed, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the tour. Beyond being an excellent guide, Heidi is genuinely a sweet and caring person. We felt very well looked after, and the whole experience was relaxed, interesting, and super enjoyable. We had a fantastic time with her and would happily recommend Heidi to anyone visiting Guangzhou!
