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!

Miaomiao W.

I’ve been a licensed English-Japanese tour guide since 2004! I know Shenzhen well—I’ll tell you stories about the "dragon’s sons" on ancient roofs and take you to try high-tech fun like flying cars, drones, humanoid robots, and self-driving taxis, super exciting! I’m great at shopping too. I know exactly where to go for the best deals: cheap gadgets as gifts, real-looking knockoffs at China’s top high-end clothing market, and 2-carat lab-grown diamonds for just 2000+RMB. You might even find a business chance you didn’t expect. Need to visit factories? I can help—show you around, assist with negotiations, or find factories if you don’t have one. After the order is set, I’ll follow up on the progress and help arrange shipping. I’ve ordered clothes, jewelries, frames, lens from factories myself, so I’m super experienced and reliable! I’m flexible, down-to-earth and easy to get along with. I’ll make a customized itinerary fast, no generic cookie-cutter tours—just breathtaking spots tailored just for your taste. Traveling with me is anything but boring, and you won’t need cold translator apps at all. I’ll share your joys and listen to you vent if things go wrong. Your Shenzhen trip will be totally worth it!

Popular Beijing Tour Guides

Xuan X.

What makes a great tour 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.

Private tour is more flexible with time and itinerary, and goes without overheads (budget tour). I am proficient in English and Cantonese speaking, and Spanish (if you don't speak too fast). I am passionate about Chinese sociocultural progress and background, and expect to have an intercultural journey with you!

Isa Z.

Hi, I'm Isa— a licensed tour guide (English & Chinese) and a proud Chongqing native. I know this city inside and out, from its deep history and hidden cultural gems to the futuristic cyberpunk vibes that make it so unique. And of course, I know exactly where to find the best mouth-numbing, heartwarming spicy food. To me, guiding is so much more than showing people around — it's about creating real connections. I never see my guests as just "clients." I see them as friends who've traveled a long way to meet me, and I truly care about making your time here special. If you're ready to explore Chongqing like a local, I'd love to be your guide. Let's have some fun together!

Jacky G.

Hello! I'm Jacky GONG (贡文), a licensed bilingual (English/Chinese) private guide in Hangzhou and an Official Docent at the Zhejiang Provincial Museum — a credential held by very few guides in the city. After 15 years as an IT engineer, I became a full-time guide, and I've now hosted 500+ travelers from more than 13 countries. I specialize in deeply customized cultural experiences: decoding the hidden stories of the Southern Song Dynasty, exploring ancient temples like Lingyin, and weaving classical Chinese poetry into the landscape of West Lake. I'm also a passionate hiker with 15 years on Hangzhou's mountain trails. I guide guests away from the crowds to hidden gems — from pristine tea plantations in Longjing to off-the-beaten-path routes in the Western Hills. As a 240-hour visa-free transit specialist, I handle airport pickup and the logistics, so your day runs seamlessly. Every tour includes private transportation in a spacious, premium SUV, tailored 100% to your pace and interests. Let's skip the tourist traps and create an unforgettable, authentic Hangzhou journey together. Welcome to my hometown!

Scarlett H.

Hi there! I’m Scarlett, a licensed English-speaking guide based in Hangzhou and covering the gorgeous Shanghai-Jiangsu-Zhejiang region. My friends often call me a bit of a story-collector. Having graduated from Cambridge with a degree in sociology, I love going beyond the standard postcard views to help you understand the real, living pulse of China (e.g. local stories, hidden details, and quirky histories most tourists walk right past). Everything I do is entirely customized around your vibe. Whether you’re dreaming of a zen day sipping tea in mist-shrouded valleys, hunting down the best under-the-radar street eats, or chasing futuristic, cyberpunk cityscapes for that perfect shot, we can design it from scratch. We can easily explore on foot, but if you want to travel in total comfort and style, I also offer car tours with my own very cozy private wheels, perfect for escaping the summer heat or zipping between hidden spots. Oh, and you can leave the camera duty to me! I have a real passion for photography and a sharp eye for lighting and angles, so I’ll make sure you go home with a camera roll full of stunning memories. Whether you're here for a quick weekend or a deep-dive adventure, just drop me a message and let's craft your perfect trip!

Hi there! I’m Moon, your go-to Shanghai insider. With a background in tourism management and years of professional guiding, I don't just show you landmarks—I bring them to life. If you want to skip the dry textbook scripts and dive into Shanghai’s hidden histories, fascinating urban legends, and the juicy anecdotes behind the Bund and the French Concession, you’re in the right place! Let’s explore the secrets of this city together, one story at a time. Ready to see Shanghai through a local expert's eyes?

Pima W.

Hi, I'm Pima! I'm a licensed English-speaking guide in Hangzhou. I moved to Hangzhou from northern China in 2012, drawn by its lakes, tea mountains, and the weight of a thousand years of poetry. My background isn't your typical guide story. I started as a journalist, then became the only content strategist in a marketing department before I found my true calling: telling stories about places. I'm also a museum docent and a bird watcher, which means I spend my off hours in galleries and nature. What I bring to a tour: It's the result of hundreds of books, academic papers, and conversations with local elders. I specialize in the Dynasties in China, and the old shiny civilization. My tours are built on stories. Ask me about tea and I'll take you to the actual source. Ask me about history and I'll show you where poets once carved their verses into stone. Ask me what else I love and I'll tell you: birdwatching, stargazing, 3D printing, and finding quiet corners of this city that even locals don't know exist. I don't rush. And I genuinely believe that the best tours feel less like a tour and more like walking through history with a friend who happens to know a lot. Come explore China with me. Let's make a real conversation.

2-Hour Walking Tour at Beijing Forbidden City

“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
