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.

Are you searching for a guide who is passionate about local history and culture, can help you avoid large tourist crowds, curates varied genuine experiences beyond routine sightseeing, and carries a warm, humorous personality? Look no further—that’s exactly me. I previously worked as a Financial Reporting Manager at a US-listed firm, and shifted careers after the company went private to follow my true passion: acting as a cultural bridge connecting China and international visitors. I prepare detailed visual aids including topographic maps, historical timelines, illustrated charts and short videos, to make China’s long, splendid history easy for you to grasp. Besides quiet hidden routes inside mainstream landmark spots, I also know plenty of off-the-beaten-path hidden gems outside these crowded tourist zones, letting you enjoy a fully relaxed, crowd-free travel atmosphere far away from swarms of tourists. Simple sightseeing is never enough for my tours. I have stable local partnerships for authentic cultural activities: intangible heritage craft workshops, Chinese cooking classes, wet market visits and immersive local life experiences. I treat every guest like my personal friend, customizing every itinerary fully based on your personal hobbies and travel pace. I won’t merely show you famous landmarks — I’ll help you truly experience authentic Chinese culture.

All content draws on professional heritage background, distinguishing verified historical facts from folklore and explaining each site’s genuine cultural value. This is perfectly suited for travelers seeking real insight into Beijing’s cultural heritage.

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.

Study Tours & Business Visits — I arrange factory visits, industry meetings, and cultural exchange programmes for universities, professional groups, and corporate teams across China.

Changchun T.

As a freelance and LICENSED tourguide based in Chongqing, I could offer guidance and translation for tourists and people on business trips or personal journey. 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!

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!

Moon Z.

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.

Jacky G.

Hello! I am Jacky, your dedicated local expert and private guide in Hangzhou. With over 15 years of deep exploration in this historical city, I specialize in delivering high-end, deeply customized, and meaningful travel experiences for international travelers. As a certified bilingual guide at the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, I don't just show you the sights; I bring Hangzhou’s rich history to life. Whether it is decoding the hidden stories of the Southern Song Dynasty, exploring the ancient temples, or introducing you to local arts and culture, I provide a deep cultural narrative that goes far beyond standard tour scripts. In addition to culture and history, I am a passionate outdoor enthusiast with 15 years of trekking experience in the lush mountains surrounding Hangzhou. I love guiding guests away from the crowds to discover hidden gems—from pristine tea plantations in Longjing to scenic, off-the-beaten-path trails in the West Hill. For your ultimate comfort and flexibility, I provide private transportation in a spacious, premium SUV, ensuring a seamless, door-to-door journey tailored 100% to your pace and interests. Let’s skip the tourist traps and create an unforgettable, authentic Hangzhou journey together. I look forward to welcoming you to my beautiful hometown

“Amazing time with Angel”

Angel took us to the forbidden city and jing shan, we had a wonderful time. Her English was great and was extremely communicative even when we were running late. She had an extensive knowledge of the local history and even helped us try out some ice cream. Would 100% recommend for any English speakers. Thank you angel!

“A Memorable Day Exploring Shenzhen with Maria”

Thank you, Maria, for the wonderful day in Shenzhen! I really enjoyed the trip with you. You understood my interest in technology and business and made the day very interesting, comfortable and enjoyable. Even though the weather was quite challenging with the heavy rain, you made every effort to make the most of our day and also arranged a nice opportunity for me to taste traditional Chinese food. I really appreciated your effort, flexibility and positive attitude throughout the trip. It was really nice spending the day with you, and you made my Shenzhen experience more memorable. Thank you again, Maria. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to see you again on my next visit to Shenzhen!
