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!

Growing up between Hong Kong and Scotland, Rory was never a stranger to adventure. Whether it was scaling munros in the Scottish Highlands or the finding new waterfalls in the New Territories of HK, he was always keen to utilise any opportunity to explore. After finishing school, he got his first taste of a big adventure sailing an 80ft yacht from Scotland to the Svalbard archipelago near the North Pole. His post school years were then spent working and skiing in New Zealand & travelling around Southeast Asia. All of this, before moving to Australia to pursue degree in architecture. Whilst studying, Rory completed a solo bicycle trip across Vietnam and China, cycling from Saigon to Hong Kong. He wrote a book based on the experience that led to greater endeavours in the ensuing years. With university done, Rory proceeded to tackle a bigger challenge; cycling across Africa. He completed the solo ride from Cape Town to Cairo within 5 months, with a few eye-opening experiences along the way to say the least! His recent kayaking expeditions around Hong Kong, trekking in the Himalayas and climbing of some high altitude routes in the Andes other notable experiences among many. As an experienced traveller, he enjoys meeting other travellers and showing them a different side to Hong Kong. Having grown up there, he has a unique insight into many facets of 'HK' life.

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.

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!

I am a government licensed English speaking tour guide in Hangzhou. I hold a Master of Engineering degree and used to be an engineer in a European joint venture for almost 20 years. However I am more enthusiastic about history and cultures, and I love traveling around the world making friends from different countries . I will use my professional, accurate, and extensive knowledge to introduce you to the real, interesting and insightful aspects of China, instead of just reciting those superficial descriptions of tourist attractions. Hangzhou, known as Paradise on Earth, with the poetic West Lake, is the most beautiful major city in China. It has a very long history of more than 2000 years, once being the capital of ancient China. Hangzhou is also a modern metropolis with amazing city views and a good destination for shopping and dining. I highly recommend you make Hangzhou a stop when you visit China. There are a lot of famous attractions in the city. You can check the Profile Gallery for pictures of them. I have lived in Hangzhou for over 20 years, almost knowing every corner of the city. If you are interested in any of those attractions, just message me! I can arrange the customized tour best suitable for you. Look forward to seeing you in Hangzhou!

“Thank you so much Karen! ”
We had an absolutely wonderful time in Guangzhou thanks to our incredible guide, Karen Zeng. She was incredibly hospitable and took care of us in every aspect of our trip. Karen shared fascinating insights into the history of Guangzhou and recommended fantastic local places to eat.Most importantly, she took exceptional care of my 86-year-old mother-in-law, ensuring she was comfortable and safe throughout the tour. Karen’s bubbly, jovial character brought so much joy to our group and made our trip truly enjoyable. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting Guangzhou!

“Great experience with an awesome guide ”
We were in a group of 6 adults, different ages, and everybody had a great time during our tour. Heidi is very nice, smart and professional. The tour itself was impressive. Riding the driverless car was very cool and so was receveing a drink by drone. Heidi took us to a great restaurant for lunch and helped us ordering food, which was delicious.
