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!

“A Perfect Day”
Heidi met us at our accommodation and we were soon on our way. I had previously advised her of three places that we wanted to visit that day but she suggested another stop off point along the way. Her idea was an absolute winner. She was not only knowledgable about the best attractions and scenic views but was knowledgable about the history of the places we visited too. One of our stops was the Nantou Ancient Town. I like learning a little about the history of places that we visit. It makes them more real. Heidi allowed those ancient walls to reveal some of their secrets to us. She helped us to explore new food choices too and got us safely to all of our desired locations. In the morning we met Heidi, our local guide. By the end of our tour we said goodbye to Heidi, our new friend.

“Great guide!”
We had booked Heidi for two days (in Guangzhou and Shenzen). Heidi suggested a great plan to get us arround and see the city but she was flexible enough to build in our changing whishes over the day :-) Especially the first day was very helpful to get us started in China by helping us to get metro tickets and generally showing us how things are done. Thanks a lot for making our trip great!
Heidi L.
Dear Philip, Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a pleasure guiding you around Guangzhou and Shenzhen for two days. I’m really happy you enjoyed the customized itinerary and appreciated how I adjusted the plan to fit your changing preferences throughout the day. Please say HELLO to the children. Hope they will well play the shuttlecock soon. Lol.. Cheers/ Heidi
