About Tour Guide Ma Y.
Hello everyone! Welcome to Beijing!
I’ve been working as an official, certified English-speaking guide in Beijing for 28 years. I’m a real Beijinger, born and raised here, so I know every corner of this city like the back of my hand.
I specialize in Chinese history, especially the history of Beijing and its famous landmarks. Over the years, I’ve guided thousands of visitors from all over the world, helping them truly understand and enjoy this amazing city.
I’m easygoing, friendly, and love to share stories with a little humor, so our tour will be fun and relaxing, not just boring lectures.
I often take tourist to Mutianyu Great Wall — one of the most beautiful and best-preserved sections of the Great Wall. I’ll show you the best views, share fascinating historical facts, and make sure you have an unforgettable experience.
$260/ per group
