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!

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.

China Tour Reviews
Emily C.
“4 hours in Shenzhen on a layover”
I had almost 9 hours in Shenzhen on my layover to London and decided it would be a good opportunity to see a little bit of Shenzhen. Miaomiao was friendly, knowledgeable and had great energy! I was able to eat delicious Teochew and Cantonese food, I experienced a driverless taxi and my food order delivery by drone and was able to wander through some of the market streets. Getting a taste of the technology, development of the city and culture was a great way to spend a few hours and I would love to come back to explore more. The innovation hub with a Kickstarter presence was fun to browse too. I would highly recommend Miaomiao and her curated tour based on what I wanted to experience. She was able to tell me more about Shenzhen while showing me around. I recommend not using Whats---app to communicate if relying on airport wifi as my messages weren't getting through but we managed to find each other quickly! Thank you Miaomiao!

“Miaomiao was a great host!”
We were a bit late starting our tour and Miaomiao graciously accommodated us. As we were staying on Hong Kong Island, we arrived at the Shenzhen border crossing via the east rail line to Futian. Miaomiao meet us on the Shenzhen side after we completed immigration. If you are a foreign tourist, be sure to complete the documentation required at the booth, just before you join the immigration queue or else you will be sent back to the booth, Miaomiao was very knowledgeable and well prepared for our tour . She also was very knowledgeable about the world in general. We particularly enjoyed the "mind reading " exercise, where we put on headbands. My husband and I competed in a car race and I won both times...power of concentration ! Don't miss going in a driverless car or having coffee and lunch served by robots. This is a trip well worth doing and try to have Miaomiao as your host.

Miaomiao W.
Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your lovely review — it means the world to me and is my biggest motivation for guiding tours. I really appreciate your kind recommendation too! I had such an amazing day with you and your husband. Your fun little competitions and sweet banter kept me smiling nonstop the whole time; I can just tell you two share such a joyful, lovely life together. I’ve added brand-new high-tech experiences to my itineraries lately, including eVTOL flying rides. I hope I get to show you these cool new attractions when you visit next time. Looking forward to seeing you again very soon! Best regards, Miaomiao
