Dora was very kind and thoughtful in my first time in China. Guangzhou is such a big metropolis, and we could cover many things around the trip with ease due to her expertise around the area!

“Great guided trip around Shenzhen!”

I was on a solo trip, and Dora was very considerate and professional. The visit was very smooth and pleasant. She went out of her way to make me feel welcome, and she knows so many different spots around the city! We covered a lot of different things, and time flew by. We enjoyed some local cuisine, walked through both the Electronic and Painting districts, and she even helped me with some souvenirs to bring home. I definitely recommend her!
