“An excellent Shenzhen tour guide”

I booked Heidi to show some friends around Shenzhen, and she did an excellent job. As a licensed tour guide in China, she is very knowledgeable about Shenzhen and shared many interesting insights throughout the tour. She also speaks very good English, which made communication easy and allowed my friends to fully enjoy the experience. Heidi was punctual, professional, and well organized, as well as attentive to my friends’ interests and pace. She was also kind and genuine, and her warm personality made my friends feel comfortable and well looked after throughout the tour. I would happily book Heidi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and engaging guide in Shenzhen.

“Perfect day in Shenzhen”

Heidi grew up in the city, she saw the whole development of it and she knows every corner. Whatever you want to do or see she can organise it quickly. We tried a self driving car, checked the robots and ordered coffee via the drone service. It was super fun. Heidi’s English is polished and clear; she literally speaks Queen’s English. Hire her and you won’t regret.

Dear Andras & gentlemen, Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! It was such a pleasure spending time with you engineers and sharing Shenzhen’s unique blend of tech and local culture. Your kind words inspire me to keep improving and create more wonderful travel memories for my guests. I do feel really sorry that we were unable to watch the full robot performance and let you down on this part. I also truly appreciate how understanding and accommodating you were throughout our tour. Thank you for booking with me, and for the quick, honest communication from start to finish. I sincerely hope I get to meet you all again in China someday. Best regards, Heidi
