Miaomiao W.
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 1,000 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. Traveling with me isn’t boring—no cold translator app! I’ll share your joy and vent with you if things go wrong. Your Shenzhen trip will be totally worth it!

Hello everyone! I'm Tony, born and raised in Beijing. My entire life has been spent falling in love with every corner of this city—from the whispers of history at the Forbidden City to the vibrant energy of the hutongs. Now, as an English-speaking tour guide, I'm sharing this passion with the world! Why I'm the perfect fit for this role: A heart brimming with Beijing stories I don't just recount history—I bring it to life. Imagine standing atop the Great Wall, pointing out the very stone steps once trodden by emperors; or guiding visitors through the Summer Palace, weaving tales of Qing Dynasty legends. My tours are like living history books, enriched with humorous anecdotes and local insights. A Voice Bridging Cultures Fluent in both English and Mandarin, I've welcomed travelers from over twenty countries.

Hi everyone, I am Conor. A young local tour guide who has an interesting soul in Beijing. I started to do this as a part-time job when I was at high school during the summer vacation, now this year is the 8th since then. with time goes by I found I really fell in love with this job, you will meet people from all around the world and many interesting stories would happen while we are traveling together, I am the guide for them but at the same time we also seem friends, so at the end of the trip it's always so hard to say goodbye to them. I think I really have a passion about my job, I am really enjoyable when I am working. I feel so happy to see the smile of my tourist’s face. It seems like I found the meaning of my life. I am sure that you guys must be a great lover of eastern culture. Most people always think Chinese culture could be so mysterious and curious, and you are so lucky to find someone like me to lead you to this adventure of this huge land. we will climb up to the ten thousand Milles Great Wall to see its magnificence, explore the largest imperial palace from centuries ago etc. Also we could go to the Hutong area (street of old districts) at night to eat some barbecue and some beers in some local bar restaurants.

“Wonderful Private Tour Experience in Guangzhou with Heidi”
We had a great experience on our 12-hour private tour in Guangzhou with Heidi as our guide. Our group of 20 included people aged 12 to 86, and Heidi did a wonderful job accommodating everyone. She was very responsive during the planning process and helped us create an itinerary that worked well for our group. Heidi has a friendly and approachable personality, and her knowledge of Guangzhou’s history and culture added a lot of value to the tour. She was patient and helpful throughout the day, making sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. Her ability to speak both English and Mandarin was especially useful, as it allowed her to communicate effectively with both the younger and older members of our group. Overall, Heidi made the day enjoyable and stress-free. We’re glad we had her as our guide and would recommend her to others visiting Guangzhou.
