“Guide’s Reliability”
Engaging the services of Ms Heidi Lee for my Shenzhen was the best decision. She speaks English which greatly helped me and my travelling party. More than that, she is a very reliable and professional guide. She helped to plan, according to our desired preferences, co-ordinated and led the group of us during the entire trip. She is also very friendly and approachable.

“A day of exploring made easy”
We appreciated the help from Heidi to discover more about Guangzhou than we could ever do on our own. She worked with me to plan an itinery to explore some of the old parts of Guangzhou as well as show us some of the new. It was great that we were able to travel by the Metro (very cost effective!) as well as cover off a few highlights of what is a very interesting city. She even helped my husband get a new watch, which would have been really hard for us to do on our own. Having struggled to look around the city on our own, we both felt having a private guide like Heidi was a really good option to allow us to get the most of our transit stopover there. We particularly appreciated her staying with us until we got the Metro out to the airport so we didn't take the wrong connection. It made things simple!

Heidi L.
Dear Jane, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and lovely photos! I’m so glad we could combine old and new Guangzhou for your stopover tour, and that the metro worked well for you. It was my pleasure to help with the watch purchase and walk you through the metro connection to the airport. It was a real pleasure guiding both of you. Hope you have safe onward travels, and you are welcome back anytime! Best regards, Heidi

“Absolutely wonderful”
Heidi was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly kind and patient with my elderly mum, always making sure she was comfortable and enjoying the experience. She has such positive energy and was very detailed, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the tour. Beyond being an excellent guide, Heidi is genuinely a sweet and caring person. We felt very well looked after, and the whole experience was relaxed, interesting, and super enjoyable. We had a fantastic time with her and would happily recommend Heidi to anyone visiting Guangzhou!
