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 2000+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, no generic cookie-cutter tours—just breathtaking spots tailored just for your taste. Traveling with me is anything but boring, and you won’t need cold translator apps at all. I’ll share your joys and listen to you vent 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.

Ben W.
I am a government licensed English-speaking tour guide in Hangzhou. I am enthusiastic about history and cultures and used to be an engineer in a Europe joint venture for almost 20 years. I chose to be a tour guide because I love making friends from all over the world and I am very happy to help you better understand China. Hangzhou, know as “Paradise on Earth”, with the poetic West Lake, is the most beautiful major city in China. It has a very long history of more than 2000 years, once being the capital of ancient China. Hangzhou is also a modern metropolis with amazing city views. It is a paradise for shopping and dining. There are a lot of famous attractions in the city. You can check the Profile Gallery for pictures I took from those attractions. I have lived in Hangzhou for over 20 years and almost know every corner of the city. If you are interested in any of those attractions, just message me! I can arrange the tour for you. I can show you the most beautiful scenic spots, and explain the story behind them; I can take you to the most authentic restaurants; I can answer all your questions and I will let you experience the most real China. I highly recommend you make Hangzhou a stop when you visit China. I am looking forward to seeing you here in Hangzhou!

Conor L.
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.

Honestly, we would not have survived without her. Her English is great, she's very friendly and funny. She has fantastic knowledge of where to go if we needed to purchase a specific item.

Thank you so much for your kind words Aziz! It was my great pleasure to be your tour guide. I really had a wonderful time during the two days with you and your friend.
