Isa Z.

Hi, I'm Isa— a licensed tour guide (English & Chinese) and a proud Chongqing native. I know this city inside and out, from its deep history and hidden cultural gems to the futuristic cyberpunk vibes that make it so unique. And of course, I know exactly where to find the best mouth-numbing, heartwarming spicy food. To me, guiding is so much more than showing people around — it's about creating real connections. I never see my guests as just "clients." I see them as friends who've traveled a long way to meet me, and I truly care about making your time here special. If you're ready to explore Chongqing like a local, I'd love to be your guide. Let's have some fun together!

Scarlett H.

Hi there! I’m Scarlett, a licensed English-speaking guide based in Hangzhou and covering the gorgeous Shanghai-Jiangsu-Zhejiang region. My friends often call me a bit of a story-collector. Having graduated from Cambridge with a degree in sociology, I love going beyond the standard postcard views to help you understand the real, living pulse of China (e.g. local stories, hidden details, and quirky histories most tourists walk right past). Everything I do is entirely customized around your vibe. Whether you’re dreaming of a zen day sipping tea in mist-shrouded valleys, hunting down the best under-the-radar street eats, or chasing futuristic, cyberpunk cityscapes for that perfect shot, we can design it from scratch. We can easily explore on foot, but if you want to travel in total comfort and style, I also offer car tours with my own very cozy private wheels, perfect for escaping the summer heat or zipping between hidden spots. Oh, and you can leave the camera duty to me! I have a real passion for photography and a sharp eye for lighting and angles, so I’ll make sure you go home with a camera roll full of stunning memories. Whether you're here for a quick weekend or a deep-dive adventure, just drop me a message and let's craft your perfect trip!

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!

Ben W.

I am a government licensed English speaking tour guide in Hangzhou. I hold a Master of Engineering degree and used to be an engineer in a European joint venture for almost 20 years. However I am more enthusiastic about history and cultures, and I love traveling around the world making friends from different countries . I will use my professional, accurate, and extensive knowledge to introduce you to the real, interesting and insightful aspects of China, instead of just reciting those superficial descriptions of tourist attractions. Hangzhou, known 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 and a good destination for shopping and dining. I highly recommend you make Hangzhou a stop when you visit China. There are a lot of famous attractions in the city. You can check the Profile Gallery for pictures of them. I have lived in Hangzhou for over 20 years, almost knowing every corner of the city. If you are interested in any of those attractions, just message me! I can arrange the customized tour best suitable for you. Look forward to seeing you in Hangzhou!

Pima W.

Hi, I'm Pima! I'm a licensed English-speaking guide in Hangzhou. I moved to Hangzhou from northern China in 2012, drawn by its lakes, tea mountains, and the weight of a thousand years of poetry. My background isn't your typical guide story. I started as a journalist, then became the only content strategist in a marketing department before I found my true calling: telling stories about places. I'm also a museum docent and a bird watcher, which means I spend my off hours in galleries and nature. What I bring to a tour: It's the result of hundreds of books, academic papers, and conversations with local elders. I specialize in the Dynasties in China, and the old shiny civilization. My tours are built on stories. Ask me about tea and I'll take you to the actual source. Ask me about history and I'll show you where poets once carved their verses into stone. Ask me what else I love and I'll tell you: birdwatching, stargazing, 3D printing, and finding quiet corners of this city that even locals don't know exist. I don't rush. And I genuinely believe that the best tours feel less like a tour and more like walking through history with a friend who happens to know a lot. Come explore China with me. Let's make a real conversation.

Yanran L.

After living in France for seven years, I've returned to China with a mission: to share the authentic culture of my homeland with friends from around the world. I have over a year of professional guiding experience in Shanghai and its surrounding areas, where I've provided in-depth, personalized tours for international business clients invited by major corporations like Huawei. I specialize in curating immersive journeys through Shanghai's cultural veins, offering profound insights into historical landmarks like Yu Garden and the Bund. My experience includes successfully hosting high-level delegations, including government leaders from Mauritania and Tunisia, and I have accompanied over 50 distinguished global guests, taking care of every detail from airport transfers to cultural interpretation. Traveling with me means experiencing Shanghai not just as a tourist, but through the eyes of a bicultural local who bridges Eastern and Western perspectives.

Cade J.

Hi, I’m Cade, a local guide based in Chengdu. If you’re planning a trip to China and feel a bit confused about how things work here - don’t worry, that’s exactly where I come in. I help travelers explore Chengdu (and beyond) in a simple and relaxed way. No complicated plans, no rushing around - just a smooth trip where everything actually works. - Want to see the pandas without wasting half your day in queues? - Need help figuring out trains, tickets, or how to get around? - Or just prefer having someone local to make things easier? That’s basically what I do. Most of my guests are not looking for a “tour guide with a flag”, but someone who can: - plan your route properly and make the most of your time - help you avoid common travel problems and tourist traps - stay away from overly crowded tourist spots when possible - experience the real local culture, not just the surface - keep everything transparent with no hidden costs - make the whole trip feel easy and smooth I’m flexible with plans, so whether you already have an idea or have no clue where to start, we can figure it out together. Just send me a message and tell me what you’re thinking.
