About Tour Guide 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!

“Nice Tour of Hangzhou highlights with Micheline rated snacks!”

Scarlett was a great guide. She picked me up from the airport, shared the history of the city and talked about its modern character. We stopped at several Micheline rated snack stands along the way! Very enjoyable half day.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Whenever you find your way back to Hangzhou, please do let me know. I'd love to take you on another adventure, perhaps for a peaceful hike up in the hills right by the West Lake to take in more of nature and local tea culture. Wishing you safe travels and hope to see you again!

“Great and Wonderful journey with Scarlett”

Scarlett is an excellent guide for our trip of 4 persons to Huangshan from Hangzhou for 5 days. She was very prompt in communicating with us, before and during the trip. She was very very patient with us, all over 65 years old hence climbing steps is a challenge, in guiding us when we walked up the Huanghsan Mountain. Along the way Scarlett  pointed out and explained various significant historical locations and great lookout spots along Huanghsan Mountain. She arranged the best time for us to set out to avoid crowds at various places at Huangshan Mountain. Scarlett greatly helped us to communicate clearly when we were at the hotels during check-in and at other times that enables us to have a pleasant stay, especially in Huangshan Mountain.  We engaged Scarlett with a car and a driver which Scarlett arranged, and it was a very comfortable electric 7 seater vehicle with a very good, patient & friendly driver. She also arranged for us to stay in quaint hotels inside picturesque scenic ancient towns, and included guided tours in Xidi. Other scenic towns include Hongchun, Huangling and Wuyuan. Scarlett patiently explained the historical significance and cultural development of the places we went so that we can appreciate what we experienced at the ancient scenic towns. Being an accredited tourist guide she could get quick access for us, being foreigners, in places that we visited and for the intercity train tickets as well. She always ensure that we are satisfied with our itinerary each day, and is always very flexible to where and when we decided to go for sightseeing places and even excellent local food, which she will recommended for us to choose along the way. Some of these unplanned places for food and local shopping streets exceeded our expectations. Scarlett is indeed not just a guide, but a great friend that the 4 of us had found.

Thank you so much for your incredibly heartwarming and detailed review! Reading about your wonderful journey from Hangzhou to Huangshan truly made my day. It was an absolute honor and a genuine pleasure to guide the four of you. I am so glad that the flexible pacing, crowd-avoidance strategies, and comfortable transportation made the journey smooth and enjoyable for everyone. Along the way, your kind care for me also touched my heart deeply. Beyond being your guide, I feel so lucky to have gained four wonderful friends from this trip. Thank you for trusting me with your travel memories in China. China is vast and always has so many more hidden gems waiting to be discovered. When you are ready for your next adventure, I will always be here to welcome you back to China with open arms! Wishing you all the very best, robust health, and many more happy travels ahead!
