An English-speaking guide in China is the difference between seeing the country and understanding it. Our English guides — ¥990 for a full 8-hour day, their transport and meal allowance included — are not certificate-holders reading from a script. They are born-and-raised locals who have spent years showing their own cities to English-speaking travellers, from the Great Wall at dawn to the back-alley noodle shops of Chengdu.
You browse their profiles, read real reviews, and meet your guide on a free video call before paying anything. If the chemistry isn’t right, we introduce another. Most travellers confirm within 48 hours of their first message.
