My name is Tony, a licensed English-speaking tour guide in Beijing. For the past 15 years, I have been dedicated to showing friends from all over the world this amazing city. In short, I am not just your tour guide—I am your local guide in Beijing, a storyteller of history, a navigation expert, a culinary explorer, and sometimes even a witty ‘human GPS’. Over the past 15 years, I have visited the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace countless times, recounted the stories of the Great Wall thousands of times, and helped thousands of visitors avoid tourist traps, find authentic Peking duck, and snap perfect photos without any passers-by in the frame. I know every hidden gem, every shortcut, and every interesting tidbit of Beijing’s history, culture and daily life. I speak fluent English and am well-versed in different cultural customs, bringing centuries of history to life in a lively, engaging and accessible way – no dry lectures, just entertaining and practical insights. I’ve seen it all: sudden downpours, lost passports, missed buses, and travelers who fall in love with pancake at first bite. Don’t worry—I always handle any challenge with ease, so you can simply relax and enjoy the journey. My job is simple: to ensure your trip to Beijing is smooth, safe, unforgettable and filled with laughter. Whether you wish to delve into history, seek out authentic local cuisine or capture stunning photographs, I can cater to your needs. So, sit back, relax, and let’s explore the real Beijing and China together—with knowledge, ease and plenty of fun!

The Summer Palace: a historic imperial garden. You can explore each attraction at your own leisurely pace. Let’s experience the beauty of Beijing and the unique charm of Datong together!
