Hi! I’m Tracy, your Chinese friend and a certified English-speaking guide with 20 years of living experience here. Welcome to Beijing! ** Are you looking for insider, tailor-made experiences in Beijing — offering the level of a luxury travel agency like WildChina, but at the more reasonable direct price with an elite private guide? ** Would you like your journey to be thoughtfully designed by someone who deeply understands local culture and history, while also appreciating your lifestyle and taste — creating an experience tailored around your interests, whether it’s history, culture, lifestyle, or simply enjoying the city at a relaxed pace with family and friends? ** Are you a food lover with a refined palate, hoping to discover exceptional dining experiences—from hidden local gems to refined restaurants carefully selected by a true local foodie? — Then your ACE answer would be traveling with me! :) Before becoming a guide, I worked in multinational companies, the internet industry, and even venture capital—worlds that most tour guides have never stepped into. These experiences equipped me with fluent English communication skills and enabled a deep understanding of contemporary Chinese society, economic development, and how tradition and innovation coexist here. Whether you’re curious about modern work culture, the local start-up scene, or how daily life has evolved, I can offer perspectives and stories you simply won’t hear elsewhere. I am also a 10+ year user and Level 8 (Top Level) reviewer on China’s version of “Yelp.” :) This means all the restaurants I recommend are based on my real personal experience as a local foodie — from home kitchens to fine dining. Having traveled across five continents and explored countless places myself, I truly understand what fellow travelers are looking for. I know you’re not here for something generic or touristy—you want something deeper, more authentic, and memorable. That’s exactly the kind of experience I love creating for you. My tours are never one-size-fits-all; they are privately designed around what matters to you—because, to me, that’s what travel is all about: gaining new perspectives and truly feeling the heartbeat of the culture. As of now, I've welcomed hundreds of international travelers from all around the world, and the satisfaction rate is SIMPLY 120%! Many of them have even become friends with me ever since. Trust me, four hours with me won’t feel like enough once you've met me. :) Feel free to reach out if you’d like more than just a tour, but a chance to truly understand Beijing—its spirit, its rhythm, and its people—on a deeper, more personal level, creating a truly unique memory!
