Hello! My name is Clare, Chinese name Qing Qing,and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as an English - speaking tour guide. I graduated from an English - Tourism major, and for over 20 years, I've been based in Beijing, devoting myself to the tourism industry. This long - standing career has been an incredible journey filled with countless memorable experiences. I've had the honor of welcoming tourists from more than 100 countries. Among them were families, some with three generations traveling together, creating heartwarming moments. Business travelers, eager to explore Beijing during their breaks from work, and groups of students coming to China for educational tours also made up a significant part of my clientele. Each group brought their unique stories and expectations, and it was my responsibility and pleasure to meet their needs. During the Beijing Olympics, I had the privilege of working with the Italian delegation, helping them navigate the city and experience the excitement of the Games. When NBA stars visited China, I was fortunate enough to accompany them on their charity activities, which was both inspiring and rewarding. Moreover, I've received mayors and governors from various countries, handling high - level visits with professionalism and grace. Beyond my work in Beijing, I'm an avid traveler myself. I've visited more than twenty countries, including New Zealand, Russia, Ukraine, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. These travels have not only broadened my horizons but also deepened my understanding of different cultures, which I can then share with my clients. In my spare time, I have a passion for reading, as it allows me to continuously learn and grow. And like many people today, I also enjoy spending some leisure time scrolling through TikTok, keeping up with the latest trends and having a bit of fun. I truly believe that my rich work experiences, combined with my love for travel and diverse interests, enable me to offer you an exceptional travel experience. I'm looking forward to meeting you in Beijing and making sure you have a wonderful vacation filled with beautiful memories. Clare

Spend one unforgettable day travelling through Beijing’s soul: imperial grandeur and authentic local life side‑by‑side. On this private guided tour you will visit two UNESCO World‑Heritage treasures ‑ the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven ‑ then wander the old‑world hutong lanes around Shichahai Lake. Walk inside emperors’ palaces, discover ancient Chinese cosmology hidden within architecture, and step into quiet courtyard neighbourhoods where ordinary Beijingers still live. This is not a rushed group sightseeing run‑around. As your personal guide, I tailor the rhythm entirely to you. Stop for photographs, ask cultural questions, linger wherever captures your curiosity, and truly feel old‑Beijing come alive before your eyes. Please Note:If your travel date lands on Monday when the Forbidden City is shut ,we will visit the breathtaking Summer Palace instead.
My son and I did the Forbidden City city tour with Clare. Communication before tour was great. Clare provided excellent information about the aspects of the places we visited. She was very insightful with her comments and a pleasure to spend the day with learning about Chinese history and modern society.
Clare made our first day in Beijing truly unforgettable. She was warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of the Forbidden City and the Hutongs to life with fascinating stories and insights. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning and was always attentive to our family’s needs.
Clare was amazing. Period. We love to walk and love history and culture and Clare delivered! We began our day in the queue for Tian'anmen but aborted that plan and went straight to the Forbidden City where we explored for several hours. From there on to a local old town, enjoyed some amazing dumplings and meat pies, and then on to Tian'anmen, arriving in time to tour the Square and get a great viewing for the retiring of the flag. All in all, an amazing day and we got to see far more than our friends who were on excursions arranged by a large company. Highly recommend!!
