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

Had an excellent day out with our tour guide Clare who took us to the Summer Palace and the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. Very comfortable car and good driver and overall a great way to spend a 1-day layover.
Annis B.
Clare is wonderful!!! She answered all my questions beforehand in such a timely manner and tailored our tours. She went above and beyond. She found out where we could go watch some races during Dragonboat Festival that I couldn't figure out, but we did with her advice. She arranged an airport pickup for us. For this tour, she met us at our hotel with a van/driver. The van was upscale with good seatbelts and AC. Walking on the Great Wall was magical!!! Must see. Clare took us to a restaurant after, I assumed would be touristy, but was one of our best meals and reasonably priced. Best of all - in addition to being a competent/responsible tour guide, Clare is a lovely, kind woman. We enjoyed spending time with her and hearing about her life. As we didn't speak Chinese, we weren't able to talk to any other locals so it was a real treat to get to know Clare. Highly recommend!!!

Claire was wonderful! She had so muck knowledge about all the various sites we visited as well as information beyond our tour. Claire also went above and beyond by rescheduling her next day and creating a tour for us the following day. Claire assisted us with the language barrier and even escorted us to the train! She was kind, funny, knowledgeable, efficient, considerate and very personable. I would absolutely recommend Claire as your tour guide in Beijing!

Clare was am amazing guide. Patient, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, full of advice and suggestions and spoke excellent English! Even after the tour, she offered her services and told us to message her if we had any questions or issues. I'd highly recommend Clare as a guide and will certainly be recommending her to any friends of mine visiting Beijing!
