Hi, I’m David, and I’m proud to be your local guide in Beijing. After a long career as a financial manager, the pandemic changed my path—but it also opened a new door. I’ve since found my passion in teaching Chinese and guiding travelers through the rich history and vibrant culture of my hometown. At 55, starting over wasn’t easy, but I’ve discovered that sharing my city with curious visitors is deeply rewarding. My tours are designed for small groups who want a personal, authentic experience. I focus on local insights, hidden gems, and meaningful connections, not just sightseeing. I work with private drivers to make your journey smooth and stress-free, especially in a city like Beijing where parking can be a challenge. I’m excited to be part of the ToursByLocals platform, which allows me to offer secure, customizable tours backed by great customer support. Whether you're here for the first time or returning to explore deeper, I’ll make sure your time in Beijing is unforgettable.
