Offered in: English and 2 more

This service is designed for travelers who need more than a driver or a tour escort. I am a Guangzhou-based professional with a background in international client support, private assistance, sourcing trips, photography, and local logistics management. My clients include business visitors, buyers attending trade fairs, content creators, and high-end leisure travelers who expect reliable English communication and efficient on-the-ground execution.

Instead of standard scripted tours, I act as your trusted local partner—planning strategically, escorting intelligently, assisting in negotiations, interpreting cultural context, avoiding tourist traps, and ensuring smooth movement between cities in the Greater Bay Area (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, etc.).

Whether you’re exploring culture or visiting factories, I combine the roles of private chauffeur, translator, fixer, photographer, and executive-level personal assistant—making your time in China more productive, secure, and meaningful.
