ToursByLocals

ToursByLocals is a global marketplace connecting travelers with vetted, licensed local guides — including across China's major cities. You book a guide (and their proposed tour) directly, then customize.

What we offer:

• Private local guides in Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Chengdu, Guilin & more

• Customizable day tours & multi-day experiences

• Interest-led themes — history, food, photography, nature

• Direct guide communication and transparent per-tour pricing

• Every guide interviewed & reviewed

Best for travelers who want a local expert, not a packaged tour.
