Are there companies in China that offer personal tour guide services?

Accepted answer

Short answer, yes, there seem to be. A quick google search for 'private tour guide china' or 'personal tour guide services china' will reveal several, look at the adverts on the right of your results page.

However, for specific examples of private tours, something like Grace China Tours might be what you're after - they have organised tours, but also state:

we'll be glad to Customize a private china tours for you according to your requirements and interests

(grammatical issues are theirs).

They have a live chat where you could quickly find out what they offer.

I'm not sure how much you've travelled, but I have several friends who have been to China, and only two used tours - the others self-explored, with no big problems. Sure there were language barriers, but that's often half the fun. Especially in the cities, you'll be surprised sometimes at how often someone speaks English. Or if you just learn some basic words before you go - bus station, please/thanks and the like, you find yourself with a lot more confidence. However, I can totally understand that that's not for everyone, I just wanted to let you know that it is possible.

Good luck, and enjoy!

To be honest, you could nab a university student and he would love to practice his/her English on you all day in whatever city you are in and take you around for free.

For example, you can find a victim on conversationexchange.com or something. Just try to coordinate the dates and the cities.

If you want something more pro, you can try seekpanda.com. But I believe this is more translation oriented, however, if you drop them a line they could probably give you a one-on-one excursion too.
