Selina was referred to me from another guide elsewhere in China and I could not have been happier.   Her English is fluent and her drive and energy left a positive impression.    I got the understanding she works with may visiting people who visit Xiamen for their employers - despite this, since I was on holiday, she exceeded my expectations for a liesurely tour of the entire area.    Special requests were researched and honored, including a quick trip to Kinmen Island.   After a few days, she felt like an old friend.   Selina is very conscientious and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a fun and spunky guide in the Xiamen area.

We just had a great day visiting Xiamen Tulou with Selina and very satisfied with her service.

Prior to the trip, Selina was very prompt with her reply when we contacted her and provide us with comprehensive details that we want. This also help us conclude our booking with her within a day. With no surprise she was punctual when picking us up at the hotel.

Selina's English is excellent with good accent. She is also service oriented and make sure you are not to be interrupted by some local goods seller during your sightseeing. Our schedule was packed and covered all essential places for a day trip. I have contacted several guides and her charge was priced competitively.

The transport she booked for us was very good and one of the best driver we experienced in China. The driver drives cautiously at a good speed, he also very well mannered and most importantly NO honking. The van is new and spacious.

We would definitely use her service again in our next trip.

If you are looking for someone who over delivers, need to look no more.  Selina Chen.  She is one heck of a guide.  I booked a tour after a lot of looking around, and was not sure, if I had picked the right one in Selina.  I had two options, Xiamen Day Tour or the Tu Lou tour.  I opted for the latter, more intruiging one at that.  Great guide, always unassuming, fantastic down to earth driver too.

Her english is amazing considering her chinese antecedents, she may not be the one knowing everything, but if you need someone to be by your side when you are a novice, you can count on her.  Patient, great listener, knows what she speaks, and understands where she is taking you.

Amazing trip, worth the money.  Dont look anywhere else, book her, and enjoy the smoothest ride ever!!
