About this experience
This is more than a private transfer — it combines transportation with an English-speaking Elite Assistant in Foshan, one of China’s key manufacturing and business cities.
Instead of simply providing a vehicle, this service offers on-the-ground local support. The Elite Assistant may help with communication, schedule coordination, navigation between factories, showrooms or business districts, and real-time problem solving during your trip.
What makes this service different is having a professional local assistant by your side, not just a driver. This helps foreign travelers save time, reduce confusion, and avoid common mistakes when moving around Foshan for business or sourcing purposes.
The service is fully private and flexible, with no fixed routes or rigid schedules. It is ideal for business travelers, sourcing professionals, and visitors who need reliable local support — not just a ride.
