- DaftDoughnut0 contributionsGreat insight to the city!I had a long layover by myself in Guangzhou & wanted to see the sights. Being alone in a country I haven't been to before meant I wanted to do a tour. I didn't have to stress about getting back to the airport on time or what to do or where to go. I felt safe the whole time & could leave my hand luggage securely in the tour guides driver while we walked around different areas. I had the lovely 'Candice' as my tour guide, who has lived in GZ for her whole life. She was extremely knowledgeable & gave me a great overview of the old & new city, the beautiful mountain, gardens, rivers & a taste of the famous dim sums. It was a really great experience, that didn't feel rushed, but also managed to fit plenty in. Thank you 🤩Written February 26, 2025

His communication from the very start was clear, concise and welcoming. Damon had expert knowledge regarding the Glass Bridge, man-made lakes/waterfalls, stunning vistas and Gulong area, sharing fantastic insights and history along the way. He was friendly and very accommodating to our specific needs and spoke very good English :) Damon had organised a comfortable car (& driver) for our day's travel which only improved our experience. From understanding the rich history and exciting future of Guangzhou, right down to the appropriate eating etiquette was very interesting and practical!

- tiftom1230 contributionsA Glimpse of Modern GuangzhouOur family of 4 was interested to see what modern Guangzhou offers and this high tech tour gave us a glimpse of how innovative and advanced this city is. Damon, our private guide spoke good English, polite and shared with us his wealth of knowledge about this modern city. As part of our full day tour, we got to experience how efficient and fast the metro network is, being in a driverless car and also visited the modern EV showroom of an established automaker (car enthusiasts will love this place!). This high tech tour is well recommended for first time travellers to Guangzhou to experience how modern Guangzhou is. Thank you, Damon!Written January 24, 2025

Zach is a highly professional, knowledgeable and experienced tour guide in Guangzhou. Best yet, he is creative and adaptable to changes with a moment’s notice.
My family had only 1 day in Guangzhou and, due to the Easter holiday, did not have the foresight to book bullet train tickets until we found out all the tickets were sold out. Zach helped us book ferry tickets and bullet train return tickets, had a driver waiting for us at the pier, took us to dim sum restaurant and skipped the long queue of people waiting in line.
Zach is a wealth of knowledge of the history of Guangzhou and packed in a full day of sights without the hassle of long lines and bypassing traffic and the crowds.
One of the best tours I have taken in Asia.

The guide told us a lot about the culture and history of Guangzhou and managed to showed us most of the popular tourist spots within a day! We first went to the Baiyun mountain where we could see the city skyline and sightsee some wildlife living there. We took a cable car down and enjoyed a 360° view of the city. Then we went to Sun yat-sen temple, took a couple of photos and went to enjoy some traditional dim sum lunch.
Afterwards we went to the city square to enjoy some shopping and finished the trip with a visit to the famous Canton tower and the Guangzhou library. The guide was very helpful and flexible with the day planning, therefor we could combine the city sightseeing with a bit of shopping and street strolling!

With only 6 hours to explore the beautiful city of Guangzhou, we were led by a friendly and knowledgeable guide named Zack. He provided my wife, my son and I with a well planned and organized tour of the city. We started by having a delicious dim sum lunch that included some delicacies unique to Guangzhou. We were then driven to some interesting historical and cultural sites which included a Cantonese Opera performance. At the end, we were driven to downtown Guangzhou, which is modern and architecturally stunning. During the tour, we wanted to know more about the people and lifestyle of Guangzhou, and Zack easily answered our questions. We look forward to our next visit to Guangzhou during which we hope to spend more time with Zack exploring this impressive city.

Zack, was a great guide from the initial booking and sending us all the information we need to get a visa. through to checking in on use a few days before and then meeting us at the station to the start of a great day. He knew a lot about pretty much every aspect of life and put in a lot of effort to maintain conversation throughout the day which made it a real pleasure. He had a good itinerary for us, but was very flexible if there was something different to do.
I am happy for the tour with Zack and would easily re book again

Zack was an amazing guide! We managed to see so much in 1 day. Well worth the visa and trip. Our guide even organised a mahjong set that I requested prior to the trip. The local knowledge and tailoring of the trip was fantastic. Plus the city was amazing, very different and lovely. We really enjoyed the trip.

A well organised itinerary and a knowledgeable host. We had a great day and packed a lot in for the time we had. It was reassuring to not have to think about how to get around as it was all covered. We were met on our arrival at the station and delivered back to the gate after seeing so any historic sites and having a great dim sum lunch. A huge thank you to Candice for being so efficient and communicating with us from booking to departure.

We had a very fun and interesting trip that was organised very well. We were with our son and all of us enjoyed the trip which was very interesting and efficient by time means.
We were also visiting a good local restaurant that enriched the experiment and learned lots of new stuff in a single day.

We left Gulin early morning by train to Hong Kong with a stop in Guangzhou of 8 hours. Thanks to Guangzhou local tours we were able to spend at the best our time to see Guangzhou.
The local tours organized us a tour by car. Our big and heavy luggage weren’t a problem because they were stored in the hood of the car, overseen by the driver for all our stay.
The guide speaks a good English and is very skilled to help you to show the town and the culture.
We tested a typical lunch suggested by the guide.
It was a good experience.
