Overview

This private city tour focuses on foreign layover travellers who have a flight stopover in Guangzhou with China Southern Airline and take advantage of the 24 or 144 hours free transit visa policy to leave the airport and enter the city for a tour.
We can pick you up at Guangzhou airport or layover hotel to start the tour, visit the major sites in downtown or the famous skywalk glass bridge and at the end of the tour, drop you off at the airport(or your layover hotel) for your connecting flight depart from Guangzhou.
This is a tailor-made private tour only for you (your group), highly flexible and the itinerary could be customized based on your interest or special request. You will have a full experience of Guangzhou from a local's perspective with the company of a knowledgeable local guide and a private air-con vehicle with driver, and have traditional Cantonese dim sum for lunch/dinner. We will follow up with you to firm up the itinerary after you book this tour on Tripadvisor.^_^.

Important note: though most layover(more than 8 hours) travellers could get the 24/144 hours free visa to enter the city from the airport, Guangzhou custom never promise 100% permission for temporary transit visa application, if in any case you are rejected the visa and couldn't leave the airport for the tour, NO REFUND would be issued for this layover tour, as payment had already been prearranged for the private tour guide and car driver service reservation in advance.

5.00We’ve had a full day before our late evening flight from Guangzhou, but had never seen the area before. This tour was the perfect choice. Damon was a fabulous guide, made an interesting route, even saving us time with proactive ideas. Absolute recommendation from my side.
Perfect guided tour for a short transit in Guangzhou

5.00The private guided tour was amazing. My tour guide Candice was amazing - she took me to all the important spots in Guangzhou as my time was limited to only 5 hours. Our driver took us everywhere with ease. We saw a mix of the old and modern sights. Traditional cantonese food was amazing! I am very grateful to Candice and Guangzhou tours for this amazing experience. 10/10 and definitely recommended!
Wonderful experience with Guangzhou Local Tours!

5.00My guide was very helpful. It started months before I arrived. We very carefully planned the day based on my needs and desires. Once I arrived, the guide was very prompt, the car was clean, and even the driver was very courteous. I got to explore places that I would have never found on my own. My guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and just a pleasure to be with. Oh, and the local food places, WOW. I hope to do it all again soon.
