This 4 hours half day private tour aims at layover travellers who have a flight stopover in Guangzhou with China Southern Airline and utilise free transit visa to leave the airport for a tour. Especially suitable for those who have less than 10 hours layover in the city but still want to maximise the time to view the city.

We will pick you up at Guangzhou airport to start the tour, visit some sites near airport area and at the end of the tour, drop you back to airport 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. Hope you understand, thank you.

We had a few hours layover before we could continue our flight. We used this time for a short trip. Damon, our guide, contacted us early and organized everything perfectly. He provided us with the most important information and impressed us with some highlights. Thanks Damon

We had like 4 hours freetime around the airport. our guide damon showed us some nice places and gave us the chance to try some amazing chinese food. We had a really great time and loved how much our guide tried to comfort us. For our overall 10hrs stay on airport in guangzhou, this was a nice way for us to have a good time.
