We visited Baiyun Mountain and Sha Mian Island. It was a pleasant trip. Our guide, Damon, took care of our needs very well. He helped us purchased the necessary tickets to Baiyun Mountain in advance so that we do not need to queue. As my parents joined us for this tour as well, he planned the route in such a way that walking was minimised so that it will not be so taxing on them. When it started to drizzle at Sha Mian Island, Damon rushed back to the car to get umbrellas so that we would not get wet if it rained.

We had an amazing time with Candice! She took us to eat some of the best food I have tried in my life, she was really understanding and accommodating when we wanted to make some changes to our itinerary❤️ or stop and buy something. Her English is perfect and we had no problem communicating with her. Overall I will definitely be recommending this tour to our friends that visit China

Damon and Candice is super easy to work with. I like the way they tailor the tour to fit our needs. We are a family of 7, age from 10 to 80. Damon and Candice were able to tailor the tour to make everyone happy and enjoy our time in Guangzhou. We all love the amazing food; kids love the shopping at the huge underground mall; the Canton Tower at night is pretty; walking around the Pearl River in the morning is nice and peaceful… We can’t appreciate more to have Damon and Candice as our tour guide in Guangzhou. 😊

Had an amazing day with a very friendly guide Xaq (Zack) taking us around the city sights in Guangzhou. Very helpful and informative. Took us to a local restaurant for lunch and taught us the tea drinking etiquette. Highly recommend this personalised tour
