5.00A 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.
Adventurous and Informative trip! Thanks to Damon!

5.00The 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!
Informative and adventurous trip!

5.00With 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.

5.00Zach 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.
Zach was one of the best tour guides I have ever had

5.00Zack, 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
