We take you off-the-beaten track and bring you on an authentic experience from Old to New Canton: from the traditional and historic neighborhoods, to the shiny skyscrapers of modern China. On this leisurely ride, you visit historic buildings, a family temple, Kungfu studio, traditional market, People's Park, Beijing Road, the Pearl River, and the Canton Tower, Opera House and other modern skyscrapers of new town.
Ride our classic 'Phoenix' bicycles, which give you the feel of the old China. But don't worry, we improved the brakes, added a comfortable seat and did other modifications for your safety and convenience.

5.00We had a fantastic cycle tour of Guangzhou with Sia as our guide. Sia looked after us absolutely perfectly - she was fun and informative and elevated what would have been a great experience into an unforgettable one. Highly recommended - perfect way to see the old and new towns.
Amazing!

5.00My cycling tour through Guangzhou today was absolutely amazing. From start to finish, it was one of the best and most enriching travel experiences I’ve ever had. My tour guide, Sia, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and impressively well-prepared. She brought along historical photos that allowed me to compare the city’s past with what it looks like today, which added so much depth to everything we saw. We cycled through small alleys and hidden corners that I would never have discovered as a regular tourist. I had the chance to ask all my questions and she answered all of them patiently. She showed me everyday local life and shared insights into customs, culture, and routines that you simply don’t see when visiting a city in the usual wa (she also gave me restaurant recommendations, which i greatly appreciated). I learned a lot, had a fantastic time, and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to truly understand the city with its history, its culture, and its people. An unforgettable experience. 10/10!
Memorable first time in Guangzhou

5.00There’s no better way to explore a city for the first time than by bicycle, in my opinion. You can really get around and take so much in. This time, I spent the afternoon with Yu, my friendly, knowledgeable tour guide and a Guangzhou local. We rode through the old town while she shared stories about its culture and history, stopped by a wet market to try exotic fruits and enjoyed delicious Cantonese desserts. In between we took a break at People’s park, chatted about this and that and connected with Cantonese people along the way. The tour ended at the shore of Pearl river opposite of Canton tower with a beautiful and luminous view of Guangzhou’s evening skyline. If you're someone who enjoys a laid-back, authentic experience which is mostly off the beaten path, I’d highly recommend this tour.
A unique perspective of a city rich in history

5.00My husband and I greatly enjoyed this bicycling trip with our guide, Yu. We had fun meandering through old alleyways, soaking in the history of Guangzhou and tasting wonderful local snacks. Without a knowledgeable guide like Yu we probably wouldn't dare to negotiate the busy streets on a bike. This tour will definitely give you a one-of-a-kind perspectives of Guangzhou. We can highly recommend it.
Local, relaxed and fun!

5.00I booked the tour last minute and I was the only one and still they continued! Yu was my tour guide, she was funny, smart and kind. She gave me an insight how locals live and told me about the history. I hope more people will get the change to do this tour!
Top notch cycle tour experience

5.00We only had two full days in Guangzhou and used our first day to do Old to New City Tour with Yu as our guide. Prior to arriving, communication with Cycle Canton Brahm was easy and super helpful. On the tour Yu was FANTASTIC. She was fun and pitched everything JUST RIGHT. She was super helpful and set us up for a great second day in Guangzhou after seeing a taster of sights while cycling. We were delighted with Cycle Canton and we were so pleased that we made the decision to hinge our stop over around this cycle.
Great Cycling Experience

5.00We had an amazing afternoon with our guide Cherry on this fun bicycle tour. We got to see another part of Guangzhou we hadn’t seen yet. We rode around the back streets and checked out some of the history and local markets and parks. Can highly recommend this as a great afternoon activity..

5.00I can only recommend how well organized this cycle tour was. Nicole was very helpful and gave us all the time needed to ask questions. Al's the games in the park were fun. We did this with a 12 year old. And even this felt very safe in the busy traffic.
