This is a private tour only for you(your group), for the out of beaten track local experience in Guangzhou. You will have a full experience of the city from a local's perspective, with the company of a knowledgeable English-speaking local guide and a private car with driver to show you around the hidden gems in Guangzhou and have the traditional Cantonese dim sum for lunch.
In this tour we are not going to visit major tourist attractions, but to explore and understand local people's culture and life in the city. We will visit the pedestrian street(where locals walk and shop), grocery and vegetable market, local neighbourhood buildings, public parks and old part of Guangzhou to see how the locals spend their time in daily life.
And optionally if you like you can visit a local family(a medium-class standard residential apartment in a local community) to talk and interact with the hosts(they are Cantonese opera lovers who went through the "cultural revolution" in their youth). ^_^.

5.00We had a private tour with Zack, visiting old downtown and local markets. We enjoyed every single moment. Zack takes very careful consideration in understanding what we like and don't like, resulting in efficient and well tailored day out for the group. Transfer between places is very punctual and well organized. The place for lunch chosen is clean and serves wonderful cantonese cuisine.

5.00The 7 hour tour 'flew by' so quickly as we experienced the older authentic parts of the city as well as the new. From the new library tour, to the Bhudha temple, to the Shaking hands section, to the outdoor Opera it was all so enjoyable!
A MUST WHEN VISITING GUANGZHOU

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this city with our Tour Guide and Driver, who were most informative and most accommodating. Excellent English spoken and very fortunate to have them translate for us. Took us to authentic restaurants, explained the history of the city as when we were there in was China's 70th National Day which was celebrated to the fullest extent. We originally hired Guangzhou Local Tours for 1 day but as we enjoyed their company and learnt so much from then, we hired them for a 2nd day. Thank you Guangzhou Local Tours for the memorable time in your city. We recommend Guangzhou Local Tours.
Great experience

5.00We had a great time in Guangzhou. It was a business plus family type trip. And we were so happy to have Zack shows around . I did not know so much we could do in one day. We have 10 and 15 year old boys, and Zack was so good with them. Highly recommended
A great tour experience with Candice in Guangzhou

5.00We had a great time in Guangzhou thanks to our guide Candice, who put together a comprehensive itinerary for our 2 day trip. We visited the Canton Tower with amazing views from the top, together with a visit to Baiyun Mountain for equally impressive views over Guangzhou. Candice also took us to the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees. We had some great meals in local restaurants recommended by Candice, trying the local delicacies including a visit to a shop selling beautiful mooncakes for the mid-Autumn festival. If you're looking for a local guide in Guangzhou, I would highly recommend Candice.
Amazing tour and hospitality

5.00I took this tour while on a business trip in Guangzhou. I was the best decision I ever made. I got to see a lot of the City, visited historically important sites, had a wonderful meal and most importantly, my tour guide was very friendly, accessible, and willing to answer all my questions. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Guangzhou for the first time. The SUV was impeccably clean and new and our driver was very courteous.
Amazing tour!

5.00I had a great service with this tour company! The value for the money you pay is worth. We went to many places around Canton, and it was very convenient to make it with a private car. Highly Recomended!
