5.00We went on a trip from Amsterdam to Bali. We had a long layover in Guangzhou (11 hours) so we wanted to make the most of it and see as much as possible during our visit. This tour went beyond our expectations! Our tourguide and driver were super sweet and knew so much about the city. After the tour we felt like coming back to Guangzhou asap to do even more exploring and try more of all the amazing food we’ve enjoyed. Five stars, and recommended to anyone transiting in this beautiful city.
Must do day tour

5.00Highly recommend this tour if you have a layover in Guangzhou. The tour guide was really enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Guangzhou and its history and went to some really amazing places and a really good dim sum lunch.

Guangzhou in own time

5.00It was first time for us to travel any of China’s provinces and we are we chose Guangzhou. The tour was very well organised and our tour guide, Leanne, was very professional, knowledgeable, and respectful. She took us to beautiful places and never rushed. Kids specifically loved it as it was combined with travelling to historical places, shopping, eating and plenty of time for the whole family to enjoy slow paced time. Recommend for families with kids, young and older couples, and individuals who like to know the rich history of Guangzhou without the rush.
Best use of your layover time! Worth the money!

5.00Great and perfectly organized day with a very knowledgeable guide. The tour was planned and adjusted to our wishes and time table. We started at the airport at 9AM after a well coordinated pick up at the airport. We then met our guide Judy downtown who showed us the modern and traditional sides of Guangzhou and provided us with many details and interesting conversation and guided us through a great Chinese lunch. After a wonderful and exciting day we were brought back to the airport at 7PM Definitely the best way to spend the lay over in Guangzhou.
Incredible, flexible and fascinating tour

5.00We had the best time touring Guangzhao with this amazing and very flexible tour. My mum hurt her ankle just before our flight and the tour guide and driver were super flexible in helping us alter our itinerary to suit, plus helping us to find a pharmacy as a stop along the way. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable with fun and quirky facts about the history of Guangzhao and included some interesting architectural notes about the beautiful city. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough and looking forward to coming back.
