5.00It was a great experience! Sunny (our tourist guide) was very knowledgeable about the history of the places and curiosities. I strongly recommend to request her for this experience.
Amazing day in Guangzhou!

5.00We had an amazing day seeing the sights of Guangzhou on this tour. Our tour guide, Wenmay, was friendly, super helpful, and so informative with the history of each area we visited. We managed to go to: Canton Tower (observation area and pay extra to do the bubble tram because it’s worth it), Yongqingfang area, Jade market, Shamian Island, Bruce Lee’s father’s old home, and a few other pass by areas during this tour. We customized it to our needs since we had gone to a few other popular tourist attractions ourselves. The tour company was extremely responsive via Viator message and even accommodated our last minute pick up time change and drop off request to the airport. My suggestion is to do a bit a research to get a sense of what you may want to see, then ask the tour company for additional suggestions to build an itinerary that will suit your needs and stay within a reasonable timeframe. I highly recommend this tour company and ask for Wenmay as your guide because she is friendly, gracious and highly knowledgeable!
Overall a good experience

4.00We had booked for two earlier, and then we had two others who were joining us. Sunny Tours kindly allowed us to switch our reservation for 2 for one for 4 just a few days before, and that is much appreciated. Our guide was very nice and informative. Our only complaint is that though the tour explicitly includes "Entrance ticket to Chen Clan Ancestral Hall" (in fact, it lists it twice) it was not actually included because it's closed on Tuesdays. Well, that's certainly understandable and I can't fault Sunny Tours for not getting us in - but we didn't find out that we couldn't get in until the day of the tour (and - a little nitpicky here maybe - we still paid the same price as if it were included). It seems to me that if it's always closed on Tuesdays this could be communicated to visitors whenever they try to book on a Tuesday.
Interesting tour and...

5.00Both Wenmay and her driver went out of their way to provide a day tour to explore the area our mother grew up in Beijaio and Fusan, just outside of Guangzhou. Wenmay's commentary was very informative , she also took lots of photos of us 2, we experienced an amazing Cantonese lunch - the best meal we had during our holiday in China! Wenmay knew we were short of time and went the extra mile to show us the Xiguan area even though it was getting late. I would highly recommend Wenmay as a guide, she was 10 stars out of 5! Also thanks to Sunny tours for answering our message late at night when our plane was diverted. Sunny kindly rescheduled our tour to the following day and that was a huge relief . Thank you to Sunny also for allowing us to plan our own itinerary and for always replying our messages and questions. We will never forget the kindness of Wenmay - she was very friendly and spoke very good English. A big thank you too for Sunny Tours!
Wenmay was just the best!...
