My guide X̌AQ was amazing!! Worth the investment. He contacted me the night before explaining the tour and took time to know me to adapt the tour if necessary. During the tour we had bad weather and some places were closed by the government, but XAQ was able to call in advance to the other sites included n the tour to ensure we did not waste time going to a place that could be potentially closed. He made a minor change in the tour to compensate the time we did not spend due to closure of the attraction. He explained many things about the city even if they were not part of the tour, so I learned a lot! The food was amazing!! This was a very local place (and famoius) that immerse you in the local life (something you do not see in popular touristic cafes). Also nothing is in english so definitely a place you would not chose as a tourist if you travel alone. I believe I was the only not local in the place. 👍 Because I only had one day to visit the city, this tour was an investment for my time and my comfort. Finally during the tour I had no connection/data then XAQ supported me paying with Alipay for me (my coffee and other things) I was able to withdraw money from ATM to pay to him. Very convenient if you do not have alipay, or have connection issues. I was dropped out at the airport on time. Excellent choice as I did not carry my luggage during the day or have to go back to the hotel. This sound basic, but there is a lot of traffic in the city and you want to avoid spending time to pick up your luggage at the hotel. I recommend the tour!!!
Great day out

Very well organised and took the hassle out of negotiating a big city on our own. Candice was very knowledgeable and took us to the highlights. She kept us informed before the trip too. We had to alter the schedule in the day due to big queues at one sight, but she had an alternative in her back pocket!

Xaq is a great tour guide. He is very fluent in English. He knows the history of Guangzhou very well. Our ride was clean and neat. He also gave suggestions on where else to go. I even asked questions even after the tour and he still answered me. He is a great guy.
A tour never to be forgotten

What an experience, what a guide. With excellent English skills combined with his in-depth knowledge of Guangzhou, Xaq tailor made our tour to our requirements. Always smiling, friendly, approachable and with impeccable manners Xaq is a delight to be around. Xaq’s knowledge of his birthplace Guangzhong is impressive and so his is knowledge of Guangdong and other areas and aspects of China. One of the best tours we have done and our most memorable. My name for Xaq is now Xaq ‘GBOK’ - Guangzhou Book Of Knowledge.
