Guangzhou walking tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Despite the rain, Mango made it a memorable experience. She is very professional, patient, and knowledgeable; she had answers to all my questions. I told her I was looking for something specific to buy for myself and she adapted the tour so we can visit some stores and find what I was looking for. The local treat also allows you to take a short break of the walking. I was initially focusing on the attractions close to my hotel in Yuexiu, but this tour is a must and I highly recommend it as an introduction to the city. The information provided by Mango is extremely useful when visiting other attractions in Guangzhou.

Insightful and enjoyable

Such an excellent tour. Personal and informative. As well as showing an ‘insiders view’ of Guangzhou. Having seen the technology side to the city it was lovely to see such a varied landscape.

Highly recommend this tour

My walking tour with guide Mango was fabulous. Her knowledge of the city and the old town was vast and she was great company as we walked around the local sights of this beautiful part of Guangzhou. Perfectly planned itinerary for the half day including a delicious morning snack stop! Highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour if you want to see the ancient part of Guangzhou

The old part of Guangzhou was astonishing to see. So many interesting things and architectures there between the modern buildings. It's a small juwlery in such a big city. The tour was very nice and we got a lot of informations about the history and everything we saw. It was nice to know about it.

A very scenic, informative and complete walking tour of Guangzhou

An amazing walking tour in Guangzhou’s old town! My tour guide Mango picked me up at my hotel, she knows a lot about the city’s history and present time. She speaks excellent English and was super helpful and patient while I took pictures and asked questions along the way. I enjoyed the walking tour so much, we visited lots of beautiful places, parks, markets, temples, and more! A must if you’re ever in Guangzhou. Mango even helped me find my way back to my hotel. And we even booked an evening boat tour with her. 10/10 ⭐️
