An excellent, flexible way to see Guangzhou

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an excellent guide who tailored the tour to our interests (and needs) on the day. We were able to maximize the time we had whilst allowing us time to recover from a long flight. Our tour van was spacious and comfortable. We highly recommend the team and tour.

A great layover tour

Published on May, 2024

Such a great way to quickly discover Guangzhou during a long layover. The whole team was incredibly kind and accomodating.

Even better than expected! Amazing tour.

Published on May, 2024

We 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.
