Review for: Guangzhou City One-Day Tour · Private car + English-speaking tour guide · Pearl River Night Cruise | Classic Sightseeing Cruise

We had an absolutely wonderful day with our tour guide Tommy and our driver Ajay. Tommy shared his extensive knowledge of Guangzhou's complex history and his local knowledge of the food, attractions and shopping. He took us to so many interesting places. Highlights included the Yong Qing Fang district, Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, the Cantonese Opera Museum plus so much more. The Pearl River night cruise was another great experience. Tommy looked after us every step of the way and helped us to take some great photos. When he realised I liked street art, he took a short detour to show me some! He was even happy to give us advice for the rest of our visit. Thank you!

Our party of four had a great day with Tommy. His knowledge of Guangzhou was insightful! The locations were great. Food choices were sooo good! Our private car was very comfortable…so much so I would like to be the EV car. The night cruise was noisy and crowded but the views were beautiful! I would highly recommend this tour!
