Guangzhou-Tour abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade: Xiguan versteckte Edelsteine & Lebensmittel

The tour is interesting for the introduction to authentic Cantonese dishes and delicacies (to be paid for separately) as well as the less-visited areas of Guangzhou. Do note that the guide’s English is not perfect and some patience would be needed to understand him.

Walking tour was very good, visited places we would not have found on our own, food was ok. Janvi met us at our hotel and adapted the tour to suit us, only negative is he was too softly spoken for us to all hear what he was saying, so he often had to repeat himself or we found ourselves asking others in our group what had been said.

This tour was amazing there is so much history in Guangzhou, a place that is changing rapidly, yet still, in the "Old Town" retains its culture & reminds you of the China that was read about in history books. The Guide was both informative, friendly & you could tell he holds a special place for his work to show the rest of the world the wonders of China. Take the Metro, it is clean, efficient & mingle with the local culture from the beautiful parks to the Toaist temple to the street filled with Herbs & Herbalists ready to make you a remedy for anything that ails you, it is to be found on this tour. Ask your guide about Yum Cha as well as a fitting end to a wonderful tour: I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is going to Guangzhou.

I had a 10hr layover in Guangzhou and so I looked into walking tours. I stumbled upon Janvi's tour and I am so glad I did. Janvi is happy to customize the tour to exactly what interests you. I opted to have Janvi arrange a driver to drive us around as I didn't have a lot of time. You can really tell that Janvi is proud of his town, he has a great knowledge of history and will take the time to explain the story behind each spot. Try all the food he recommends! This was a very memorable trip. Thank you!

Janvi was a knowledgeable guide that has designed a tour that really gets you to understand Guangzhou - my day with Janvi was a very special experience. He loves and understands his city - his passion is reflected in the effort he has undertaken to produce such a superb tour, but he combines this with sound research and compelling historical information and images. His book is a great introduction to Guangzhou but you can't beat actually the experiences that Janvi took me through on this tour - awesome Janvi!!!!

This tour was great! Janvi speaks good English, we discovered the authentic Guangzhou. Walking through local, hidden streets to see local markets and the everyday life of people. Walking into The traditional Chinese medicine market, Janvi taught us what you can find, how to prevent illness. The Memorial hall of Chinese Railway engineer, Liwan lake park, Renwei Taoist Temple to learn more about the culture and history. And Janvi takes you to the best adresses to taste the best dim sum, palm noodles, Cantonese specialties, crisps, desserts in town! If you have just arrived, take a tour with Janvi to get the real taste of Guangzhou. He can also help you find whatever you are looking for! Just ask   and follow Janvi.

Janvi showed us the best of the city, the markets, the old part of the city where he was explaining us the history of the place and the best of all was the dinner, thank you again.

Janvi was a great host and very helpful , he explained detailed everything what to do when you arrive with China Southern and have a layover of more than 8 hours, without his help we wouldn't be able to know about the free hotel, etc... his tour and knowledge of the city was fabulous, he shows you the real and true soul of the city, not only the commercial side of Guangzhou, I would definitely recommend his tour and his company , very reliable, specially if you go to a city and a country where you have never been before.

Excellent Authentic Tour! Janvi was exactly the guide we were looking for: a local showing us the real Guangzhou. The choice of eateries where we could try the local cuisine was fantastic. During the whole tour he explained many aspects of Guangzhou’s history, culture and food. A very genuine person, Janvi shared his knowledge with passion. We highly recommend this “Off the Beaten Path” experience! Just check out his website and you’ll understand why his tours are so unique.

We can't thank Janvi enough for his excellent walking tour of Guangzhou! We communicated a lot via email prior to the tour and he was very patient and professional in explaining various options based on the timing of our layover. Janvi was even willing to personalize our tour to include a stop in a local shop to purchase a tea set for a wonderful price! We loved seeing historic Guangzhou and were so impressed with Janvi's knowledge of the history there. We also LOVED seeing the tucked away markets in the back streets and alleys. We really did feel we were seeing the city like a local resident! What a treat!!! We never could've felt so comfortable seeing all of this without a local guide and Janvi made the tour worth every penny! We can't recommend this tour highly enough. It made our long layover suddenly become a highlight of our whole trip!
