Great experience in Guangzhou.

We had a 10 hours layover waiting for our flight. We booked the tour with Sunny. They came and picked us up at the airport exactly as we agreed on. Our guide was Wenmay who is very knowledgeable and speaks fluent English. The whole tour was better than we expected. Highly recommended.

9 Hour Layover

This tour was a great way to spend my 9 hour layover! I had trouble finding a tour that was flexible with my late arrival to Guangzhou, but this was completely customizable as mentioned in the description. Maggie was my tour guide and she was great! Maggie was super knowledgeable and was always providing insight even on the ride from the airport to the city. The dim sum lunch was delicious and Maggie made sure to adjust the order to my preferences. I think the combination of complete customization as well as the fantastic tour guide made my quick Guangzhou trip well worth it!
