For yummy Cantonese dim sum lunch at a traditional local reputable restaurant, you'll probably be the only foreigner who eat here with local eyes staring, lol.

Amazing time, great stories, Xaq gives you a great insight to being a local in Guangzhou. Just a great experience

I highly recommend this tour with Xaq; it's perfect for a quick overview of Guangzhou in a few hours, covering its history, cuisine, and modern life.
Thank you for utilizing our private tour service, it's my honor and pleasure to help you achieve wonderful experience in Guangzhou.^_^. All the best, Xaq
Our tour in China was an unforgettable experience, and it would not have been the same without our guide, Xaq. He is by far the best guide we could have asked for. I'm a 13 year old from Canada, and he made every part of the tour fun and interesting for everyone, no matter their age. His knowledge of China's history, culture, and traditions is incredible, and it honestly felt like he knew everything. We wanted to see the world's largest indoor ski slope, and even though he had never been there before, he was happy to take us. Along the way, he shared interesting facts about the surrounding area, and we ended up having an amazing visit to the ski center. He also took us to so many incredible places that we never would have found on our own. Whenever we stopped to eat, he ordered authentic local dishes for us, and every meal was amazing. Thanks to him, we got to experience the real China instead of just visiting tourist attractions. He was always kind, patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible trip. Without Xaq, our experience would never have been this special. If you're looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing his country, I couldn't recommend him more. Thank you, Xaq, for giving us memories that we'll never forget!Our tour in China was an unforgettable experience, and it would not have been the same without our guide, Xaq.

Despite the very busy May Day holidays, Xaq adjusted his guiding schedule to accommodate me on this fascinating day tour of Guangzhou where we witnessed both the old and new parts of Guangzhou. I had a deeper insight into the culture, food and sights of Guangzhou through Xaq's expert guiding where he and the driver planned the routing to maximise the day fully. We had a delicious dim sum lunch where we tried 6 different food items, including an exquisite egg and milk tart plus panfried leek dumpling. My favourite two sights were the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall and the Nanyue King Museum which enabled me to have a better appreciation of the long history of the lords and kings who ruled over this part of China. Grateful thanks to Xaq for making this brief trip to Guangzhou such a meaningful and impactful one.
