Had a great 3 hours... - Had a great 3 hours walking tour with our guide Stoney who brought us to see different places such as 荔枝湾 (Lychee Bay), 永庆坊 (Yongqingfang) and 沙面岛 (Shamiandao island) while sharing the history and interesting facts of each place which was truly insightful experience for us as we had a more in depth understanding of Guangzhou now. This is our first visit to Guangzhou and I’m glad that we had a tour guide to bring us around and sharing with us some stories which will enrich our memories and experience of the places we have visited together. Thank you to Stoney for treating us to the desserts and being ever so patient with us when we have so many questions to ask about each place we visited.

The experience was great,... - The experience was great, it allowed me to explore the beauty of Guangzhou on a solo layover of just a few hours. Mango speaks really great English and was very friendly and kind. She showed me a taste of authentic local life which is rare to find in organised tours. She also allowed me to use her hotspot and waited with me until my didi pickup arrived.

Guangzhou walking tour - Despite the rain, Mango made it a memorable experience. She is very professional, patient, and knowledgeable; she had answers to all my questions. I told her I was looking for something specific to buy for myself and she adapted the tour so we can visit some stores and find what I was looking for. The local treat also allows you to take a short break of the walking. I was initially focusing on the attractions close to my hotel in Yuexiu, but this tour is a must and I highly recommend it as an introduction to the city. The information provided by Mango is extremely useful when visiting other attractions in Guangzhou.

Insightful and enjoyable - Such an excellent tour. Personal and informative. As well as showing an ‘insiders view’ of Guangzhou. Having seen the technology side to the city it was lovely to see such a varied landscape.
