Had a great 3 hours...

Michelle_T, Jan 2026

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.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for the wonderful feedback on your walking tour with our guide! We're so glad he made your first visit to Guangzhou insightful and memorable with his stories and patient guidance. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. Hope to see you again in the future!

The experience was great,...

Angela_T, Oct 2025

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.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Fantastic tour! Mango spoke impeccable English and is clearly passionate about sharing the history and culture of her home town. She is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. It was a very enjoyable tour.

This tour was very very nice and my guide very knowledgeable and expanded on more areas which is amazing. She even helped me and waited until my transportation to the next place (recommended by her and actually amazing) arrives. Would recommend taking this tour to anyone ❤️
