Very nice day around Guangzhou on private tour with Wenmay. - Very nice experience with my daughters visiting Guangzhou. Wenmay was wonderfull, she really loved to guide us through her city. Her English is impeccable. She took our wishes onboard and adapted her tour to suit us and the rainy weather. Lunch was delicious and in a very nice setting. The driver also was good, we had a nice spacious car to room around the city!
I really recommend this tour!

Guangzhou City Tour - We had a great time during this tour. Our guide is Ms. LeeAnn. She was very helpful with the needs of our group. Since we have an elderly with us, she was very mindful that we are taking our time as we walk. She is knowledgeable of the sites we went to. We learn new things about Guangzhou in this tour. Mr. Wang, our driver, was also helpful in the arrangement of our itinerary. The food in our lunch was superb. We would recommend this tour and Ms. LeeAnn for the guide.

Fantastic Guide and Day in Guangzhou! - Leeann was wonderful! We loved her! She had great ideas but also tailored the tour to our family! We saw some of the historic parts of the city but also a lot of the new architecture. She made all of the travel details so easy for us and was always helpful in the weeks ahead of time to help plan. Guangzhou was amazing but Leeann was a big part of that. Everyone in my family really enjoyed her and the day!

The beautiful history of Guangzhou - We took the tour in a group of six people. Everything was adapted according to the group’s wishes. The guide did everything she could to communicate, as not everyone in the group understood English.
We learned a little about Guangzhou's culture through its monuments and temples. I highly recommend the tour! It is worth it

Excellent tour in Guangzhou - I booked this tour by agoda, and Sunny tours handled it.
The tour company checked the booked information in advance, also feedback is so fast.
A driver was really good.
Moreover, the tour guide “Ms. Leeann” was very kind and professional. Because of her, I got unfogettable memories in Guangzhou.
I strongly recommend this tour.

They shouldnt complain about where we want to visit as long as its within city limits and time frame - Our guide Leean is very nice and made effort to accomodate our requests. Driver also good. But initially company removed 3 places on my list because there isnt enough time. I argued all places are nearby and I know it can be done. Then she said she doesnt know the 2 places. I had to send her photos which I googled when she could easily do the same. I am the foreigner and she is the local so how come I know and she doesnt? I told them its up to me to choose places as long as its within city limit. And if I exceed time then I pay. They shouldnt try to shortchange! In fact we finished in less than 8 hour limit. They shouldnt try to shortchange customers!
