Walking Tour Guangzhou - We were very lucky and had Stony as our guide only for us (brother and sister). Stony was a pefect guide. He picked us up at the hotel on time, brought water for us and always took good care of us. We only can recommend this tour and would go any time on another trip in Guangzhou or China with Stony again.

Another side of Guangzhou... - Been to the most typical tourist spots is GZ... So when I saw a tour in the old xiguan area of GZ I gave it a try...
Our guide for the day was Ben... Who arrived 10 minutes before our start time, and who spoke perfect English...
We toured around the xiguan area, Liwan lake, canton opera museum, 永厦坊 area, and the ancestral home of the legend "Bruce Lee".
Learned a lot from Ben and enjoyed his company... đź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť
