Guangzhou is the capital of Cantonese food, and the place to learn the morning ritual of yum cha. Between the dim sum carts are the colonial villas of Shamian Island, the carved roofs of the Chen Clan Academy, and the Pearl River at night under the Canton Tower. A local guide orders the dim sum, explains the tea etiquette and walks you through the old Xiguan lanes.

Guangzhou questions
How many days do I need in Guangzhou?
Two days are enough for Guangzhou's highlights: Dim sum breakfast the Cantonese way, Shamian Island.
Is a private guide worth it in Guangzhou?
Guangzhou rewards local knowledge: timing, tickets, which entrance, which table. Our guide lives here, books the tickets in your name and runs the day in the right order, so you spend the hours on the place rather than the logistics.
What does a Guangzhou tour cost?
Our Guangzhou tours run from $149 to $149 per private group (not per person), for 5 to 5 hours. Entrance tickets and meals are listed separately on each tour.
How do I get around Guangzhou?
city tours use the metro, taxis or our guide's bike routes where that is faster. Every stop has its Chinese name and address so you can also move around on your own.
