Best day spent in China so far - I had a memorable experience with Leeann the tour guide. She is well prepared, friendly, open minded with a great English 👍! You have the chance to slightly customise your tour, according to the weather conditions and time left. We went from the modern city to the old town. I really suggest this day trip with Leeann and Tony, the driver. I had a private driver always ready to bring us around with a clean and modern car with air-con (trust me, you will appreciate it). Five stars experience with no doubts 👍

Old and New World in One Day - Wenmay is an excellent guide and catered the travel plan to your liking. Lunch venue by the River is unforgettable with good food and nice views. Then there was tea at the top of the tallest hotel with overviews of the city. Thanks Sunny and Wenmay for the arrangement 👍

A fruitful "taster" tour of Guangzhou under an excellent tour guide - We were travelling in a group of eight, ranging from 60 to 70 years old. We were actually on a holiday to Macau and Hong Kong, and decided to go to Guangzhou to have a "taster" so that we can decide whether to go for a longer period next year. We were not disappointed. Our guide Ms Leeann met us punctually at 9am at our hotel lobby. She then explained a realistic itinerary for us, given some in our group cannot walk too much. We visited the Chen Clan House, the Yong Qing Fang Opera Museum and the Western Han Tomb, and had lunch at Tao Tao Ju restaurant at Beijing Street shopping complex. Leeann was very knowledgeable about the places that we visited. From the Western Han Tomb, I personally learnt about the short Western Han dynasty in Chinese history, albeit only in the Lingnan area. This short dynasty is seldom mentioned in popular Chinese culture such as movies. I strongly recommend the Western Han Tomb because of its completeness as a tomb, even though it is a small tomb relative to other excavated tombs in China. One disappointment was that the actual burial site within the tomb was closed during the summer holidays (due to large crowds) but the museum above the tomb was really worth visiting. However, if you do it yourself free-and-easy, you will not learn much. You need a competent guide such as Leeann to explain and put events in context and perspective. Leeann was also very careful about the safety of the more senior folks in our group, by checking on them frequently. At the end of the trip, Leeann not only dropped us at the Guangzhou East FastRail Station, but also accompanied us until the restricted area zone. That was a really sweet gesture, which we Singaporeans appreciate. Thank you, Leeann, we hope to catch up with you next year.

Good introduction to Guangzhou by a knowledgeable guide - We were a party of 8 seniors, age 60 to 70. We appreciated very much the special attention paid by our guide Leeann to our safety. She was very good in explaining the various places of interest encountered in our full day private tour. At the Western Han Tomb, she explained all the history behind in such details and I personally learnt a part of Chinese history (the western Han) not usually seen in movies. Thanks, Leeann, for a wonderful experience, and when we come back to Guangzhou again, we hope to catch up with you!

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!
