We had 2 nights in Guangzhou, so only had a day to see the sights. We choose the half day tour as we were doing the evening cruise tour as well. We wished we had more time to do the full day. We enjoyed our guided tour with Damon and particularly liked being able to select what we saw. The highlight was our lunch in the Dim Sum restaurant. The food was well selected and a great experience. Damon gave us lots of interesting information during the day. We would recommend him.

We had a day to spend in Guanghzhou and booked a 4 hour layover tour. Picking us up from our airport hotel, our excellent guide Damon showed us some of the heritage sites of the city and we ended with a super Dim Sum lunch at a traditional tea-house, before dropping us back at the hotel.
