Definitely take this tour - This was a wonderful tour. I live in Guangzhou and had been in many adventures but Ben took me to many I hadn’t been to and told me the history. He catered the tour to my interests — I wanted to go to a tea place too. It was Golden Week so we even went in to a lovely temple. I had a wonderful time and look forward to more future tours.

Delicious and delicate. - Delicious and delicate. The food in Guangzhou is the best. The old town is worth visiting if you want to know history and cultures of Guangzhou. Travelling in Guangzhou is not so difficult except for some language problems until recently the GZ government has had an interpretation hotline(+8620960169), which can provide great service for public affairs and government services. I used several times taking taxi and asking for directions, the interpreters are quite professional.

Not worth paying for - I was disappointed with this tour. It was quite expensive, so I had reasonably high expectations. Sunny, the guide, was very nice, but didn't seem familiar with the tour, and didn't have much information to offer. We started by walking over a kilometre the wrong way before having to return to go in the right direction. We had a pretty good lunch and then some interesting medicinal tea and jelly, but that was it for the food. I was expecting 5-8 food stops, not 2. To be fair, she did ask if I wanted a pear (something I grew up eating in Canada) or some rice jelly (which I had had the day before and wasn't interested in after the medicinal jelly). Overall she seemed less of a guide and more of a person following me around asking if I'd like to see something. I kept telling her that I just wanted to take the tour. I shouldn't feel responsible for leading the tour. It wasn't an unpleasant afternoon in the end, but not anything I'd pay money for.
