Free walking tours in Guangzhou

Lin was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time during this tour. I particularly enjoyed Shamian Island, it is such a charming and picturesque area, with its colonial architecture it felt like stepping back in time. However, what really stood out was Lin's dedication. Even though the official tour time ended, she stayed longer with us to make sure we saw everything and answered all our questions. She shared so many interesting stories and insights about Guangzhou’s history and culture. If you’re visiting Guangzhou, I highly recommend booking a tour with her. Thank you Lin!

Lin took a lot of time to show us around and explore local places. She was well prepared, gave us lots of information and her tips for after the tour were gold.

Lin is an amazing guide, great knowledge of local history and culture. Interesting stories and she has a genuine interest in the experience of her guests.

One of the better walking tours that I have done as a solo traveller. It was a good introduction to Guangzhou and as I was the only one there, it felt more personalised and just like a casual hang out with a friend. Janet was very friendly and knowledgeable and showed great flexibility, tailoring the tour to accommodate me. I enjoyed the amount of exploring that we did and the addition of going to hidden areas that weren't listed in the original tour. She even joined me for lunch with a recommendation she had in the Beijing Road Area. Overall, this tour was a fantastic way to ease into the rhythm of Guangzhou, and I would highly recommend it to other travellers — especially those looking for a flexible, insightful, and welcoming introduction to the city.

Lin was superb, great informative tour guide. Tour lasted longer than 4 hrs as we were all enjoying each other’s company. Will definitely tour with her again. Thank you very much Lin

Great tour! The places we visited were all very interesting, well chosen,, commentary from Lin very helpful in understanding the culture and history. I also enjoyed a lot talking with Lin about life in China etc.

The guide is very friendly and helpful. She is very considerate and answers our questions to her best knowledge. She even gave each of us a complimentary portable fan due to hot weather

Janet was an awesome guide, well managed the whole trip, know all the answers and was kind and attentive the whole time. Highly recommend! :)

Even on an extremely hot day, our city tour of Guangzhou turned into an absolute highlight—thanks to our well-prepared and attentive guide, Lin! Right from the start, she equipped us with handheld fans, which made the heat much more bearable and set a positive tone for the tour. The itinerary was exciting and varied: Lin brought the city’s history to life so vividly that it felt like stepping back in time. The stops for rejuvenation tea and the childhood home of Bruce Lee’s father were especially memorable—a real treat for Kung Fu fans! I was traveling with my 6-year-old son, and Lin handled it perfectly: She engaged him with kid-friendly explanations and kept the pace just right so he never felt overwhelmed. This tour is definitely suitable for little explorers too! Verdict: Highly recommended—a fantastic mix of culture, history, and local gems, expertly organized with a wonderful guide!

Had a great experience. Would recommend everyone to do this walk

I had an amazing time with my guide! She was very knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about what she does. Everything was perfectly organized, and we learned so much while having fun. It was a truly memorable experience — highly recommended

The tour with Janet was really nice. We walked around in the city and she explained the history of the city as well as the context of the construction of the different monuments. She showed us a really good dumpling place and we had lunch there it was really good. Then we continued the visit in the other parts of the city and even rented bike. This was an amazing day. Thank you Janet 😊!

Li ist super freundlich und kümmert sich sehr um einen.

A very interesting guide. She is very nice. The Guangzhou visit was very excellent

Excente el recorrido, la guia Lin muy buena!! Ademas de amable, sabe mucho sobre la historia de China. Muy recomendable!!

The destinations listed are really beautiful. Totally different vibe from the center of Guangzhou. Really worth the visit if you are in Guangzhou, as you can see a different side which is more boutique rather than flashy modern lifestyle of Canton tower. We had good time with Lin. Very nice and quality tour compared to other free walking tours we did in Europe. Lin is a very kind person. She took care of us and made sure we are having good time traveling with her. Very easy to contact with Lin in advance via WhatsApp. Overall it’s highly recommended!

Li was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable about the area, was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome for our quick stay in Guangzhou. She took us to interesting places, introduced us to new foods and areas of cultural significance. Thank you so much Li, a great few hours 👍
