Very Important Information
At the very start of the tour, I will suggest on the tips base on the number of people attending the tour. This is just recommendation and it’s NOT compulsory. If you think I’m doing a not-so-good job, or you don’t agree on my suggested tip, or you have financial difficulties, it’s totally fine to give tips based on your opinion. That’s how free walking tour works!
As for my suggestion, it is based on the market price, and I have every confidence that you cannot find any other guide who has decent English, excellent education and ample knowledge of social sciences in Guangzhou lower than that.
