          Without my guide I would have been lost. Winnie was amazing. Knew in advance of what I was looking for and guided us to where we needed to go to find exactly b what was on my shopping list. Driver was on time and the service was outstanding. Highly recommended this service to get the most out of your shopping experience.

          We had an excellent tour with Marcy. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. My son and I left Guangzhou feeling that we understood the place so much better - and that was a lot to do with Marcy. She knows much!

          Canton tower and yumcha experience review
          We went with our tour guide Maycy. She is very professional and patient with two of our children. She can explain in english well and very knowledgeable about the area, culture and history. We spent almost 4 hours yumcha dinner, and sightseeing new guangzhou city centre and ride elevator in canton tower up to level 108. I would definitely recommend the trip to everyone of my family and friends.

          Efficient Shopping in Guangzhou
          I had a fantastic shopping experience in Guangzhou. Going to the markets on my own would have been a daunting task, but thanks to the coordination of Sunny and local guide Crystal, my shopping experience was memorable. I appreciated that Sunny enquired about my objectives for the day in ensuring that every moment of the tour was optimized to my needs. Local guide Crystal had extensive knowledge of the markets and fluency in both Chinese and English, she was a great companion. Thanks to Crystal's guidance, I was able to source everything I desired and more, all while saving both time and money. I cannot recommend Sunny and Crystal's services highly enough!

          A superb English speaking guide.
          We spent the day in Guangzhou needing to buy supplies for our business in Johannesburg. Sunny introduced us to Ben as a guide for the day. He speaks excellent English and was a huge help in getting around and negotiating with our suppliers. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of both Sunny and Ben. We will definitely visit for longer next time and ask Ben to take us shopping and sightseeing too!

        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.

        In the morning of a day of my Guangzhou tour, I was in Shenzhen. Sunny arranged a private transfer for me from my hotel in Shenzhen to a hotel in Guangzhou. That was a very big help and made my commute between cities smooth and convenient, without any headaches. By the time I arrived at the hotel in Guangzhou our guide Wenmay was already there ready to start our tour.
        Guangzhou is a great megapolis to explore, with plenty of opportunities to admire a wast variety of attractions, architecture, history and culture. Even if eight hours seems to be a lot of time, it is definitely not enough for Guangzhou. Wenmay went over and above my expectations and diligently put her talents and knowledge to make sure to deliver the most to me. I really appreciate hard work, professionalism and sharpness of both, Sunny and Wenmay.
        Thank you, ladies. Without your help it is impossible for a traveler like me, with zero language and knowledge of the country to get so much out of such a limited time.

        Sunny Private Tours, a Private Guangzhou Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights.
        As a tourist on a limited schedule, I was disappointed not to have seen more of Guangzhou. One itinerary destination was removed and replaced with another, one requested destination declined, spent a lot of time being driven from A to B, received very little commentary, a lovely tour guide whose English skills could have been a little better. Flexibility to the tour was offered, but next time I shall be better prepared with stipulating the places that I really wanted to visit.

        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 👍

        My guide was Julin. She was amazing! Very knowledgeable and kind. She showed me several parts of the city from a local's point of view which was great. The tour was very nice and there was water available and AC in the car.

        The admin organizer (Sunny) was not so helpful. I left my cap in the car and explained that I was flying out that same evening so I needed her help to get it back before that, yet she said there was nothing she could do, and later when I complained, she said she would send it to me asap, when it was already too late.

        We booked the Private Full Day Tour: Amazing Guangzhou Old and New Highlights and our tour guide Wenmay was awesome! She and the driver met our family at our Airbnb located in Canton Fair. We were chauffeured safely in a mini bus. Our parents are in their 80's and our tour guide and driver provided a lot of personal attention and care for all of us. Wenmay recommended a local restaurant for lunch and the food was authentic and delicious! The local shopping was wonderful. We purchased by the weight Chrysanthemum at wholesale prices. Also purchased special designed Christmas wrapping paper with matching bows ( pull strings). If we had more time to shop, I would have much more purchases. We visited the beautiful Sun Yet Temple and learned a lot about this leader, he was well respected. His wife is the sister to another leader who was not liked. It was all very interesting. I would like to return and visit again!

        We took the tour in a group of six people. Everything was adapted according to the group’s wishes. The guide did everything she could to communicate, as not everyone in the group understood English.
        We learned a little about Guangzhou's culture through its monuments and temples. I highly recommend the tour! It is worth it
