By Fiorella(Spain)04/15/2026 Interesting experienceI'm Fiorella, from Spain, and I took advantage of a business trip to Guangzhou to join a half-day tour with Chinahora with my husband. The experience was a huge surprise: it was dynamic, well-organized, and very interesting—perfect for a first glimpse into the city, its culture, and its atmosphere. The guide was very friendly and explained everything clearly and engagingly, which made us enjoy the tour even more. However, time flew by… literally! We were left wanting to see so much more. TIP: If you're thinking of booking, I recommend choosing the full-day tour. The half-day tour is too short, and Guangzhou has so much to offer. We would definitely do it again, but with more time.

By Vitor(Spain)03/19/2026 A Super Interesting TourI found Chinahora by chance, but it completely exceeded my expectations! My guide, Paloma, took me to discover the most traditional attractions in Guangzhou, with clear, interesting, and very engaging explanations. She also showed me how to use the shared bicycles, which made the experience even more authentic and practical. We visited Yongqingfang, a place where Lingnan culture blends seamlessly with modernity. There, we even came across some girls dressed in traditional costumes, which I found fascinating. Without a doubt, this tour is highly recommended for experiencing the essence of Guangzhou.

By Alex(Spain)08/02/2025 Enjoyable Tour of GuangzhouMy wife and I took a traditional day tour of Guangzhou. We visited Chen Clan Academy, Qingping Market, and Huacheng Square, and Chen Clan Academy was undoubtedly the highlight: it's a beautiful place where the Lingnan style is clearly evident. Our guide, Paloma, was fantastic; she explained everything very clearly and patiently, and was always attentive to our needs. We felt very well taken care of throughout the day. It was an authentic and very enjoyable experience, highly recommended.
