Guangzhou Tours

Come on one of our Guangzhou tours

Located in the flourishing heart of the Pearl River Delta, Guangzhou is Guangdong Province’s capital city.  Join one of our Guangzhou tours and see how since the Qin dynasty, it has operated as a political, economic, and cultural center, and even today continues in that role.

Known historically as Canton or Kwangchow, Guangzhou lies north of the Pearl River and close to the South China Sea, Hong Kong, and Macau. Its location makes it an important transportation hub and trading port that have seen nicknamed China’s Southern Gateway.

Ideal as a layover destination or as an additional destination on one of our best China tours, as China’s third largest city, Guangzhou has plenty to offer any China tour adventurer.

Highlights of our Guangzhou tours

Our Guangzhou tours include many highlights that can be experienced through a personalized private tour with one of our excellent bilingual guides. In addition to the set itineraries of our Guangzhou tours, travelers can enjoy time to enjoy a walk along Beijing Road, Renmin Road, Up Down Nine Street, which together show the city’s commercial traditions continue today.

Highlights of Guangzhou tours include:

  • Ancestral Temple of Chen Family – This Chinese tradition of honoring family is nobly expressed in the 19 buildings comprising the temple complex. Buildings in a variety of architectural styles popular since construction first started in 1890, feature beautiful carvings. Until being recognized as a “Cultural Relic” the temple complex was used to worship Chen family ancestors, as a family temple, family school and as a residence for members.
  • Shamian Island – Enjoy the history of this tree-lined neighborhood bordering the Pearl River which once housed wealthy foreign merchants, reflected in the different European architectural styles.
  • Mausoleum of Nanyue King – The museum houses the 2,000 year old tomb and a trove of funerary artifacts of Nanyue King Zho Mo who ruled from 137 BC to 122 BC. The tomb was discovered in 1983 and opened in 1988.

Experiences not to be missed on Guangzhou tours include:

  • Eat and cook Cantonese – Cantonese cuisine is not to be missed. Experience it firsthand, either dining in or learning Cantonese cooking yourself. We can arrange private cooking classes on your Guangzhou tour. Just ask us!

Tripadvisor score Great tour with Linda in Beijing

June 2025 • Friends

This is our second tour with China tours, and it was fantastic. Linda was our guide in Beijing. She was great! She was very knowledgeable about history and culture and a very kind person. Our group was a mix of young and old, and she made our days in Beijing interesting for everyone. We highly recommend Linda and China tours!

Linda did an excellent job to explain and teaching us all about Chinese history and give us a good insight to all the places she showed us. We were a diverse group and even got our three children interred along the way. Thanks Linda!

Tripadvisor score 100% fabulous experience

June 2025 • Family

The trip with China Tours was 100% fabulous. Everything about it was exactly as described. The tour guides were all wonderful, the hotels, and transfers (two bullet trains, two domestic flights) were amazing, everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great first trip to China. We did the 13 Days China Wonders & Pandas tour in June 2025. The balance was perfect between sightseeing with the guides and having free time to explore this amazing country at each destination. The high quality of the five guides along the way really made the trip. They were wonderful people without exception: professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The team at China Tours did truly great work in arranging everything, down to the last detail. Thank you very much for making this trip a really great experience!

Tripadvisor score The only way to visit China!

June 2025 • Couples

This is a fantastic tour. The tour guides are amazing- so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The experience of visiting the historic sites has been made far richer than it would’ve been on our own. We have left China with a greater understanding of Chinese history, culture and its people.

Tripadvisor score A Magical Experience

May 2025 • Couples

From the moment we were met at Beijing airport , until our last day in Shanghai , the service and attention to detail by the guides and drivers, was second to none! We opted for the ten day tour, to take advantage of the Chinese government 240 hour visa free TRANSIT permit , which was easily granted on arrival! ( arrival STARTS at midnight after you arrive! ) The vehicles and hotels were of the absolute best quality , and the whole trip was a joy! As every attraction has to be booked in advance , I certainly would not contemplate trying to organise such a trip independently ; and don`t even attempt to DRIVE in China!! At each stop , the knowledgeable guides would organise everything , and then ten minutes before departure ,would telephone the drivers , who would be waiting for us. Every attraction was well ordered and a real pleasure to visit. The standards of comfort EVERYWHERE were excellent! Thoroughly recommend!
