Look at What Our Customers Are Saying our food tours on their blogs…

Tour of Old Canton After two days of following Michelin, it was time for a change and we enlisted the aid of Janvi, a local tour guide, to take us on a Guangzhou city and food walk. Our first stop? Lunch, of course. Janvi took us to a local dim sum spot where we had three types of dim sum (small, bite-sized portions of food served in steaming baskets.)……It was all very good and we ended the day really happy with all the restaurants Janvi had recommended and taken us to.

Guangzhou as formerly known as Canton and is considered the home of Cantonese food, so food tours are very popular excursions in the city. In addition, there are more restaurants per capita in Guangzhou than any other city in China……And along the way, we saw seamstresses, cabinetry makers, and food stalls. Loud chirps echoed in the bird and herb markets. We saw people at play, rest and everything in between. And it was a great opportunity to see everyday life in Guangzhou.
