We had an excellent tour with Damon. Damon is very professional and shared interesting information about Guangzhou. Our tour brought us to areas where local residents live, work and shop and gave us an insight of the city away from touristy areas. We highly recommend tours with Damon and we are looking forward to the next tour with him.

Outstanding tour and service by Damon for the backstreet alleys of Guangzhou! Outstanding in terms of: 1. Damon’s expertise and insights as a Guangzhou native 2. The personable and very helpful demeanor of Damon who went above and beyond to assist us in any ways that he could including the booking and procurement of opera and museum tickets and personalizing our itinerary to flexibly meet our interests 3. In the space of one jam packed day we were able to get a taste of so many different neighborhoods in old Guangzhou which we simply would not have been able to experience so efficiently on our own. Oh, and we finished off the day with Cantonese opera in the park followed by wonderful dim sum. I highly recommend Damon as your go-to guide for all things Guangzhou - ranging from history and cultural interests to foodie delicacies to scenery highlights outside of GZ to business matters as Damon is a highly personable, capable and thoughtful guide!
