“A fantastic day in Guangzhou!”
We contacted Karen on short-notice when our flight plans changed and we learned we would have a day in Guangzhou while on a layover before heading to our next destination. Karen was great at proposing ideas of what to do during our time in the city, and was very flexible with adjustments we needed to make based on our time constraints. She took such good care of us - met us at the airport, guided us through some must-see sights and activities in the city, and made sure we were back at the airport again in time for our departure flight. We really have nothing but good memories of our little layover in Guangzhou and our fantastic guide Karen, who was so enthusiastic to show us her city - thank you!!!
Karen Z.
Thank you Jessica! I really loved spending the day with you and your family. So glad we could make the most of your short time in Guangzhou during the layover. Hope you are settling back well at home. Come back to visit Guangzhou anytime! ^-^

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Guangzhou thanks to our incredible guide, Karen Zeng. She was incredibly hospitable and took care of us in every aspect of our trip. Karen shared fascinating insights into the history of Guangzhou and recommended fantastic local places to eat.Most importantly, she took exceptional care of my 86-year-old mother-in-law, ensuring she was comfortable and safe throughout the tour. Karen’s bubbly, jovial character brought so much joy to our group and made our trip truly enjoyable. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting Guangzhou!
