About this activity

Discover Guangzhou's highlights in a single curated day: ascend one of China's tallest towers for revolving lunch views, explore colonial-era architecture, delve into 2,000 years of local history, and cruise the illuminated Pearl River at night. This private VIP tour eliminates planning hassle with hotel pickup, expert guidance, and seamless transitions between five landmark experiences.

This VIP private day tour will let you explore Guangzhou by visiting Canton Tower, Shamian Island, Nanyue King Mausoleum Museum, Beijing Road, and Pearl River.

At 9:30am, you will be picked up from your Guangzhou hotel. Firstly you will visit the nice Lychee Bay area in the old town.

Then you will head to the Shamian Island, which is famous for the European architectural buildings.

Then you enjoy the buffet lunch at the revolving restaurant on the 106th floor in the Canton Tower. You will also view the entire city on the 107th floor of the 6000-meter-tower.

It is interesting to learn the early history in Guangzhou back to 2000 years ago in Nanyue King Tomb Museum after lunch.

Beijing Road is a wonderful place for shopping and view food, snacks, shoes, clothing etc.

Take a night cruise at 7pm to view the lights beside the Pearl River, that is one of the must-do things in Guangzhou.
