We really enjoyed our tour with Xaq. His English is excellent and it was great to have him show us his home city. He also took us to an excellent Cantonese restaurant - the food was great.

Hi, this is Xaq, pronounced like Zack. I am a Guangzhou native and have been providing tour guide/translation service for foreign visitors in Guangzhou for 8 years. I am proud of my hometown city and keen on sharing with you the colorful culture, history, landscape and people's life in Guangzhou. Apart from Guangzhou city tour, I also operate one day's trip out of town to visit the neighbouring cities, countryside area and beautiful natural scenery, like glass bridge waterfall mountain, underground river cave, seven star crags, big buddha mountain martial arts culture, UNESCO watchtowers and villages and so on. Please check out my tours, and if you have any special requests, let me know and I can customize a tour just for you and your family:) I would be glad to be your tour guide in Guangzhou, contact me if you have questions or need any help. ^_^.

Xaq was so knowledgeable and so accommodating! He goes into great depth on the meanings behind monuments, nature and brings history to life. Xaq also made sure the itinerary, places visited (whether sites or restaurants) are tailored to his clients' taste and interests. He was also very kind to my girls who are 9 and 12. He even contacted us after the tour to make sure that we were doing O.K. I would definitely recommend Xaq for your tour guide if you want to have the best time

We all thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Xaq! He is a marvellous guide; interesting, informative and amusing. Xaq took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch and chose an excellent selection of food. He answered all our questions and advised on other sights we would enjoy. All round a 5***** guide and tour.
