Overview

If you have a layover in Guangzhou for 6, 8, or even 12 hours, don’t just stuck at the airport. Thanks to China’s 240-hour visa-free transit policy for travelers from 59 countries, you can easily leave the airport and explore one of southern China’s most vibrant cities without any hassle.

Your layover tours are private and tailored, featuring professionally trained English-speaking guide, well-maintained air-conditioned vehicles, and carefully planned itineraries designed to maximize your limited time. Whether you arrive late at night or during the day, we make the entire experience smooth, comfortable, and stress-free.

Choose from different layover service tour options, all arranged to include iconic landmarks like the Canton Tower, scenic Pearl River views, and the historic Xiguan district, plus chances to taste authentic Cantonese cuisine.

PLS NOTE：
SOLO travelers will use metro and taxi, while groups of two or more will have a private car.
