Not worth paying for
I was disappointed with this tour. It was quite expensive, so I had reasonably high expectations. Sunny, the guide, was very nice, but didn't seem familiar with the tour, and didn't have much information to offer. We started by walking over a kilometre the wrong way before having to return to go in the right direction. We had a pretty good lunch and then some interesting medicinal tea and jelly, but that was it for the food. I was expecting 5-8 food stops, not 2. To be fair, she did ask if I wanted a pear (something I grew up eating in Canada) or some rice jelly (which I had had the day before and wasn't interested in after the medicinal jelly). Overall she seemed less of a guide and more of a person following me around asking if I'd like to see something. I kept telling her that I just wanted to take the tour. I shouldn't feel responsible for leading the tour. It wasn't an unpleasant afternoon in the end, but not anything I'd pay money for.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent foodie tour experience. We sincerely apologize that the tour did not meet your expectations, especially given the high standards we strive to uphold. We regret to hear about the issues you encountered, particularly with the inconvenience caused by the initial misdirection and for the lack of detailed information provided by the guide. While we are glad to hear that Sunny was friendly, we recognize that her guidance fell short of what you expected and what we aim to provide. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will use it to improve our training and tour planning to ensure a more seamless and informative experience for future guests. Once again, we deeply apologize for the disappointment you experienced and appreciate your honesty in helping us improve. We hope to have the chance to restore your faith in our tours in the future.

Definitely take this tour
This was a wonderful tour. I live in Guangzhou and had been in many adventures but Ben took me to many I hadn’t been to and told me the history. He catered the tour to my interests — I wanted to go to a tea place too. It was Golden Week so we even went in to a lovely temple. I had a wonderful time and look forward to more future tours.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for travelling with us! Guangzhou is a fantastic city where there are many things to explore. Enjoy your stay in Guangzhou.

Delicious and delicate.
Delicious and delicate. The food in Guangzhou is the best. The old town is worth visiting if you want to know history and cultures of Guangzhou. Travelling in Guangzhou is not so difficult except for some language problems until recently the GZ government has had an interpretation hotline(+8620960169), which can provide great service for public affairs and government services. I used several times taking taxi and asking for directions, the interpreters are quite professional.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Foodies Tour In The Old Town of Guangzhou: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guangzhou.
How much does Foodies Tour In The Old Town of Guangzhou cost?
+
Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Guangzhou usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Foodies Tour In The Old Town of Guangzhou take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Guangzhou is not rushed.
Is Foodies Tour In The Old Town of Guangzhou worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Guangzhou, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Foodies Tour In The Old Town of Guangzhou?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Foodies Tour In The Old Town of Guangzhou suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Foodies Tour In The Old Town of Guangzhou?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Guangzhou can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Guangzhou and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Foodies Tour In The Old Town of Guangzhou start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Guangzhou within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Guangzhou?
+
On Outty we rank every Guangzhou experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Cycle Tour of Guangzhou, All-inclusive Private Day Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall, Guangzhou Tour Guide and Car Service With Flexible Itinerary. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Guangzhou?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Guangzhou?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
