Janvi · Guangzhou private tour guide since 2012

Janvi provides private and local tours in Guangzhou, specializing in Old Canton history, Xiguan neighborhoods, Cantonese food, local markets, everyday city life and airport layover tours. As a Guangzhou local tour guide, his approach focuses on helping visitors understand why a place matters, rather than simply moving through a checklist of attractions.

Janvi Tours has worked with international visitors since 2012 and has been recommended by Air Canada’s enRoute magazine and New Zealand travel coverage on Stuff.co.nz. When Janvi is unavailable or another guide is better suited to a particular group, an experienced local guide may lead the confirmed itinerary. Guests are informed of guide arrangements in advance. Our tours do not include forced shopping, commission restaurants or a rushed group-tour timetable. Learn more about Janvi and our approach, or review the booking terms.
