The experience

Your guide meets you at your downtown Guangzhou hotel and travels with you to Canton Tower, where you'll take a fast lift to the 433-meter star observation deck. The 360-degree deck shows the old and new city lit up at night. The contrast between the two is what makes the view work. If you book the sky tram option, you get a 20-minute ride in a crystal cabin that hangs outside the tower at 460 meters. It's the kind of thing that either thrills you or doesn't, so decide before you book.

After Canton Tower, a short streetcar ride takes you to the party district near the Pearl River. You'll stop at a bar in the chic area along the water and have a drink while your guide points out the neighborhood. The whole outing runs three to four hours. If you want dinner before heading back to your hotel, you can arrange that too, though it's not part of the base price.

This is a private tour, so only your group participates. Local transport is included for groups of one to five travelers. Groups larger than five get a private minibus instead. Your guide is a local who speaks English or Chinese.
