Description

Welcome to Guangzhou, one of the world’s greatest food cities.

This experience is not just about eating. It’s about understanding how geography, climate, trade, and daily life shaped Cantonese food culture over more than 2,000 years.

Together, we’ll walk through Beijing Road, the historic center of old Guangzhou, while exploring authentic local dishes loved by generations of Cantonese people.

Along the way, you’ll discover:
• Why Cantonese cuisine focuses so much on freshness
• How traditional Chinese medicine influenced local eating habits
• The connection between Guangzhou’s humid climate and its famous soups & desserts
• The history behind iconic dishes like congee, rice rolls, and sweet soups

Come hungry, not only for food, but also for stories.

This is a tip-based experience. You decide how much to pay at the end of the tour.

Since it's a free tour, food is not included. I'll introduce you to different restaurants, and you can decide what to buy. The cost is around 100 RMB if you buy all my recommendations.

[IMPORTANT] Please help me cancel the booking if you can not show up. Thank you very much.

Хорошо!

Очень понравилась экскурсия! Девушка-гид отличная — очень приятная, всё хорошо рассказывала, уровень английского высокий, поэтому общаться было легко. Мы посетили четыре разных заведения в районе Пекинской улицы и попробовали разные блюда местной кухни: традиционный лечебный суп, рыбью кожу, рисовые роллы и молочный десерт. Всё было необычно, интересно и вкусно. Экскурсия прошла отлично, нам всё понравилось. Хороший способ познакомиться с местной кухней Гуанчжоу. Рекомендую!

The Best Way to Experience the Real Guangzhou ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was one of the highlights of my trip to Guangzhou! I've joined food tours in different cities, and this one felt especially authentic. Instead of touristy spots, our guide introduced us to local dishes while sharing the history and culture behind them. The coconut chicken soup was delicious—light, comforting, and naturally sweet from the fresh coconut. The biggest surprise for me was the fish skin salad. I never would have ordered it myself, but it ended up being my favorite dish because of its unique texture and refreshing flavor. I also loved walking through Beijing Road. It was fascinating to learn that this has been Guangzhou's city center for over 2,000 years and to see the preserved ancient roads from different dynasties beneath the modern street. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience both fun and informative. I left with a full stomach, a better understanding of Guangzhou, and several local foods I never would have discovered on my own. Highly recommended!
