We visited Guangzhou in February 2016 and found ourselves a bit overwhelmed by what to do and see, so we decided to seek a guide. Hillary was recommended to us by another personal guide that was unavailable for the date we needed. We arranged for Hillary to meet us at our hotel to go walking throughout the Old Guangzhou area- which has yet to be overtaken by skyscrapers. Hillary gave us suggestions of places to see that we had not visited, such as Chen Clan Academy, Beijing Rd etc. We also enjoy seeing temples and Hillary was sure enough to add a few for us to see along the way. She also sent a list of other temples to visit for the next day, they were located in nearby cities in Guangzhou. A great recommendation of hers was the Yip Man museum/Daoist Temple. My husband and I are a bit more unconventional travelers, we enjoyed most just going to eat and having the menu translated and writing down tips of food to order the next day when we wouldn't have Hillary. She was also kind enough to assist my husband in getting his jeans repaired at a nearby tailor shop. Hillary was also patient with us as we had to make an impromptu shopping trip to buy an extra layer of clothing as it was quite cold in Guangzhou at that time. Hillary spoke English and was clear to understand. She was professional and knew some nice places to see as well as good restaurants. I would recommend Hillary for a day trip in the city of Guangzhou.
