Wen Wen is a great & knowledgeable tour guide, catering our needs. Happy can visit West Lake at ease for the elderly 👍🏻
Wen Wen is a knowledgeable and wonderful guide, telling us much about Hangzhou. Awesome to have a guide like her.
We had a wonderful day touring Hangzhou with Minna. She was a really exemplary tour guide, knowledgeable and very diligent in touching on all points of interest, all the while being patient with us (both of us in our 70s!). We learnt a lot from her and her exposition of the sites we visited, especially the Lingyin temple and the Feilai Fung grottoes. As serious students of Buddhist history, we found Minna's tour significantly contributed to our knowledge. We would highly recommend her to other visitors. The gentleman who drove us around was warm, friendly and very accommodating.
Very good guide WenWen with lots of stories from Chinese legends and culture. Lake under the rain was gorgeous.
Everything was very nice. Very good organization: we received instructions in advance. Punctual driver. And a wonderful Wenwen guide who kept us busy and talked about everything in great detail.
We were very pleased with the tour today. Fiona our guide was excellent, She is knowledgeable and highly personable. We enjoyed her engaging disposition and helpful attitude. Overall 5 stars. Thank you Fiona for a very enjoyable day.
I booked a half-day tour to discover the highlights of Hangzhou with my two teenagers (ages 13 & 15). We spent a fantastic day with Lily, our guide, and our driver. Lily helped us plan the day's visits according to our wishes. She suggested additional places to see and organized exciting, interactive visits. We had the most vivid memories there!!! Lily is knowledgeable and shared her love for Hangzhou with us, always taking care of our comfort and doing her best to help us enjoy local specialties. Our driver was great: a large and immaculate car with AC. He drove us safely and was always right on time to pick us up. Alana was our WhatsApp contact who made sure everything went smoothly between us and our guide. She followed the experience proactively from A to Z. Her online presence was very reassuring. Don’t hesitate to book this experience: you are in good hands! Surprises and great memories are around the corner.
Rebecca was an outstanding guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely helpful in explaining how to navigate China, including practical aspects like payments and local customs. The tour was perfectly tailored to my interests. A great experience overall!
Lin was great! Answered lots of our questions and was very knowledgeable! The vehicle was very comfortable too for this tour.
I did the afternoon tour with WenWen as we did a day trip from Shanghai which included Gongyan imperial lunch in Hangzhou (highly recommend). Pickup was at 2 pm, original itinerary was WestLake tour with boat ride, tea plantation, and Heifang historic area. We ended up nixing tea tour but Wenwen and the driver were so accommodating of my wife and kids being tired. Every step of the way she was very thoughtful and has a wealth of knowledge on Hangzhou and Chinese history. In the end we had to leave back to Shanghai earlier than anticipated and she helped us change the train tickets. Highly recommend Wenwen!
