We had a wonderful experience touring Hangzhou with Samantha as our tour guide. The sites were all beautiful, and Samantha's inside knowledge and positive attitude allowed us to enjoy it even more. She was very helpful with the elderly family members in the group and did a great job keeping everyone together. Highly recommend this tour and Samantha.

We had a great day trip to Hangzhou and managed to see lots in one day. The bullet train tickets were all organised for us, which made the journey very easy. We visited the Pagoda of Six Harmonies, Lingyin Temple, took a boat ride on West Lake, and explored Hangzhou’s old streets. Our guide Samantha was very sweet and friendly, and shared lots of interesting stories about Hangzhou and the places we visited.

This is our 2nd trip to China. Last year we visited Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, and Shanghai and wanted to explore more of China. We visited 5 more cities and found Hangzhou to be a gem! Don't miss touring beautiful West Lake and take a boat ride on the lake. Jill, our incredible guide, took us to Meijawu Village Nana Family's Tea House, for tea tasting with our lovely hosts. My husband and I had a wonderful time learning about the different teas and how to properly prepare them. A special treat was lunch at the Green Tea Restaurant. The food and surroundings are amazing! Another must see in Hangzhou is Lingyin Temple. it's a site that is totally captivating. We are so very grateful to Jill, who answered all of our questions in perfect English, and took very good care of my husband and me. We totally recommend a visit to Hangzhou! https://www.tripadvisor.com/UserReviewEdit-g298559-d19498241-Private_Hangzhou_Day_Tour_to_West_Lake_Lingyin_Temple_Tea_Vilage_Old_Pagoda-Hangzhou_Zheji.html

I had a one day solo tour with Eleven in Hangzhou. We took a boat ride on the lovely West Lake, then visited Lingyin Temple and 6 Harmonies Pagoda. We had a delicious lunch at a noodle restaurant, then saw an old traditional Chinese pharmacy, and we went to a bamboo forest. It was a very busy, very interesting day! Eleven is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I think you will very much enjoy spending a day with him in Hangzhou.

We had a beautiful two-days tour in Hangzhou. Thanks to our guide Carina (very knowledgeable and kind) we first discovered the nicest views of the West Lake and its park. Then Carina led us in exploring the wonderful Lingyn Temple, where she also explained the main principles and the philosophy of Buddhism. Thanks Carina!

Lingyin temple and tea village were very interesting. Visited a tea farmer’s house to learn all about growing and preparing tea, which was also interesting. West Lake is pretty, but not a must do. Did not go to the Six Harmonies Pagoda even though description says it is part of the tour. Our guide Susan was really nice, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. She was not aware that we were supposed to go to the pagoda.
