One of the most memorable experiences in Hangzhou. Exploring West Lake beyond the usual tourist spots, discovering hidden gems, local stories, and centuries of history. It reminded me that sometimes the most beautiful places are the ones not found in guidebooks. ✨

A Must Try!
I had the pleasure of experiencing Hangzhou for the first time with my guide Vi. The experience she gave felt intimate and meaningful, you can tell in how the tour was guided the intention behind it is deeply passionate and one filled with love for the city.
As for activity wise the scenic view of the lake and the walking in the park truly made you appreciate the beauty and rich culture of Hangzhou. I would absolutely recommend this tour for any newcomer to Hangzhou looking to learn more and see some of the beauty of Hangzhou!

Amazing off the beaten path experience
Very cool tour to get a deeper understanding of Hangzhou outside of the tourist attractions. The guide spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable in the local history. Go here if you want something that is more off the beaten path.

Would definitely book again!!
Incredible tour, absolutely well worth the money if not a deal for the experience. The tour guide, Vi, was very hospitable, kind, and knowledgeable, answering every question I had. It felt like such a friendly environment with the owners being very kind and doing what they could to make it as relaxed and welcoming an environment as possible. I learned a lot on this tour without feeling like it was a lecture or like other tours where it felt like they were trying to hit their talking points. I didn’t even realize how long the tour was until it was done because I was so engaged that I was only using my phone for pictures. Would definitely recommend.
