Forest was our guide. His English is excellent! He made the excursion so much fun. He has so much knowledge! We enjoyed the serenity of the experience and immersing ourselves into the tea culture. It was so interesting. Forest is the best guide for any of your touring needs in Hangzhou! Highly recommend!

Highly recommended tea tour
My parents, husband and I joined this tour as part of a trip to Hangzhou and it was the highlight of everyone's visit. Michelle was a fantastic guide, very professional and giving just the right amount of detail. If you're unsure whether to book a tour or just go to the tea fields independently, I'd definitely recommend the tour - we learnt so much we wouldn't have done otherwise, and it made the whole process easy. Finally, it was great fun getting dressed up in the traditional clothing. Thanks again to Michelle and the driver.

AMAZING tour- informative and fun!!
We were picked up at our hotel by our guide and taken to the tea hills where we picked our own tea. The guide provided much information about the history and methods for tea picking/processing, it was a very good time! Would recommend wearing long pants as you may be walking between tight tea shrubs.

We had a great experience! Pick up is at your hotel and once you get to the location you can even do the tour through the tea plantation in a traditional costume. Everything is explained very well and you can even buy the fresh local tea! Definitely recommend!
