Wonderful insightful day tour of Hangzhou. Private tour so we enjoyed the privacy and flexibility of the itinerary. Our guide Wenwen was very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. We learned a lot from her. Our west lake boat ride from ticketing to ride was a breeze. So fortunate to experience snowing on the lake 😊
Everything was great, very good guide and driver. A pleasant experience in a very nice place. I recommend it, they supported us in everything we needed
The trip was fantastic! We love it & highly recommend. Berlin, our tour guide for the trip was professional, experience & thoughtful. Thank her for the wonderful experience! Nice scenery & recommendations. Cheers from Cherlene & Family (From Singapore)
Fantastic, Our tour was everything we expected and more. Our guide Carol was informative without being over the top, she explained things to us clearly and took us to a beautiful venue for lunch. The food was divine .Overall a terrific experience, especially as I booked it from New Zealand in advance and did not know what to expect.
Did a full day tour of Hangzhou, visited Lin Yin Temple, went to tea plantation and Bamboo forest. Our guide Zoe is very helpful and informative!
