Zimi our guide for the day deserves a big shout out and more than 5*! Great guy full of knowledge & information for our visits to the west lake, tea plantation and Llnyin temple! Lunch was delicious and we enjoyed the bullet train too. A very long day but the boat trip, the temple and Kimi made it worth it. Thank you!
We were able to experience things that we wouldn’t have done independently. Car pickups were punctual and our guide Queena was organised and knowledgeable, giving a good insight in to some of the culture of China. A very enjoyable day.
A great day out with Kimi, my guide, who so patiently and knowledgeably answered all my many questions on Hanzhou and China as a whole. Tour was fantastically organised by Alana who took care of every detail including our very punctual and professional drivers at both ends of the trip. We managed so see so much in one day that it was unbelievable. This included a boat ride and a hike in a tea plantation and was crowned off by possibly the best meal I have ever had in China. I am really looking forward to coming back one day and my first call will be to Alana to organise more tours for Me with her team
We had a fantastic trip with Lin to Hangzhou. She’s very knowledgeable with a lot of interesting information, and we had a lot of fun. The sights we went to were amazing and the whole experience was overall very excellent. My favorite was definitely the Lingyin Temple. Thank you!
From pick up to heading home the experience was excellent. Kimi was very engaging and polite . He spoke English well and told us about the history of the places like a story book. Highly recommend the group and Kimi.
Great day experience. It’s a BIG day when hot. Lin, our guide was excellent. On time, clean cars, air conditioning, great meal and English speaking commentary. Have your passport and comfortable shoes, Lin did the rest. 👌🏿👌🏿✅
We all had a fantastic time. The lunch was wonderful, the boat ride relaxing, and the temple absolutely gorgeous and fascinating. We enjoyed the bit of shopping we got to do, and our guide Wen wen was informative, attentive, and efficient, as well as a pleasure to be around. I would absolutely recommend this experience. We are two families with teens and it’s pretty intimidating to think about navigating transport and activities in another country, and the tours we’ve been on make it seamless and so wiorth it. We can actually enjoy ourselves without stressing the whole time. We really felt paid attention to and taken care of. Highly recommend.
The lake, tea plantation and the Buddhist Temple are major sights, not to be missed when visiting China. Kimi our tour guide is knowledgeable, proficient in English and easy to understand. He put a lot of good effort to make sure that we’re enjoying this tour, and patiently answered all our questions.
We did this tour as a family of four. All the logistical arrangements with the transfers and entrance tickets were very smooth. We really enjoyed having Lin as our guide. She is very knowledgeable in her sharing and her English level is very good. We enjoyed the warm and friendly service today making our visit to Shanghai very memorable. Thank you! Highly recommended for anyone who is short on time to research the destination and attractions.
