Our tour to Hangzhou turned out to be a fantastic experience. The city is in very scenic surroundings with a beautiful lake nestled in the midst of verdant hills and travelling between the various scenic spots was a very pleasant experience as the city is very green and well maintained. We had a wonderful time visiting Westlake and taking a boat trip which turned out to be very serene and relaxing. The visit to a tea estate was informative and interesting , and the green hillsides with charming homes was a beautiful sight. We also visited the famous Lingyin Temple. The tour was made even more memorable by our wonderful guide, Caroline. She is very knowledgeable, informative and shared a lot of insights about the city, tea cultivation and Buddhism. She has a great sense of humor, making the tour thoroughly enjoyable. There’s never a dull moment with her around! She is a dedicated professional who takes her job seriously and looks after her guests with great care and consideration. Thank you Caroline for these memorable experiences. We are truly privileged to have had the benefit of your company for both tours - Suzhou and Hangzhou and hope we can explore more with you on our future travels around Shanghai.

This was an amazing day trip to get out of the great city of Shanghai and see some quieter spaces. My tour guide, Caroline, was incredible. She was so sweet and knowledgeable at each stop. We enjoyed the Westlake boat tour, tea plantations (the harvest was cool to see and learn about), and the temple. The temple was particularly impressive after seeing others in Shanghai. Lunch was very good and my tour guide was kind enough to keep me company since I was traveling alone. She even made sure I got photos in all the right places! Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to get out of the city bustle and enjoy the beautiful green Hangzhou.

This is easily the best tour we have been on. The trip is incredibly well thought out from start to finish. Alana, the tour coordinator is friendly, responsive, very clear and detailed in her instructions. Berlin, our tour guide is excellent, personable and at the same time, a total professional. Her in-depth knowledge of the sites and Shanghai gave us great insights and a new appreciation of Chinese art and history. Transport from Shanghai and between sites was a breeze. Each site was breathtaking. The lunch venue was exceptional, we are still dreaming about the food we had on the day. Thank you again team for making this a memorable trip for us.
