5.00As a first time visitor to Hangzhou with a few days free to explore at the end of a business trip, I was looking to experience some of the local culture and see some of the amazing sights I had heard so much about. The booking of the tour was a very last minute thing, but the process was simple from start > finish and Sunny and the team were so professional and helpful throughout. Sarah was an amazing guide who I had THE BEST day with! Not only was she super friendly right from the start, but she knew many fun and interesting facts about all the places we visited on the tour; from the history of Hangzhou to the intricacies of the temple and Buddhism which I found really interesting. She really cared about making sure I enjoyed my visit (which I did) and I can highly recommend this tour to anyone who has a few spare hours in their day!
Great tour!
