Fantastic day in Hangzhou

5.00We had a fantastic day with Lea. We loved the lake, the tea but especially the temple, that was very special. The lunch was delicious too. It was so interesting to experience china’s modernised train infrastructure and being of a younger generation Lea was able to share some really interesting insights into Chinese culture etc for the modern generation. The only shame was the rain but it was great that the plan was flexible to make the best of the day. The driver on the Hangzhou side was perfect too. Many thanks for all the smooth organisation.

5.00Wonderful excursion to Hangzhou, very well organized with an excellent driver. My guide, Roy, was impeccable in his English. He was excellent . He was very kind and explained in detail the history of the city and the various legends that permeate every corner of the town. It's a very romantic and charming city. I enjoyed an excellent lunch in a caratteristic and romantic restaurant surrounded by greenery. I had a great time and I thank Roy for his thoughtful assistance.

5.00The tour was arranged very well, everything went smooth the whole day. Our guide, Freya, took us to Lingyin Temple, West Lake, Hefang Street and a Tea Farm. All places was worth the visit. Freya spoke English very well and had a lot of knowledge about everything we asked about. The driver and car was also very good. I would recommend this trip to others.

5.00It was a very good experience. The guide was very friendly, didactic, punctual... he tried very hard to get the program, which is very broad, and gave us very good advice. Regarding the food offered by the tour operator, the restaurant is traditional but with a menu completely accessible to the Western traveler
We have a great guide,...

5.00Since I booked at last minute and during Saturday Winter Solstice weekend, I didn’t expect the trip would go on. I think Sunny Tours made a herculean effort to secure my train tickets. Big kudos to them. Our guide Freya was spot on. Always on time, friendly and informative. Bilingual too. She managed to arrange our transportation to all the places despite the huge crowds and jams. Her recommendations and instructions were clear and helpful. She knew we wanted highlights and we managed to pack quite an experience in a day. Highly recommended

5.00We spent a day trip with our guide Annie and had an enjoyable day visiting the sights in Hangzhou. Annie was very knowledgeable and explained the history and sights visited very well. It made the trip memorable. Lunch was very tasty and enjoyable too in a picturesque environment. Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed the day with Annie. The driver was also very safe and competent. Highly recommend this trip if you’re visiting Hangzhou for a day.
