Fantastic tour in Hangzhou

5.00today was freezing cold, but the views were like a million - dollar postcard! Our guide, Leo, came to pick us without a hitch. First off, we hopped on a boat and sailed across the lake, it was like we were in a fairytale. The Guo's Villa was so clear, it was as if it was showing off its best side. And the food suggestions? They were spot - on, like a chef had peeked into our taste buds. The bamboo forest was like a secret green wonderland, and the Six Harmonies Pagoda was standing there, clear as day, like a cool old grandpa. Big thanks for today's tour, and see you next time, no doubt!

5.00Our guide Leo met us at the railway station. We were lucky with the weather, which was excellent: it was a sunny day with very nice temperature. We managed to cover a lot of ground with Leo’s help and private transportation. Our first stop was at Leifeng Pagoda, a truly remarkable place. Next we took a boat ride on the West Lake, a very pleasant experience. Then we had lunch at a place Leo recommended at our request, which we thoroughly enjoyed and costed us probably less than ir was worth. The next stop, Lingyin Temple, is an exquisite site with a soothing atmosphere. Finally we visited a tea plantation, which was also quite charming. Leo's explanations were very good throughout. We had a great time and lots of fun!
Wonderful day tour in Hangzhou

5.00Green Tea Restauran Is the rockstar of local eats! You're staring at the full - frontal view of the Leifeng Pagoda, like it's putting on a private show just for you. When the weather decides to be a good sport, hopping on a boat cruise is like going on a wacky little pirate mission. And those folk stories floating around? They're like the wild rumors at a party, making the whole place feel super cool. hot green tea from the famous tea village. It's like a ninja sneak - attack on your taste buds in the best possible way. Thanks a ton, 'cause everything's been as peachy as a cartoon fruit!

Great tour hampered by ill guide

- Review from Viator
3.00The online communication for this was excellent, service great. Train tickets were easy to get and use, instructions very clear and easy to follow. Our issue was with our guide. I'm sure she is a very nice young girl, but she was obviously very ill. Her deep coughing and sniffling were very disconcerting, and the fact she didn't wear a mask or even cover her mouth, even in the car, was horrifying. I immediately put on my mask and tried to avoid getting close to her. And though the air was cold, we opened the windows in the car to allow fresh air to help dissipate any contagion. I think because she didn't feel very well, the tour was rushed. Finally, as her cough became much worse, we decided to cut the tour short. Again, the support person was exceptional and handled our request for an earlier train ticket back to Shanghai with ease. I hope the guide was able to get some rest and recovery time.
Awesome day trip
