Guide and driver are courteay, punctual. Florence is fluently bilingual and her local historical narration on the visit to Xi Hu and Ling Yin Si makes the entire trip enjoyable with ancedotes and legends stories including backstories. Her recomendation of lunch at Green Tea Restaurant is a hit with everyone from starters to desserts. Awesome trip itineries without over exhaustive and overaching goals. Just enough for family of 6 to pan thru the day from 10am-4pm.

Emily was very knowledgeable and was very patient to explain all the sights. We enjoyed the west lake boat ride and the temple tour. The tea plantation visit was also good and the tea tasting of the drink was good. It would be good to pick the tea leaves but because of the weather, we could not. Anyway, would definitely recommend the tour to everyone. Would also like to thank the driver, the driving was smooth for the whole journey, the car was spacious and he brought us safely back to the hotel.

Great day with our guide Sarah! Our group of 4 was picked up and returned to train station. Efficient driver. Enjoyed West Lake, tea plantation visit and Linglin Temple. Recommend this tour as you can customize. Note: train station large and busy. Get precise meeting point for pickup (we had some confusion).

Jim was an amazing tour guide, who took care of us all day. Didn’t even have lunch himself. It was very hot when we visited, so convince to have Jim who took us around. We went through most of the important sites in Hangzhou in one day with our 4 year old. Thank you Jim for your planning and hospitality. Our family had an amazing time because of you.
