Our tour guide, David, was great! He picked us up on time, had a plan for us and ensured that we were taken care of throughout the trip. During the light show, it started raining very heavily. David went out of his way to ensure our comfort - he found us in the seating area, handed us umbrellas and took care of our stuff. ❤️

Great customizable tour led by a wonderful tour guide Emily and great driver and vehicle. We booked our tour during the October holiday and Sunny, Emily and our driver made sure we had good experiences at the places we wanted to go to. Emily is very knowledgeable and accommodating to our various needs. We’d highly recommend.

Emily was a great tour guide. The itinerary was personalized to the sites we wanted to see and we used every minute of our tour! Emily also did some hiking with us in the scorching humid summer heat. She provided recommendations to let us avoid some crowds and regaled our kids with classic Chinese legends that were related to Xihou and Hangzhou. The car was very clean and comfortable. Driver was smooth. Would highly recommend!

This was a private tour for our group of six. Sunny, the organizer of the tour was very good at communication. Virginia our tour guide for the day was very knowledgeable and did a great job of maneuvering our group through some of the more crowded areas so we did not need to wait in line. Being able to have just our group on the tour allowed us to spend time in areas that we wanted to focus on. We chose the lunch option but rather than have it at a local farmhouse, we let Virginia choose a restaurant and it was an amazing choice. Maybe one of our best restaurants for the entire trip to China! I definitely recommend this tour and this tour group - especially if you have a large group of five or more people.
