Our guide was Cindy and she was lovely - spoke great english and was very knowledgable of the area. We are now leaving Hangzhou satisfied that we’ve seen everything there is to see and it is a beautiful place to visit! She gave us recommendations on where to go for dinner as well and we got some extra understanding of classic Chinese stories we didn’t understand when exploring alone the day before. 10/10 experience. Would recommend staying 2 or 3 days if you want to see everything.

This was a wonderful tour - and our guide, Sunny, was perfect! Hotel pick-up was prompt, lots of fun facts provided prior to arrival at West Lake and a great cruise on the lake. The other folks on our boat were super welcoming and even sang to our group! Lunch at the tea house was savory, authentic and filling. A nice step away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Buddha’s at the stone grottoes were inspiring. A final stop for some souvenirs was a perfect way to round out the day. The logistics of the tour were seamless and we were able to enjoy the day with no worries. Would absolutely recommend this tour - and you’ll be very lucky if Sunny is your tour guide (English speaking)!
