Great experience with Forrest. He was very flexible on timing and when we needed to make changes to the reservation. He provided great background information on the drive and showed us where the tea is processed. My family is local and told me that the location and company is well respected. Note that the tea drinking session was informative, but they are also selling their products. However, they also gifted us 2 small canisters of tea.

I booked this tour and the Yongfu Temple tour. Forrest is an amazing guide and I was not disappointed. He is very knowledgeable (I learned so much about Hangzhou and the history there) and accommodating, even helping store my luggage after the tour when I had extra time before my flight! I will definitely book another tour with Forrest the next time I am in Hangzhou!

This tour is beyond my expectation. I saw such a beautiful tea plantation and plucked tea leaves in person. I had a great guide Forrest, he was so attentive and knowledgeable. I would recommend his service if you happen to go to Hangzhou.

Today we took a tour with Forrest to the Longjing Tea Plantage and the Hangzhou Tea Museum. Forrest picked us up at our hotel at our convenient time and took us to the Longjing tea plantages to pick our own tea. He studied Tourism and English and gave us excellent English explanations about tea and the history of Hangzhou. Afterwards we visited the state-owned Tea House where we enjoyed Longjing Tea of highest quality and could also buy some tea. In the end we visited the Hangzhou Tea Museum, which is very recommendable, too. If wished he also has some great recommendations for affordable, local restaurants. Forrest was reachable via WeChat for us (just search his number) and fully adapted the program and timing to our needs. We can absolutely recommend his service.

We had a great tour of local tea culture and history with Forrest. Forrest was punctual and very professional. We enjoyed the tea plantation and the National tea museum, along with the tea tasting. Forrest was very kind and took us to Linglin temple and lent us his umbrella at the end of our time together. Highly recommend this tour!
