Wonderful show! We truly loved the show, it adds a modern twist to the ancient tradition of acrobatics! Our tour was very friendly, amicable, and attentive to all our needs. The evening with a wonderful dinner, and a new part of Shanghai that we had not explored.

Although Tom was extremely pleasant companion and I had great time chatting with him about life, i found this trip a waste of time and money. The description on tripadvisor is really fooling and way too exciting for what you actually get (plus some parts never take place such as the trail). The trip itself - out of 9 hours in total 6 was just on the road with crazy driving which made me quite uncomfortable. The lake - very nice but we spent very little time there, almost running through the park; the boat ride was 15-20min only. The lunch - very low quality. The tea ceremony - nice place but the whole ceremony was 2min, the rest was all about convincing you to buy their products which was extremely annoying; no time to walk around the fields. The pagoda - 1 pagoda that can be seen in 15min. That's it. Then we left. Out of 9 hours the real deal took around 1 hour and a half in total. All in all, it was WAY overpriced for what they offer and I will absolutely not recommend it. Please also read the reviews on viatar - they give a good overview of what you should expect and mostly share my opinion.

The trip to Hangzhou was more then we expected. Our Guide Lynn kept us informed the whole trip. We had a great boat trip on the lake which Lynn explained all the history of the temples in the area. We enjoyed our time at the Tea Mountain and the history of Tea Making. The trip on the bullet train was the best way to travel.

We were very pleased with the excellent service from our guide Tom, he communicated well in English and provided an interesting commentary of this amazing area. The only issue was sitting in traffic for a couple of hours. Understand this is unavoidable in these huge cities, one must put up with the delays to China's beautiful countryside. Pleasantly surprised at the clean cities, roads and the huge tree planting taking place every where on can see.

The tour was fair, they brought you to Hangzhou but at times the tour became rushed. In particular the boat ride on Hangzhou was a one way transportation ferry as opposed to the antique tour boats other tours use. Hangzhou itself however is BEAUTIFUL, I just wish the tour arranged to spend more time in the lake park.
