Hangzhou is definitely worth visiting! - I was in Hangzhou for business but decided to take a half day tour around this place as well. Hangzhou is indeed amazing, and it is definitely worth visiting it! We have taken a boat tour on West Lake, visited a Temple with unique statues carved in the rock, seen a tea plantation, had lunch at a tea house. The views were fantastic! Many thanks to our guide Wen Wen. She was great, really knowledgeable and attentive.

Fun day exploring - Had a great guide Cindy, she was super knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We visited the temple, tea plantation and the beautiful west lakes. I was on a business trip so traveling solo - Cindy was super friendly made the day really enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Great and flexible tour - I booked quite last minute 1 day before and they perfectly organised everything. Contacted me via WeChat to ask for preferences of things to see and once we arrived at the station Cindy was waiting to pick us up. Very nice tour and super flexible to change and adapt to the things you really want to see. Definitely recommend

Great experience! - The tour provided a comfortable car for transport throughout which was highly appreciated. Our guide 稻草人 was also very detailed in her explanations of the various sites and was happy to accommodate our preference to prioritize the Longjing tea village visit. Overall is a great way to get to know Hangzhou if you’re short of time!

Wonderful day in Hangzhou and surroundings! - This tour was absolutely fantastic! We visited West Lake, tea fields in Longjing, had a wonderful time in a local farmer's house drinking cups of tea, then had a delicious and consistent meal in a local restaurant, and finally a tour of Lingyin temples. Our guide Carol gave us lots of information about Chinese history and culture and the driver was always here on time to pick us up without delay. Thank you for this amazing day & this wonderful experience!

Fantastic half day tour in Hangzhou - It's amazing tour with Lin. We have a very good time with her visiting the West Lake, the Lingyin Temple and the Longjing Tea village. Lin has made a very good schedule suitable to our short timing. We have had also very tasteful, delicious dinner at Green Tea restaurant on the way back to our hotel. Lin is super fluent in english, she very helpful and funny. We love to talk with her during our tour.
