Highlights
- West Lake (Xi Hu) - Meet your private guide upon pickup at the Hangzhou railway station or your hotel lobby in Hangzhou city. Set out on a full day of sightseeing in the comfort of an air-conditioned private vehicle, and talk with your guide about any particular interests you have so the commentary and itinerary can be customized.
Start with a 35-minute boat ride on tranquil West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage site and perhaps Hangzhou’s most famous attraction. Relax amid enchanting scenery as your guide points out historic pagodas, Chinese-style arched bridges, tree-lined walkways, green islands and lush gardens.
- Huagangguanyu Park - Finish your cruise at Huagang (Flower Harbor) Park Wharf. A clean stream flows from Huajia Hill to join West Lake, and many flowers grow where the fresh water flows in.
Stroll through part of the 54-acre (22-hectare) park to see the many varieties, including a peony garden that blooms in April, and stop at Red Carp Pond \

Great tour, no regrets! - We are so glad we picked Your Way Holiday to see the sights in Hangzhou. Immediately after meeting Bonnie we felt like good friends and she was great. She knew a lot of history and her English was amazing. It felt like hanging out with a friend who knew everything. West lake was beautiful and we loved the tea town way more than we expected. Tip: have lunch at the farmers house. The food was so good! Bonnie was flexible with the schedule and was so helpful. It was such a great day. No regrets!

Hangzhou Guided Tour - Sam was an incredible guide. He was able to communicate effectively even though he is not a native English speaker. He was knowledgeable about Hangzhou, China, and the culture. He showed sincere concern that I have an enjoyable experience.

Hangzhou highlights in a day - We had a lovely day out with Bonnie covering the important sights of Hangzhou. Bonnie was very friendly and provided a lot of historical and current details of the places we visited. The driver who took us around (sorry didn’t get his name) was also very nice. The lunch at a local eatery in the Mei Jiawu village was nice and simple, and catered to our vegetarian needs.
Booking the trip and follow ups with Sam were very smooth. Recommend the trip for a good overview of Hangzhou.

The price of the tour was not worth it - The price of the tour was not worth it. We booked all inclusive tour in January. The car we drove was old and smelled of cigarettes, the driver was rude. my husband didn't fit in the back seat and had to curl up all day. While traveling in the car, we had to open the window all the time to have something to breathe. We ate lunch in a very dirty place, rice and fried leaves from used tea leaves with unpeeled shrimp was not good. What’s even worse, our guide was in a hurry all the time because she was cold due to the fact that she was wearing summer sneakers with holes without socks, where her nails were visible from the holes in the winter cold. We were not comfortable all day. The all-inclusive purchase upset us because when we were in a tea plantation, on a boat on the lake, in a cultural park, we were accompanied by group tours of bus tourists all the time. our guide told us everything that was already written on Wikipedia, stories about which we had already read, we are not happy that the tour was not worth the price, after such an experience we do not want to use your application on our next trips to other countries
