We want to thanks China Private Tour giving us a great China tour to Shanghai,beijing,Xian by the high speed train. We had an excellent time and really appreciate they taking care of us.

Sam and Bonnie were our trip planner.Both of them did a great job. He was very nice and took care of us. It was first rate. The tour was well-designed, very informative, professional and a lot of fun for us and the kids. This is a FANTASTIC way to see Shanghai,Beijing and Xian by the high speed train, especially for any first-timers visiting China.

All the guides were excellent. All the guides had excellent knowledge of the sites being visited and a clear enthusiasm for their work. Our guide Carol in Xian was the most enthusiastic of the 3 guides and she clearly has a great love for her country and for travel in general. She really did a fabulous job. She was very good with the kids. My highest compliments to her– She was excellent. All meals were excellent - i would specifically mention the Beijing Duck and the Dumpling dinner. All the vehicles were well kept and it was clear that the drivers (especially in Beijing and Xian) took great pride in their vehicles. China Private Tour were excellent from start to finish and made our family tour in china a very memorable one.We have memories of the trip that we will never forget!

I was looking for a group tour last minute but the tickets were sold out. I was a bit nervous booking a private tour since this is my first time doing this. Two of my aunts came from Korea and they also have never been on a private tour. But they had a relaxing and enjoyable time. The driver was courteous and patient! Wendy was our tour guide and made sure we had a good time. She is friendly; she always answered any questions we had. My aunts and I were happy to visit Hangzhou.

Our guide David is kind and very humorous guy. He know everything which we asked regarding Hangzhou history, culture, people and etc. he speaks English very well and considered route, food, further last our journey. Car was clean and his driving also calm. He recommended restaurant for lunch and it was good and very nice place. Hangzhou is not easy city you travel alone especially if you don’t speak Chinese. Try with David first and maybe last of journey will be easier. I definitely recommend this trip and also our guide David you will not disappointed.

I have read many of the other reviews and they seem a bit mixed, but I have to say that if you are in Hangzhou or the region, (say Shanghai) and you have a day and night to spare, you cannot find anything as magical as this show, nor better to do during an evening there. I have seen the Lijiang Impressions show and that is really fantastic but the Hangzhou show IS worth the money! We were recommended by China hangzhou tour to book the VIP seats in the middle of the stage with only 40RMB more than the normal seats,the view was excellent. The booking process was quite easy with China hangzhou tour. They gave us the bookiig code and we got the tickets at the ticket office with our passorts and the booking code.Yes, I would say it's a "must do", but don't be afraid to take an illegal taxi to get away from the venue. The normal taxis in Hangzhou seem almost extinct!

We watched Impressions of Hangzhou on 3rd May 2018. It was a beautiful show with many many performers and stunning combination of reflections and colours. The show consists of some singing and dancing numbers on the water. I loved the synchronization of the performers, it requires lots of training and they did it quite well. It is a most spectacular outdoor dance show! a must see if you are overnighting in Hangzhou! starts at 1930 and tickets are usually RMB360 and RMB400 for vip seat. Webooked the show tickets with China hangzhou tour which was very easy and quite convient to get the ticket with our passport at the ticket office. The venue is just opposite Shangri-la Hangzhou, or at northern end of Su Causeway...

Hangzhou is a beautiful town, but it remains hard to grasp for foreigners (especially westerners I guess). Taking a private tour (for a day or two) really makes a difference. Our guide, Bonny, was a very knowledgeable and pleasant person. Thanks to her, we could discover magnificent places around the lake (like Fei Lai Feng), take a boat tour, visit the tea plantations, get some lunch at the farmers' house, etc.These are wonderful memories.She also brought us to high quality places (with correct prices) to buy silk and green tea. The Impression Westlake show was incredible! I have never seen anything like it. The stages underwater were amazing, the dancing was breathtaking, the music was fantastic! It might well be one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life.The tour fee includes a car and a driver, which is very handy.

Having visited Hangzhou many years ago, we didn't want to visit all of the same sites again. We booked a Wuzhen water town tour from Hangzhou with China Private Tour. The whole experience very enjoyable and relaxing. We were able to go at our own pace and Bonnie our guide was terrific. The car in which we travelled in was very comfortable and convenient. Highly recommended!

am so thankful for all the positive reviews about this tour. I am about to give another thumbs up review for this tour. We are a family of 4 with a 9 year old and a 77 year old elderly. We decided to get a private tour because we felt it was easier to manage in terms of time and places to visit. This was the best decision we made. Our guide, David and the driver, Mr Zhang was so patient with us. David is very knowledgeable and speaks fluent English. Mr Zhang is a very skillful driver. His car was so clean and comfortable.

Our day started with a pick up from our hotel. It was snowing on the day of our tour and David reminded us to bring enough clothing to keep us warm. We headed to West Lake and we were away from the huge crowd which was great. My son had his chance to play with snow and we had so many beautiful photo opportunities of the lake (recommended by David). We went on the river cruise on the lake and David shared so many interesting facts about the beautiful structures built around the lake.

After that we proceeded to the tea farmer's house for lunch. We found the food home cooked and my son (a picky eater) loved the chicken dish. We all generally enjoyed the meal. The price of the meal was average, I feel. We can always find cheaper food or more expensive food elsewhere but we thought of it as a contribution of the tea farmer community. We were happy with David's recommendation. We had a dining room facing the tea plantation which is not something we see everyday.

After lunch, we proceeded to a place to try Long Qing tea. Our guide gave us some very interesting information about the Long Qing tea. The tea tasting was lovely (especially after lunch on a cold snowy day). The lady explained a lot about Long Qing tea, how to brew it and its benefits. They were very clear about their products and pricing but were not pushy. There was a souvenier shop which sold snacks made from Long Qing tea. My son loved the Long Qing Mochi there. After that, we went to see the Long Qing well and headed back to a shopping street called Qinghefang Old Street. After shopping, we were sent back to our hotel and that was the end of our wonderful day trip in Hangzhou. We left Hangzhou with fond memories and David and Mr Zhang was definitely a part of those wonderful memories. I would recommend this tour for any family who wants their own tour as it gives you time to explore at your own pace. Booking a tour with them was very easy and seamless. They responded very fast and were spot on with my queries. This was a wonderful experience from start till end. Thumbs up!!
