We joined this one day cultural tour of Hangzhou as a group of four friends and it turned out to be one of the best parts of our China trip. The itinerary was well designed with just the right balance of beautiful scenery and cultural experiences. From the moment we met our guide, everything felt smooth and relaxed. She spoke both Mandarin and English fluently and had a calm, friendly personality. Her knowledge of Hangzhou’s history and stories made each stop more interesting.
The West Lake boat cruise was definitely our favorite. The view of the willow trees, pagodas in the distance, and the quiet movement of the boat made it such a peaceful experience. Our guide told us the story of the White Snake and Leifeng Pagoda while we enjoyed the lake, which made the moment even more special.
At the Meijiawu Tea Plantation, we learned how Longjing tea is picked and processed. Sitting down for a fresh cup of tea in a quiet garden surrounded by tea fields was a real treat. It was a nice break from the usual sightseeing.
Our driver was also excellent. The car was clean, comfortable, and cool throughout the day. He was polite and professional, always ready to help us in and out of the vehicle. We appreciated how smoothly he drove, especially since we were traveling between several locations.
Booking with the company was very easy. They responded to our messages quickly and even allowed us to slightly adjust our meeting time. This tour was perfect for a group of friends who wanted to explore the highlights of Hangzhou in a relaxed and well-organized way.
