We had one day in Hangzhou on a layover and this private tour made it count. Our guide June set a gentle pace, West Lake boat first while the light was soft, then a stroll along the Su causeway before the crowds reached it. She read that we liked quiet over checklist and quietly dropped a minor stop so we could sit by a pavilion with tea. Lunch was a small restaurant serving West Lake vinegar fish and longjing shrimp, not the loud tourist hall I feared. The driver was smooth and careful in the afternoon traffic back. Felt looked after the whole day.
