Sam (Our trip planner) and David (Our tour guide), thank you very much for the great service. It was very relaxed to have a trip with you. Thanks to the comfort the driver gave and thanks to the great stories with humor from David. We had a short time but Sam gave us a good advice of what to see in a short time. We travelled with a family (2 little kids and a grandmother) and for everybody David had attention! Well done! A very good service for a very good price; thanks again!
We came from Shanghai to Hangzhou for a quick day trip. Our guide, Tommy, showed us the best of Hangzhou within limited time. The itinerary was very well organised and well paced. Since I don't like rushed tours, this was very suitable for me. Moreover, Tommy is very friendly and knowledgeable. Although I speak Mandarin, I grew up in Canada so I am not very well-educated in Chinese culture. Whenever I didn't understand something, Tommy would be able explain the history and story behind each attraction in a very simple way so I can better appreciate the cultural connotations associated with the attractions. Overall, would highly recommend this to either solo or small groups travelling in the region - I guarantee you won't be able to find anything better :)
My trip to Hangzhou was the best journey I have had to China and this was down to having employed a local guide by the name of Bonnie. Bonnie speaks excellent English and knows the area like the back of her hand. Knowledgeable, informative and with an excellent sense of humour. I learnt so much more than I could have hoped for in my short time in Hangzhou by having Bonnie on hand to explain it all to me and answering all of my questions. We hired a car to get around and would recommend you do the same as there is so much to see. Make sure you visit Longjing Valley Longjing Green Tea tasting, Lake West and its beautiful park and the Lingyin Buddhist Temple. We really appreciated that Bonnie helped us buy the entrance tickets from her own agent to stay away from the long line at the ticket office.
Communication with Hangzhou Private Tour and our guide David was quick and easy. David speaks fluent English, is very knowledgeable, and has a bubbly enthusiasm about the culture and history of Hangzhou city. We were driven around in a comfortable minivan to see the main sights included in the confirmed itinerary as well as some hidden, off-the-beaten-path spots in Hangzhou. We were really appreciate David efforts helping us skip the line to get the entrance tickets during such a busy weekend. They charge an honest, reasonable price too. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a private tour in Hangzhou. Thank you for the beautiful memories!
Our tour guide was Bonnie who was very knowledgeable, communicative and nice to be with and showed us around the pretty lakes (A private boat ride on the canal of the westlake which was quite special) and pagodas and also the temple up in the mountains. Our driver Mr Chen was extremely polite, patient and attentive. We also stopped by an organic farm to plate restaurant for a very good lunch which does not cost a pretty penny. Everything was just so fresh, simple and tasty. We then visited a tea plantation and bought some very good Dragon's Well tea to bring back. In the evening, we attended the impression westlake show directed by famed director Zhang Yimou. All in all, hangzhou private tour ensured that our needs are met and tries to pre arrange as much things as possible so that on the actual tours we spend more time sightseeing than in a queue. He is effectively bilingual and keep in touch all the way to make sure that everything is running smoothly both with the guides and drivers, as well as the client. I would strongly recommend Hangzhou private tour.

I booked our hangzhou tours with Hangzhou Private Tour at the last minute. I emailed on a Sunday and they responded very quickly and we booked for the Tuesday morning. Our guide Tommy arrived on time with a very comfortable vehicle with drinks and snacks. We were taken to all the places that we wanted and several that he guessed we would like (and he was not wrong), West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda, Lingyin Temple, the Lin Biao Bunker, and the tea plantation. We stopped at an awesome restaurant for lunch: at which Tommy pick the various plates and again we were not disappointed. Tommy is a very knowledgable guide, good humoured and fantastic with kids. He knows Hangzhou well and can make quick choices that are to his clients liking. We were very impressed with his service we booked him for a second day. This time the itinery was based around our personal interests alibaba.com, hangzhou second highschool, Former Residence of Hu Xueyan, beautiful gardens with chinese opera. He bartered for us and got us great deals. Lunch on this day was near the tea plantations near west lake again his choices where great.
