We had a great action-packed tour in Hangzhou with Hangzhou Private Tours. They made our tour so special that it will never fade from our memories. They provided multilingual travel specialists so that we can understand the rich history of the country. Especially Sam, our guide, is awesome because of his knowledge, behavior & skills. Throughout the entire tour, Sam was there for any kind of situations or help. I will definitely recommend all to have their service.
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.
How can I book the classic two day Hangzhou tour? Can I pay upon departure? Thanks and regards.
