Unforgettable experience - Private hangzhou tour was indeed an unforgettable experience. From the moment I started inquiring about the tour, the manager was very accommodating and answers my questions very promptly( Our tour guide , Sharon, was very professional at the same time very kind and fluent in English. She was able to bring us to a lot of beautiful places within hangzhou even in only 8 hours. She is also knowledgeable of the history of the places we visited. The next time I'll visit hangzhou, i won't have second thoughts booking for another tour with this agency. One piece of advice, request for Sharon.
