Half day tour -- very enjoyable with a very personable English speaking guide. - Half day tour -- very enjoyable with a very personable English speaking guide. If you like a nature walk the Bamboo Forest is nice and peaceful. Note that it is uphill along the side of a mountain, so be prepared for some moderate hiking. Because it is not the season, did not actually get to see a working tea plantation. So the "Tea Plantation Experience" was skipped. However, visit to the China National Tea Museum was informative, educational, and well signed in English. Great overview on the history of Chinese tea and tea drinking culture. Dinner was tasty, well prepared, and eaten in a "tea house" style restaurant. All together an enjoyable experience.

Great experience - Despite the rain that the weatherman said would not come it was a great experience. Zoe took his time and explained everything well. Lunch was excellent and ordered by Zoe. The tea museum was great and the views still good despite the rain. Highly recommended!

Super enjoyable day with the green bamboo forest and tea plantation. Great relaxation in calm environments + Great Guide - Doris was a super friendly & knowledgable guide who was very willing to help us & share stories or history with us from the moment we met in Hotel lobby until we got dropped off on the next site we wanted to visit. The bamboo forest Is so lovely with all that green, calm atmosphere. Only a few tourists. We were lucky to hear birds singing and it was a pleasant walk to some nice pavilions. Be prepared to walk a few kilometers for this part but the pace is slow and environment so nice so you will likely not be bothered about the distance. Doris was happy to help with group pictures. Then we went on to the tea villages and enjoyed the nice view of the hills covered in tea plantations. We got to walk up to a pavilion popular to the locals that was completely surrounded by Tea fields. Very nice views & great pictures. Then we had a tasty lunch that was customized according to our desires and completely included in tour cost. We got quite a lot of food and nice Dragon well Tea and even some beers. As a bonus on our own desire Doris arranged to drop us off at Lingyin temple and made great recommendations on what to see. She also wrote a list on other places to see and restaurants for the rest of our own Hangzhou trip. Great Day all-in-all!

Interesting - Was a Interessting trip, our tourguide Doris was very experienced and could explain to us many insight stories about historical events from hangzhou.
