Great tour! - I booked this tour and the Yongfu Temple tour. Forrest is an amazing guide and I was not disappointed. He is very knowledgeable (I learned so much about Hangzhou and the history there) and accommodating, even helping store my luggage after the tour when I had extra time before my flight! I will definitely book another tour with Forrest the next time I am in Hangzhou!

Authentic experience! - This tour is beyond my expectation. I saw such a beautiful tea plantation and plucked tea leaves in person. I had a great guide Forrest, he was so attentive and knowledgeable. I would recommend his service if you happen to go to Hangzhou.

A tour with Forrest is definitely recommendable - great tour & excellent English explanations - Today we took a tour with Forrest to the Longjing Tea Plantage and the Hangzhou Tea Museum. Forrest picked us up at our hotel at our convenient time and took us to the Longjing tea plantages to pick our own tea. He studied Tourism and English and gave us excellent English explanations about tea and the history of Hangzhou. Afterwards we visited the state-owned Tea House where we enjoyed Longjing Tea of highest quality and could also buy some tea. In the end we visited the Hangzhou Tea Museum, which is very recommendable, too. If wished he also has some great recommendations for affordable, local restaurants. Forrest was reachable via WeChat for us (just search his number) and fully adapted the program and timing to our needs. We can absolutely recommend his service.

Great tour of Hangzhou Tea Culture - We had a great tour of local tea culture and history with Forrest. Forrest was punctual and very professional. We enjoyed the tea plantation and the National tea museum, along with the tea tasting. Forrest was very kind and took us to Linglin temple and lent us his umbrella at the end of our time together. Highly recommend this tour!

Longjing tea field - Our tour guide Forrest was absolutely fantastic, he spoke excellent English and gave us a specular tour with great informations. He was also very personable and humor. The straw hat and the secret hiking trails Forrest provided were very unexpected and amazing. We were blown away by the beauty of the Terraced tea filed and would highly recommend this tour.

Great way to experience Chinese culture and learn about the history - It was my first time in China on business and I managed to book a tour with Forest for the weekend. My coworker and I got to see a tea plantation and learn about the health benefits of green tea , it was a spectacular experience with the most breathtaking views . Afterwards we also got to walk through the bamboo forest which was so peaceful . I enjoyed Forest company very much and we also learned about his personal life and about Chinese customs and culture . He’s also flexible if you have any specific places in mind you want to see. If you are in Hangzhou it’s definitely worth booking him !!
