Great tour to Hangzhou - A very interesting experience. Our guide, Nini (Caroline) was fantastic. The boat ride, the visit to the tea plantations and the exploration of the huge and ancient Buddhist Temple in Hangzhou were unforgettable. Thanks Nini, for a great day in this town.

Private tour to Hangzhou - Today we do private tour to Hangzhou. Caroline is the tour leader. She is a very friendly, cheerful, and bright person. Going on this one day trip with her is very enjoyable. She shows us a lot of tips and is very helpful throught out the trip. She takes pictures for us, explain the history well, and she also help us order the best and most delicious food I've ever taste.

Request Caroline! What a wonderful day! - Great day on the water, visited the largest housed Buddha temple and had a delicious lunch. Caroline is very knowledgeable and kept us on time to each destination. Make sure to buy the grade A green tea from the local farmers. A wonderful gift and treat for yourself when you arrive home.

Excellent Experience - We had an excellent experience with our guide, Queena. She was very patient and attentive, and when plans needed to be adjusted, she always prioritised our welfare and best interests. Queena was also highly informative, sharing insightful knowledge about the sights and ensuring that we gained a deeper understanding of the local culture. In addition, Aleena—our main point of contact from the start—was prompt, organised, and very supportive in arranging the tour. Her gentle reminders and the group chat helped us stay well-prepared and clearly informed about the day’s programme. I would strongly recommend them to anyone considering a day trip from Shanghai to nearby cities such as Hangzhou or Suzhou. Everything was thoughtfully planned and well taken care of, from transport to food and service. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Phenomenal tour, precise execution of the busy day was very impressive! - This should be a 5 or 6 STAR review! Caroline & drivers were excellent, professional & personable. Venues were lovely & brought to life with Caroline's enthusiasm. The precision of time, cars, trains pick-ups impeccable! I was asked by Alana (owner) to give a 5 star review. It is obvious she pressurizes her employees to remind clients to leave 5 star review..my message to Alana is: cool your jets you have provided a first class whirlwind prescion experience and most everyone will be happy to provide a 5 star review. BUT: DO NOT TELL ME TO LEAVE A 5 STAR REVIEW! I make up my own mind. I felt i had to make this 4 stars to bring to peoples attention amongst, what I am sure are all 5 star reviews because of the high quality experience.

Tea tasting description is a bit of a stretch - My wife provided the main review which was very positive, however I just wanted to highlight that the tea tasting involved a polystyrene cup of green tea with our tasty lunch. "Tea tasting" description, to me, conjures up a totally different scenario. Otherwise an excellent day out.
