Great tour in Hangzhou

Mark_I, May 2026

We had a great day touring with Phoenix. The Lingyin Temple was sensational as was the tea tasting in the Longjing Tea Village and we enjoyed the boat cruise on Westlake very much. Phoenix was a highly professional and helpful guide, and also very patient with two fanatical photographers! We enjoyed our discussions with her about the history and culture of the sites we visited. Thoroughly recommend this tour if you are in Hangzhou.

Excellent tour guide

Our guide, Phoenix, was fantastic. She made our trip to West Lake even more memorable by sharing tid-bits that gave us a glimpse into the Chinese culture and history. She was super accommodating and understood the challenges that came while traveling with small children. She even helped us order food at a restaurant which would have been challenging for us otherwise. She took great pictures and shared them with us at the end. Overall, we the experience was 10/10 and highly recommend this agency and especially Phoenix.

The tour guide is very...

This was a wonderful tour - and our guide, Sunny, was perfect! Hotel pick-up was prompt, lots of fun facts provided prior to arrival at West Lake and a great cruise on the lake. The other folks on our boat were super welcoming and even sang to our group! Lunch at the tea house was savory, authentic and filling. A nice step away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Buddha’s at the stone grottoes were inspiring. A final stop for some souvenirs was a perfect way to round out the day. The logistics of the tour were seamless and we were able to enjoy the day with no worries. Would absolutely recommend this tour - and you’ll be very lucky if Sunny is your tour guide (English speaking)!
