We had an incredible all-inclusive Hangzhou tour and it could not have been any better. Our guide, Lily, was an absolute gem. Her profound knowledge of the region's history and culture brought every attraction to life. Her passion for sharing the stories behind each site was infectious, making the tour not only educational but also incredibly engaging.

The itinerary crafted by YourWayHoliday was well-balanced and diverse, allowing us to explore Hangzhou's top attractions while also delving into local life. From the peaceful boat ride on West Lake to the enchanting Lingyin Temple, every moment was a new discovery. The price is very reasonable. I highly recommend.

I recently went on the Hangzhou One Day Tour and had an amazing experience! The tour was well-organized and our tour guide David was knowledgeable and friendly.

We started the day by visiting the famous West Lake, which was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide shared interesting historical and cultural facts about the lake and its significance to the people of Hangzhou. We also took a boat ride on the lake, which was a peaceful and scenic way to take in the beauty of the surroundings. Overall, I would highly recommend the Hangzhou One Day Tour to anyone visiting the area. It was a great way to experience the natural beauty, cultural heritage, and culinary traditions of Hangzhou in a short amount of time.

This review is based on my experience in interacting with Hangzhou Private Tour and specifically the Travel Consultant, Sam. We unfortunately had to cancel the tour scheduled during the upcoming summer vacation in July due to the ongoing cross border travel restrictions due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. However the professional service and responses received, starting from the initial exploratory emails back in January to the immediate refund of 100% of the advance payment upon the cancellation of the tour, exceeded expectations. Looking forward to rearranging this trip next year!

Hello,

I wanted to ask about the possibility to attend 1 day trip via Hangzhou as I'm on a business trip and no plans for the weekend. It doesn't have to be private - can be even the group - preferrably on Saturday.

Thank you,

We travelled from Shanghai to Hangzhou by the high speed train. David picked up us from the train station and he depicted a lot to us. He is incredibly knowledgable of not only the history of the city but also the whole country. His fantastic explanation covered history, law, tradition and religions. He also has a deep understanding of China' modern technology like Alibaba. We wish we could have stayed a little longer in Hangzhou. Thanks for Hangzhou Private Tour and Guide David.
