We booked a private day tour in Hangzhou with YourWayHoliday in Aug. I must commend YourWayHoliday for their prompt and attentive responses throughout the booking process. They made sure all our queries were addressed promptly, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
Hangzhou's breathtaking scenery left me in awe, and the tour was made even more fantastic by our guide, David. Hangzhou's landscapes, especially the boat ride on West Lake, were simply enchanting. It felt like I was gliding through a traditional Chinese painting. The tranquility and serenity of the lake, surrounded by lush greenery and historic temples, made for an unforgettable experience. David, our knowledgeable guide, was the highlight of the tour. His deep understanding of Hangzhou's history, culture, and landmarks added immense value to our journey. He went out of his way to make the day even more special, sharing captivating stories and insights at each stop. His passion for his city was contagious, and I left with a newfound appreciation for Hangzhou.
Thank you, David, and thank you, YourWayHoliday, for making my day in Hangzhou truly outstanding!
Nancy was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable. Nancy was the heart and soul of this tour. Her passion for Hangzhou, its culture, and history were evident throughout the day. She was not just a guide but a storyteller, bringing each location to life with anecdotes and insights that made the journey rich and memorable.
Hangzhou's beauty is undeniable, but it was Nancy who truly made this tour exceptional. Her warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail made me appreciate Hangzhou in a way I wouldn't have on my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Hangzhou Day Tour. The itinerary was well-planned and we were able to see all the main attractions in just one day. The tour guide was professional and knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting with their stories and explanations of the sights. The visit to the tea plantation was particularly enjoyable and informative. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a taste of Hangzhou's culture and history
It was our second trip to Hangzhou. My husband and I very much enjoyed our trip.Our tour guide Nancy was extremely knowledgeable giving us an excellent insight into Chinese history, geography, politics and popular culture. She really went our of her way to make everyone on the tour happy. Everything from pick at our hotel in Shanghai, round way first class train ride, lunch at a local restaurant and return to the hotel was perfect. Really had a nice time. Overall the experience was really nice!!!
We were really enjoyed our day trip from Shanghai to Hangzhou by the fast train with first class seat seating. Picked up from our hotel in Shanghai to the Shanghai Hongqiao train station.Our Hangzhou local tour guide Bonnie (I do agree with Shanghai Private Tour-Local guide knows more about Hangzhou) met us at the Hangzhou train station and started the tour to the westlake,Lingyun temple, tea village...Bonnie spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the history,culture of Hangzhou and each site we visited. She always tried her best to make sure the tour was exactly what we wanted it to be.Great trip, unforgetable!

Then finally our trip was wonderful and successful. Thanks again for David. Your are the best. Hope to see you again in Hangzhou.
This is a tour not to be missed if you travel to Hangzhou. There is a lot to see and learn. Tommy is an excellent tour guide. He is very well organized, thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable. He does everything in his power to have a great time. You just sit back and enjoy the whole unforgettable trip!
My trip to Hangzhou was the best journey I have had to China and this was down to having employed a local guide by the name of Nancy. Nancy speaks excellent English and knows the area like the back of her hand. Knowledgeable, informative and with an excellent sense of humour. I learnt so much more than I could have hoped for in my short time in Hangzhou by having Nancy on hand to explain it all to me and answering all of my questions. We hired a car to get around and would recommend you do the same as there is so much to see. Make sure you visit Longjing Valley Longjing Green Tea tasting, Lake West and its beautiful park and the Lingyin Buddhist Temple. And thanks to Nancy could help us stay away from the bust crowds!!!
My guide, Nancy, was absolutely wonderful! She was so knowledgable and well versed in the history of the places we visited in Hangzhou. I would strongly recommend this company, and better yet Nancy, if anyone is looking for a fun, informative look inside Hangzhou history/culture.
I booked trips at the last minute with Hangzhou Private Tour and found them to be very efficient and easy to deal with. We were lucky to have Nancy as our guide. The cars were always spotless and water was provided. Nancy is very knowledgeable and her English is excellent, which enabled us to converse on lots of different subjects.
Our trip began with the bullet train, which whisked us from Shanghai to Hangzhou. First stop was the Temple which was fascinating, then a delicious lunch overlooking a tea plantation. Nancy helped us order and she was spot on with the choices. Next stop was the stunning lake, throughout the tour Nancy not only told us about the history of the sights but also the myths, which made it all the more interesting. Last stop shopping for souvenirs.....delicious green tea.
I highly recommend this company and tour, but I especially recommend Nancy as a guide. Not only did she make the tours interesting, she made them fun as well, we felt as if we were being shown around by a friend.
