“Great experience with an awesome guide ”

We were in a group of 6 adults, different ages, and everybody had a great time during our tour. Heidi is very nice, smart and professional. The tour itself was impressive. Riding the driverless car was very cool and so was receveing a drink by drone. Heidi took us to a great restaurant for lunch and helped us ordering food, which was delicious.

“Hangzhou Day Tour”

Bed responded quickly and efficiently to my enquiry and customized a wonderful one-day tour for us. He also arranged early registration for the Lingyin Temple visit before the tour began, which we later realized made the experience extremely smooth despite the huge crowds there. He picked us up at the hotel, and we started at Hefang Street, a beautifully preserved ancient shopping alley. We then drove to the Grand Canal, the world’s oldest man-made waterway. After that, we visited West Lake, where he thoughtfully chose two contrasting spots — one famous and lively, the other peaceful and tranquil — allowing us to experience both sides of its charm. The next highlight was Lingyin Temple and Feilai Feng, the spiritual heart of Hangzhou Buddhism, with its many well-preserved ancient Buddhist stone carvings, some carved directly into the caves. We ended the tour at a tea plantation, where he arranged for us to pick tea leaves while being filmed by a drone (my wife’s highlight of the tour). We also had the opportunity to experience making matcha tea before he drove us to our dinner venue. Throughout the day, Ben was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the history and cultural background of each site. The itinerary was compact, as per my request, but Ben arranged everything so efficiently that the day still felt relaxed and enjoyable. His car was clean, and his driving was excellent. I highly recommend Ben to anyone planning a tour in Hangzhou.

“Amazing guide”

Lisa was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and super helpful. Responded quickly to our enquiries. Sorted out all our tickets we needed for us quickly as people knew her. A charming lady, we really enjoyed the day with her. She adapted the tour as we went along to deal with our tiredness due to the hot weather and even carried my camera bag on a long walk. Without her we would not have got to the cable car and caves. Excellent value Totally recommended if you are in the Yangshuo area. Go with guide were not good though, and edited our messages so we couldn’t directly be in contact well before the tour; not relaxing as didn’t want to rely on having internet there to access the site to get a message. Showaround does not do that
