Great Day exploring! The guide was awesome! The weather was extremely hot but our guide provided us with breaks to cool our bodies. It was helpful. Ate at an amazing tea restaurant. So much to see! Our guide provided us with valuable information to help us understand the culture and traditions.
She was fantastic, she took care of us whole day, we visited many places, hiking was very good experience in the nature. Tea farms spreads all the all the way I enjoy drinking green tea from tea house
The views are amazing. Guide Alana was amazing. Tour was comfortable. She was very hospitable and took us where we wanted.
We had a fantastic day, with Berlin and Elsa as our guides. Everything was very well-prepared beforehand, and Berlin was right on time to collect us at our hotel. Transportation throughout the day was smooth and easy. Elsa’s knowledge of and enthusiasm for the Hangzhou area was wonderful. They took us to a fantastic restaurant and introduced us to delicious local foods. Both the visit to the Hupao Spring and the hike through tea plantations were a great way to spend the day, and relaxing with green tea was a great way to end it! Berlin and Elsa were wonderful company, and we enjoyed everything about the tour. We would highly recommend this excursion to anyone, and we would happily spend another day with Berlin and Elsa.
After spending a few days in Suzhou and Shanghai our group was anxious to connect with nature. This was a very active tour- we are regular people in our fourties and were easily able to navigate the trails and stairs that we took. Alana and May were so knowledgeable and helpful- when we added another guest the day before they didn’t blink an eye- they made it seem seamless. Lunch on the tea plantation was the highlight, there was no way to eat that much and suck variety! Hats off to our driver, he navigated the smallest of places. Hangzou really is a heavenly place and worth the detour out of Shanghai for a day.
