I spent 2 lovely days with Forrest, one day in Wuzhen (an absolute must see; spend at least one night if u can) and the second day doing the tea experience, porcelain museum and West Lake Impression evening Show. I had an amazing time. All the activities are highly informative and enjoyable. Forrest made it extra special with his positive attitude, sparkling personality and readiness to laugh. He also speaks English perfectly and is a safe driver. I was traveling solo and Forrest made me feel like i was spending time with an old friend. He definitely made my trip to China! And, yes, he gave himself the name Forrest because he loves the movie.
Great service and knowledgeable guide plus friendly and accommodating driver. They were very prompt and responsive.
It was a little bit crowded at that time due to public holidays in China, but totaly worth 2 hrs drive from Hangzhou. Very well preserved ancient Chinese rural village. Good for taking pictures in traditional attires)
3 words. Breathtaking views, rich heritage and memories of a life time. I like the tranquility spots and also some touristy spots as well.
這次旅遊，我們全家都很開心，感謝導遊的陪伴和周到的安排，我們还會回來。Wezhen is so pretty, I can't like it any more. Once you there , you never leave.
Wuzhen- the Venice in the east. I enjoyed the traditional houses built along the river and the peaceful life style. What's more, they got many nice halls to display the original workshops. The night view in West Part is really unique.
We had a wonderful day with Forrest as our guide and driver. He is a very nice and punctually guide. I am very lucky to meet him in China. Thanks a lot
