Had an amazing time touring Hangzhou from Shanghai with Tommy! Particularly for someone who only speaks English, I highly recommend this tour. We visited Lingyin in the morning and Tommy explained the history of the temple and the many statues inside. Then we had a lunch at local tea village for a unique Chinese meal. In the afternoon we toured the West Lake , the tea village and the Hefang Street. All around it was a fantastic trip!
Tommy picked us up promptly from our hotel and had a fabulous ride on a bullet train and then onto Hangzhou where we had a fantastic day with a boat ride on West Lake, food in a family home saw Tea
fields and visited the Buddhist Temple truly worth staying an extra day to experience this culture and having a guide who was competent, caring and could speak our language highly recommend.

Hangzhou is a very beautiful city. We hope we could stay one more night there. We were picked up at our Shanghai hotel by our tour guide Nancy and the driver. They are both really nice and Nancy is proven to be a very nice companion and tour guide. The West Lake Boat Tour was pretty nice in the quite part of the west lake. We loved the visit to Lingying temple, an amazing temple, and Feilai Peak. We also enjoyed the trip to Tea Village. Beautiful and relaxing scenery and delicious tea. And the lunch at a local tea farmer’s house was Super. We customized our tour so we didn't have to go back to Shanghai but instead transferred to our hotel that we booked for Hangzhou. I will come back to Hangzhou again one day.
