West Lake (Xi Hu) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a top attraction in the heart of old Hangzhou. With mountains on three sides and plenty of charming gardens, bridges, pagodas, temples, and islands, it’s easy to see why this scenic man-made lake has inspired so many poets and painters through the ages.

Excellent guidance
The tour guide, Helen was so kind, nice and knowledgeable. The tour operator Sunny was also very responsive and careful. Both were excellent.

Great show excellent service
The show was spectacular that’s a given, what I was impressed with the most was the costumer service given through the Managment team. The driver was outside my hotel exactly on time with a luxury car filled with water bottles and temperature controlled AC. The contact through sms was excellent and made me feel like they really want you to be as comfortable as possible, and the highlight was Helen. She was waiting for me at the drop off site and was chatting with me gleefully before the show started, she kept recommending places that I should visit and after the drop off still insisted on offering her help when needed throughout my stay. I highly recommend everyone to see the show and experience the service.

Great tour, super tour guide & logistics!
This was a wonderful tour - and our guide, Sunny, was perfect! Hotel pick-up was prompt, lots of fun facts provided prior to arrival at West Lake and a great cruise on the lake. The other folks on our boat were super welcoming and even sang to our group! Lunch at the tea house was savory, authentic and filling. A nice step away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Buddha’s at the stone grottoes were inspiring. A final stop for some souvenirs was a perfect way to round out the day. The logistics of the tour were seamless and we were able to enjoy the day with no worries. Would absolutely recommend this tour - and you’ll be very lucky if Sunny is your tour guide (English speaking)!
