First Hangzhou was an amazing city and exceeded my expectations and Iam sure it has a lot more to it that needs to be explored. Sarah our tour guide was amazing and extremely knowledgeable and she managed to show us so much in the time given without feeling rushed out,I highly recommend her to everyone going there. The tea plantation was awesome and we had lunch in one of the farmers houses and it was wonderful with an awesome view.

Private tour for the two of us with Tommy! We were picked up from Hangzhou East Station and taken to all the main sights of Hangzhou, hidden away from tourists which was appreciated. We especially enjoyed the history and the knowledge shared with us. Being tea enthusiasts, loved seeing how the green tea was made!! Thanks Tommy for your help :)

DO NOT use this tour company if you are not from China. Our experience was nothing but a huge disaster. We ended up paying to literally experience the land on our own and get completely lost and we were not able to enjoy the beauty the rice terraces had to offer. The tour company only gave back half our money after all the struggles we went through and many many emails later.
