Better than expected
Our guide was excellent — patient with the children and full of stories we would never have found ourselves. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Private guide in Hangzhou: the Old Town walk
A private guide who knows Hangzhou properly — a lake of pagodas and tea terraces an hour from the city. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience
Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Hangzhou for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Highly recommend
The photos do not do it justice. We spent far longer here than we planned to. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.

Not as described
Poorly organised on the day. The staff seemed unsure of the schedule themselves. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.

Superb
One of the best experiences of our trip. Everything ran on time and the staff were genuinely helpful. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.
