We recently completed a private tour for Hangzhou, Suzhou and Beijing and would highly recommend booking with Klook. It was seamless from planning to execution. Special thanks to Lara who managed our entire itinerary. She sent us daily updates of our itinerary for the next day, including temperature and what to wear, and started a WeChat group with all the guides and drivers so that we could communicate directly. The hotels that they booked for us exceeded expectations and were better than the ones we booked ourselves.

This is a very nice trip. The guide is trying her best to explain everything about 乌镇 and 杭州. This is different from free and easy trip as I get to understand and appreciate the history of places I have visited, thereby value adding my good experience in the 2 places I visited. The hotel I opted for is more expensive and high class one. for this hotel, the breakfast is nice, and the rooms are very clean.

This tour package was very good value for the money. It included visits to many attractions, and we would like to especially appreciate our tour guide, Mr. Yufang Ding, for his excellent service. He is a Chinese tour guide who can communicate in English, which made it easy for us to join the tour with Chinese tourists smoothly. Mr. Yufang took great care of all the guests and was always punctual. Moreover, he kindly helped us arrange transportation all the way to our hotel. We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr. Yufang Ding, your staff member
