Reviews
within the hours we visited around west lake , lingyin temple and Feilai peak area and national botanic gsrden. the driver was very pleasant and flexible to drive us around. the pick up is easy with the location to send to driver via WeChat . best way to move around the area especially during peak season
The itinerary was very comfortable, and there was good communication beforehand, with a guide matched to our needs. The guide was very thoughtful and enthusiastic in explaining many things to us. Overall, the itinerary was arranged very smoothly. The only thing was that the sun was a bit strong and it was a little hot and stuffy.😅
Overall, the tour was very comfortable. The confirmation process before the tour and the tour itself were both very reassuring! On the day of the tour, the guide provided very detailed explanations of each attraction. It's definitely a tour worth experiencing.
The trip is too expensive for the service provided, could be due to limited english speakers in China. The itinerary can be improved as we finished the whole tour early about 330pm. Hence can add up few other places to visit. Otherwise the guide is excellent and knowledgeable. The car was comfy and clean.
