Reviews
Would recommend a short guided tour for your first trip to 西湖 as the area is huge and there were many many different boating services and islands to explore. Overall, quite a good time island hopping and viewing cultural exhibits at each place. We went in the morning and unfortunately due to the rain, it was slightly foggy. We enjoyed the guided tour nevertheless!
the guide was very nice. Every question, she has an immediate answer that means she has a deep knowledge of the place. Highly recommended if you can understand chinese. If you can’t understand Chinese, choose the English guide.
We managed to visit / see all 10 scenic attractions around Westlake. Our guide Jun Jun is very knowledgeable and she also shared a few stories with us. She is a cheerful guide and able to schedule well the time for us to take photos as she helped us avoid the crowds.
our tour guide for the day 小徐 , was very knowledgeable, positive, friendly and helpful. she brought us to take the boat ride, explain about the history of the Xi Hu. she was attentive to our needs as well. as the weather was hot, she provided us with wet tissues. she assisted to find rest rooms for us and look for a nice place to let us rest in between the walks. overall will recommend this walking tour.
Tour guide 芳芳 was very attentive and patient. We were 30 minutes late, but she was kind enough to wait for us. She also knew all the good hidden photo spots at 西湖! Perfect for 打卡, haha.
My local guide is a lady by the name of Lily. She is an extremely great guide and she is very detailed and patient. she showed us so many stuffs and also told us lots of history and great stories of the past. my family is so happy with her highly recommended especially our guide Lily. thank you very much to her

the tour was great. the guide Tina was very caring, patient and supportive. she took time to explain everything and ask our opinion about places to go. she also recommend us a good restaurant to try local dishes like the beggar chicken and the beef soup.
The beautiful scenery of Shihwa brought back childhood memories. It was a happy time.
The tour guide was friendly and polite, and was familiar with the cultural and historical background of the attractions. I was able to complete the trip while enjoying the beautiful scenery and taking photos. It was a very good experience.
