Cheryl is such an amazing person and guide! I had so much fun chatting, walking, and learning about Hangzhou. I like how we took our time to look at everything and eat yummy foods without feeling rushed. Cheryl is full of knowledge and information about everything we saw, and I learned so much from her. She even went above and beyond to help me with things beyond the tour, which I'm so very grateful for. If you love food and good company, definitely book this tour! You won't regret it.

10/10 for our tour guide [Name]! Super knowledgeable, funny and attentive—[he/she] turned our ordinary trip into an extraordinary adventure.

This tour was great! We took a hiking path through the tea fields that I would never have been able to find on my own and Daniel was a great guide giving me a lot of information about everything we were seeing and he also spoke great English! Thanks a lot!

We enjoyed the tour with Cheryl, she went all out helping us with ordering food, explaining the food we were having, all were delicious! The visit to the local market was real fun, all the scenery, smell, sounds were mind blowing (in a positive way!). Definitely recommended, thanks Cheryl!

For such a young man, his ability to convey the information is truly impressive! We visited the mentioned locations, with a coffee break along the way. It’s really interesting to learn more about Chinese history and how it is related to my ancestry/country. Keep it up and hopefully this won’t be the last time we join your tour, recommended!

Cheryl lead a fantastic food tour! She knew all the great local and affordable spots and along the way she shared her local perspective of the good, culture, and the development of the city she grew up in. Highly recommended for those looking to for a historical and culinary experience in Hangzhou!

Tutu was a great tour guide. She had great knowledge about the temples and tea culture and had a beautiful route around west lake, which was a nice mixture of walking and biking around. She also had great recommendations for places to visit in Hangzhou and for the rest of my trip in China. Highly recommend to help experience the beauty around hangzhou!

I have to thank Jacky because he gave me full flexibility to choose the day even if I was going to be the only guest. He is prepared with diagrams that explain some basics in Buddhism and he knows exactly where to take you to see the best natural spots of Hangzhou. He is a remarkable guide and I would always choose him for a hiking tour.

Super fun tour with Jorge, very accommodating for my parents who needed pit stops to rest! Lots of sharing about interesting history bits along the canal and modern life in Shanghai. Really made our first trip to Hangzhou extra memorable!

That was awesome! Great personality guide just nailed the tour) Very good language, beautiful scenery, great entertainment and historical insights. And food recomendations as well)

Tutu has a great personality. She is very helpful and flexible. Her English is almost perfect. The location to meet was wrongly stated by google maps. We followed the coordinates and were at the wrong gate but she came to our rescue with a smile. She is very open to answer our questions. She had a nice surprise (entertainment) for us and we enjoyed our time with her. We took a shuttle bus and a rental bike as we asked for it. We highly recommend her !!!

Thanks heaps Jorge. I enjoyed getting to know you and walking down the canal.

Enjoyed the tour thoroughly! Tutu is knowledgeable about Chinese history. She’s fired my interest in Chinese culture and Hangzhou history and folk lore through the stories she told. Tutu conducted the tour in Chinese. I also like how the itinerary was a good mixture of cultural sights and activity (strolls and cycling) — starting from Faxi Temple, where we spent a fascinating hour going to the different halls of this huge complex, we cycled to the tea museum. There, we walked a short while among tea plants before going inside the museum.The tour ended at West Lake.

Cheryl was very nice. She knows everything about Hangzhou. I really recommend this tour.

Hai Chuan was very friendly and shared much local insights to how the people here lives and how he grew up in Hangzhou. On the way we also did an impromptu visit to Lang Lang Music Museum as the weather was hot! Hai Chuan accommodated to our speed as we were travelling with a toddler.

I really enjoyed the tour with Cheryl. She is very kind, informative, patient and friendly. I would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to know more about local food and Chinese medicine (i even got a free diagnosis from a Chinese medicine doctor!!).

100% recommended, it was not only a food tour but also historical explanations about the city and a very interesting introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine! Cheryl was very helpful, entertaining and informative, I really enjoyed having this tour with her!

Cheryl is such a great tour guide . She is an authentic Hangzhou person , knowledgeable about the history, traditions, and flavors of her city. She also has great energy and is absolutely lovely. Highly recommended — a morning with Cheryl is wonderful! 🌞

Excellent tour. Cheryl is a great guide and incredibly knowledgeable about local food and traditional Chinese medicine. The food at all the stops was amazing and not something I would have ever found on my own. Cheryl also recommended some great places for lunch/dinner and helped me get the tea I was looking for.

Fantastic tour - a must do in Hangzhou! 🙌 Cheryl speaks perfect English and is an amazing host. We tried food and drinks we would never have been brave enough to order and they were all delicious. Cheryl is a real foodie and knows a lot about the culinary history of Hangzhou and wider China. The visits to bustling markets and a historic pharmacy still practicing traditional Chinese medicine were a bonus. 6 stars or more 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Tutu spricht sehr gutes Englisch. Wir hatten mit ihr einen super schönen und professionellen Walk. Haben viel über den Tempel, die Tee Herkunft und Anbau und den Park mit den Lotusblumen erfahren. Sie kann sehr gut erzählen, so dass man ihr sehr gerne zuhört. Dankeschön

An amazing free tour of the Grand Canal in Hangzhou! The guide’s knowledge of the canal’s history was outstanding, full of fascinating details and stories that made the past come alive. Their attention and care for the group were exceptional, making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged the whole time. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hangzhou!

great experience！ very nice guy

I absolutely recommend this tour! Joining Cheryl on her Local Street Food Walk is a truly wonderful experience. She shares fascinating insights about the city, its dishes, architecture, and the stories behind them. One of the highlights is the visit to the Hu Qing Yu Tang Chinese Medicine Museum, offering a unique glimpse into both the culture and history of the city. The food stops are incredible. We tried several dishes at Fang Chun Jian Jiao Shao Mai, which were absolutely delicious. Every place Cheryl takes you to offers a great impression of this beautiful city. On top of all that, Cheryl herself is super friendly, and fun to be around, making the tour even more enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend it more!

Das war eine sehr authentische und besondere Tour. Zhou war absolut flexibel, ist total auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen und hat nicht nur Historisches erzählt sondern auch viel von dem Leben heute in Hangzhou berichtet und praktische Tipps weitergegeben. Wir bekamen auch viele Tipps für weitere lohnenswerte Ziele rund um den Westlake und einen Geheimtipp für Super Dumplings. Man merkt dass Zhou viel Spaß hat Leute zu treffen und sein Wissen zu teilen. Absolut empfehlenswert!
