Hello! I'm Zhu, a Hangzhou native who earned my degree in the UK (mastering the art of tea drinking twice over!) and completed graduate studies in Australia (where I learned that not everything tries to kill you).
As a passionate historian who's called Hangzhou home for years, I transform ordinary sightseeing into cultural journeys. I'll share why West Lake inspired countless poets, which hidden pathways lead to the best views, and which local restaurants serve authentic dishes without tourist prices.
Choose me as your guide for:
Seamless communication in perfect English (though Scottish accents still confuse me!)
Fascinating historical stories that bring ancient sites to life
Comfortable private transportation throughout your journey
Personalized itineraries that match your interests and cultural background
Insider access to spots even travel blogs haven't discovered
Photography tips for capturing Hangzhou's famous misty landscapes
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
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!
Zhu was a great guide! He has so much energy and was incredibly enthusiastic about Hangzhou. I love how he wanted to make sure he could answer all my questions, not just about the tour, but about Hangzhou/ China in general as well. He even Googled some extra information for me. I feel like l learned a lot! Thanks so much for sweating around the city with me!
A very recomendable walk, beatiful scenery and enthusiastic guide giving interesting insight into the Canal history and the trepid changes between traditional and modern China.
