Great day in Hangzhou
I had a terrific 1-day tour of Hangzhou. The tour guide and the driver met me at the train station and took me on a full day tour, including the West Lake, the Longjing tea areas, Lingyin Temple, and Hefang Street. It was a packed day and I highly recommend it. Grace was a terrific tour guide and I highly recommend her!

A tour of Hangzhou with Leo (the Lion)
Leo was great. He was very friendly and well versed in all locations we explored in Hangzhou. We loved the boat ride of west lake with all its history explained to us by Leo. Our second stop was the green tea farm and research fields in the mountains in Meijiawu Village. We learned plenty about the healing properties of the tea (Chinas national drink) and were also able to enjoy some. Of course we did purchase some to take home. We were also able to visit the most beautiful Buddhist temple. We finished up with some shopping including a visit to a pharmacy (old school eastern medicine pharmacy) which was very cool.

Great day trip with our wonderful tour guide!
We had a wonderful day trip with our tour guide Sarah. She is very knowledgeable and is able to explain the story/history of the sites very well. We already visited one of the sites in the itinerary and she attended to this by giving us suggestions on other destinations suitable to us. Thank you for a wonderful day.

We had a great experience...
We had a great experience with Dannie. We were a party of 5 with grandparents and a child. Dannie did a great job to make sure everyone was comfortable. She took the time to explain everything and we learned a lot at various sites. She also took us to a great lunch spot with authentic local cuisine. Highly recommend.

Our day tour of Hangzhou
Had a wonderful day with our guide, Grace for our 1st time in Hangzhou. Grace was super friendly and more importantly for the non Mandarin speakers, spoke very good English. She had a ton of knowledge of the sights we went to including the historic references associated with the places we went to. Highly recommended.

Private Full Day Tour : Customizable Hangzhou City Highlights with Multi Options: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hangzhou.
How much does Private Full Day Tour : Customizable Hangzhou City Highlights with Multi Options cost?
+
Prices start at $148 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hangzhou usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Full Day Tour : Customizable Hangzhou City Highlights with Multi Options take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hangzhou is not rushed.
Is Private Full Day Tour : Customizable Hangzhou City Highlights with Multi Options worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 51 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hangzhou, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full Day Tour : Customizable Hangzhou City Highlights with Multi Options?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Full Day Tour : Customizable Hangzhou City Highlights with Multi Options suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour : Customizable Hangzhou City Highlights with Multi Options?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hangzhou can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hangzhou and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full Day Tour : Customizable Hangzhou City Highlights with Multi Options start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hangzhou within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hangzhou?
+
On Outty we rank every Hangzhou experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jack HangZhou Private Tour, Flexible Hangzhou Private Tour from Shanghai by Bullet Train, Best of Hangzhou: A Comprehensive Tour of the City's Top Sights. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hangzhou?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hangzhou?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
