Too expensive for a basic city highlights tour
We (a couple) paid 700 AUD for a two half-day tour (9am-3pm). Too expensive for a basic city highlights tour. You can get around in Hangzhou and visit many places by yourself pretty easily...taxi is cheap and you can easily buy all the entrance tickets yourself. Having said that, I must mention that ur tour guide, Lulu, was very knowledgeable and super helpful. Our driver was very kind and helpful. They both made our experience meaningful and fun.
Response from the operator: First of all, thank you very much for choosing our services. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with our knowledgeable guide Lulu. Your choice to select our services among many options indicates your recognition of our products. You mentioned that it's easy for you to explore Hangzhou by taking a taxi, but for tourists who don't speak Chinese, it might not be as straightforward. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in tourism, travel resources have become scarce. Many attractions require advance reservations, and some places do not allow taxis to drop passengers directly at the entrance, requiring some walking. For a visitor unfamiliar with Hangzhou, this might lead to challenges such as not knowing where to purchase tickets or how to navigate within the attractions. I believe you found the itinerary easy because of the perfect collaboration between our guide Lulu and our professional driver, ensuring that your journey was smooth and enjoyable. Personally, I agree that tourism is not just about scenery. As you mentioned, our guide Lulu is very knowledgeable and super helpful. She provides insights into the historical and cultural background of Hangzhou, as well as the local customs, which are services you may not get with independent travel. Regarding your feedback on the short duration of the itinerary, it could be because you did not have Chinese meals for two days, saving time. Our itinerary offers 100% flexibility, and Lulu goes the extra mile to enhance your tour experience. Here are the special requirements you had during the tour, and Lulu made sure to fulfill them: 1. You wanted to have coffee, and Lulu found a coffee shop to take you there. 2. You expressed interest in visiting the Silk Market, and Lulu not only took you there but also arranged a complimentary visit to Anmanfayun Ancient Path. 3. You wished to go to a local mall, Yintai, to buy shoes, and both Lulu and the driver took you there. Despite your negotiation efforts, Lulu even used her own discount coupon to help you purchase the shoes. These are services that not only independent travelers may not receive but are also not commonly provided by most travel agencies, yet we managed to fulfill them. Lastly, I understand that you may be using the negative review as a way to request a partial refund. However, I believe this approach may not be the most constructive. Once again, thank you for your reviews, and we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour with our guide Lulu and the driver. Best Regards Your Way Holiday

Private Two Days Hangzhou Highlights Tour - Soul of Hangzhou: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hangzhou.
How much does Private Two Days Hangzhou Highlights Tour - Soul of Hangzhou cost?
+
Prices start at $227 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 Two Days Hangzhou Highlights Tour - Soul of Hangzhou take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Two Days Hangzhou Highlights Tour - Soul of Hangzhou worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 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 Two Days Hangzhou Highlights Tour - Soul of Hangzhou?
+
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 Two Days Hangzhou Highlights Tour - Soul of Hangzhou suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Two Days Hangzhou Highlights Tour - Soul of Hangzhou?
+
Around 1 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Two Days Hangzhou Highlights Tour - Soul of Hangzhou 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.
