Overview
Hangzhou in one day, your way. This custom private day tour is built around what interests you — plan your own itinerary with your guide: a hand-rowed boat on West Lake, the incense-filled halls of Lingyin Temple, a tasting at a tea farmer's home in the Longjing (Dragon Well) tea fields, historic Hefang Street, or the quiet waterways of Xixi Wetland. Visiting from Shanghai? We'll time your pickup to your bullet train for an easy, seamless day trip. You'll travel with your own English-speaking local guide and private vehicle — just your group, at your pace — with entrance tickets included and no factory or shopping-stop detours: your hours are spent seeing Hangzhou, not showrooms. Perfect for first-time visitors, families, and anyone who wants the city's highlights without the tour-bus crowds.
Meeting and Pickup
Go to the West Lake Pleasure Boat location on Nanshan Road (map point). From there, walk along the lakeside toward Su Causeway for about 5 minutes until you reach Majiawan Hand-Row Boat Dock (hand-row boats). Your guide will be waiting there.
End Point
The experience concludes with an immersive tea experience at a nearby teahouse (near the map point), allowing time to pause, reflect, and connect the landscape with the culture that has grown alongside it.
Pickup Information
Your private guide will meet you at your hotel lobby or at the arrivals area of Hangzhou Railway Station/airport, holding a sign with your name. If you are taking the bullet train from Shanghai, send us your train number after booking and we'll time your pickup to your arrival. We'll confirm the exact meeting point and share your guide's direct contact (WhatsApp/WeChat) through the Viator chat or email.
