Tour Style：Hangzhou is China’s tea capital, and this private day tour is built around the Longjing (Dragon Well) that made it famous.

The day closes at the Imperial Tea Garden and its legendary eighteen bushes. Your own guide and driver take you around in a private air-conditioned car from your Hangzhou hotel, the pace is yours, and there is no forced shopping — just honest help tasting, judging grade and season, and buying only what you actually like.

Tour Style：Five unhurried days across what the Chinese call heaven on earth - Hangzhou, the canal town of Wuzhen and the garden city of Suzhou - in one private trip. You move between the three by car and high-speed rail, with tickets and transfers arranged for you, so the logistics stay invisible and each place gets the time it deserves: lakes and tea villages in Hangzhou, water-town museums and crafts in Wuzhen, classical gardens and old streets in Suzhou. Every day is led by a local guide and a private driver who flex the pace to how your group feels.
