It was a wonderful day, a lot of laughter, good food, and great sight seeing. My tour guide Cindy was a great person to travel with. Communication was easy. She picked me up at my hotel. Everything was done just right - with no time wasted. We went to the West Lake, The West Lake Hotel, Mao Ze Dong's garden where he studied English, then to a temple, a short hike, then to a really delicious country restaurant for lunch. Afterwards we tasted tea at a tea farm. Along the way, I got to see the Bullet Train. Cindy was really open to any sort of questions, and she was just a great companion to travel with. She didn't even lose her cool when my payment system failed initially (when I tried to pay her for the train tickets and a gratuity). She just left. But we got the payment worked out ok at the end. Cindy also did not push for me to give a positive review. But I would 100% recommend this tour with Cindy, and in fact if I'm ever back in China, I would go with Cindy again to see other sites / organized trips - I have the confidence that she could arrange a fabulous trip to your specifications.
