• 5Great English-speaking guide for southern China

  Jack is an excellent guide, knowledgeable, entertaining and accommodating. Before our trip, he was very responsive to our requests and queries. He was prompt and quick in communicating with us, which was much appreciated. Travel arrangements were seamless, as we went from Shanghai to Wuzhen and Hangzhou via a private van. We enjoyed his commentaries on the various attractions, they were engaging and informative. Would highly recommend Jack to anyone who is looking for a good English-speaking guide for their China trip.

• 5An Outstanding, Personalized Tour of Hangzhou — Jack is a Must-Book

  I travel overseas frequently and generally avoid group tours — I've been burned too many times by rushed, impersonal experiences. Jack completely changed that expectation. This was, hands down, one of the best guided tours I've had anywhere. What set Jack apart was how he went beyond just hitting the checklist of attractions. He consistently found the "extra" — a better vantage point from the top of a boat, encouraging us to try experiences we'd never have sought out on our own, and genuinely expanding how much of Hangzhou we got to explore versus a standard itinerary. The real test, though, was my teenagers. Anyone who travels with teens knows how hard it is to keep them engaged — phones down, actually present, actually curious. Jack managed it effortlessly. He was so entertaining and easy to connect with that my kids turned to me mid-tour and asked, "Dad, where did you get him?" That's the highest compliment I can give. If you're visiting Hangzhou and want a guide who treats your trip as more than a transaction — someone who's knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely invested in making sure you see the city in a memorable way — book Jack. Worth every bit, and then some.

• 5A Great Family Tour with Jack

  We had a wonderful private tour of Hangzhou with Jack and would highly recommend him, especially to families traveling with young children. Jack’s English is excellent. He speaks very fluently and confidently, and communication with him was easy from the very beginning. He contacted us in advance to coordinate the trip and was friendly, professional, and well organized throughout the day. He is very knowledgeable about Hangzhou and gave us great introductions to West Lake, Hefang Street, and especially Hu Xueyan’s Former Residence. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Instead of simply pointing out the architecture, Jack shared many interesting stories about Hu Xueyan, his family, and the history behind the residence. His storytelling was vivid, engaging, and educational. My husband particularly enjoyed this part of the tour and felt that he learned a lot about Chinese history and culture from Jack. Jack was also wonderful with our two young children. He was very considerate of their energy levels and adjusted the itinerary and pace when needed. He interacted with them throughout the day and even bought them little gifts, which was very thoughtful. His car was spacious, clean, and extremely comfortable, and he had prepared lots of snacks for the ride — definitely a highlight for our kids! Another thing we really appreciated was how convenient Jack made the entire trip. He is an excellent driver and always managed to find the closest possible parking spot to each attraction. This may sound like a small detail, but on a hot summer day in Hangzhou with two young children, it made a huge difference. Overall, Jack is friendly, confident, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator. He combines a knowledgeable tour guide with a comfortable private driving experience, while also being very thoughtful about the needs of families. We had a great day with him and came away knowing much more about Hangzhou. Highly recommended!

• 5Jack is exceptional!

  Reading all of the reviews beforehand I'm kinda expecting service from Jack is somehow good, but it's way more than what I expected. Even our 6yo son said "Jack is the best in here". Spend time with him and trust me, that when you know why he got all 5 star reviews.

About Hangzhou

Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, is a city of lakes and tea hills centred on West Lake, with temples, pagodas and a past as an imperial capital.

Hangzhou grew around West Lake, a shallow, willow-fringed lake ringed by hills, causeways and pagodas that has inspired Chinese poets and painters for centuries and is a World Heritage landscape. The city was the capital of the Southern Song dynasty from the 12th century, and it marks the southern end of the Grand Canal. Boats cross the lake to small islands, and the Su and Bai Causeways are favourite walking routes.
