Shanghai to Hangzhou In 45 Mins: Private Tours by Buer

Our guide Samantha made the entire experience feel very personal. She didn’t just show us places—they explained the stories behind them. Especially in the tea village, we learned so much about longjing tea culture that we would have missed on our own.

This was our first trip to China, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Wuzhen were all stunning in different ways. The guide helped us understand local culture, history, and even recommended great local food spots. Very good service, highly recommended.

This 11-day private tour through Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou was one of the most enjoyable family trips we have ever taken. What really stood out for us was the service from start to finish. Jennifer was our main contact from Buer China Travel and she was absolutely fantastic. She responded quickly to every message, patiently adjusted the itinerary multiple times based on our preferences, and always made us feel like everything was under control. It really gave us peace of mind before even arriving in China. During the trip, everything ran smoothly. There were no stressful moments at all. Our guide was extremely kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. She had a wonderful way of explaining the history behind each site without making it feel like a lecture, and she was especially good with our children, which made a huge difference for our family. We also appreciated how flexible the itinerary was. We never felt rushed, and we had enough time to truly enjoy each destination, whether it was walking along West Lake in Hangzhou or exploring the classical gardens in Suzhou. Overall, this was a very well-organized and thoughtfully designed trip. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting China for the first time.
