Public reviews from guests who booked through GuruWalk.
“Jacky has enough knowledge of what he was talking about, brought us to good places to eat for lunch. Would recommend him to friends and family.”
“This was one of the highlights of our time in Hangzhou. The hike through the tea villages and hidden trails was stunning. We learned a lot about tea culture, had nice conversations with locals, and enjoyed a delicious chicken soup for lunch. A well-organized and memorable experience. Highly recommended!”
“I had the privilege to be the only one guided by Jacky GONG. He told me all about the village history and we had nice insightful and enriching discussion along the way. I'm glad that I chose him and I'm sure that everyone else will be glad too.”
