Why Book with Jacky
Planning a private day in Hangzhou should feel simple and personal. I’m Jacky GONG, a licensed English-speaking guide based in Hangzhou. I help international visitors explore the city through clear planning, local context, and a pace that suits their interests.
A licensed guide with local cultural knowledge
I am a licensed bilingual guide and an Official Zhejiang Provincial Museum Docent. My tours combine the places visitors come to see with the stories that make them meaningful—from West Lake and Buddhist temples to tea villages, local life, art, and history.
A day planned around you
Your tour is private. Before the day begins, I consider your available time, pickup point, interests, walking pace, and practical needs. Whether you want a first introduction to Hangzhou, a quieter tea-village walk, a museum-focused day, or a realistic layover itinerary, the plan is shaped around your visit.
No shopping stops or commission-driven detours
My focus is your time in Hangzhou. I do not include unwanted shopping stops or build itineraries around commission-driven detours. You can spend the day on places, food, culture, and experiences that genuinely interest you.
Clear information before you book
You will receive a clear private-group quote and a practical itinerary suggestion before booking. I explain what is included, what may cost extra, and what is realistically possible within your available time.
Private transport when included in your tour
For tours that include private SUV transport, I arrange pickup and return based on the agreed itinerary. This can make a full day more comfortable and practical, especially for families, first-time visitors, airport connections, and routes that combine city sights with tea villages or surrounding areas.
Practical support for transit and layover visits
I can help plan a realistic sightseeing schedule around an arrival and departure time. Entry and visa-free transit eligibility are determined by the relevant immigration authorities and current travel requirements. I provide itinerary-planning assistance, not immigration approval or a guarantee of entry.
