Free Local Guides

hangzhou-greeters

Hangzhou Greeters is a non-profit organization which is also a proud member of Global Greeter Network. We offer free tour guide services and our Greeters are ready to give you a chance to discover some of our local curiosities: boating on the West Lake or walking on the Bamboo-lined path at Yunqi or sitting and enjoying a cup of Longjing tea. Although we volunteers are no professional (tourist) guides, we are enthusiastic individuals with unique knowledge of Hangzhou and will show you the city as a friend would do. If you sign up ahead, and send us the info of accommodation we can arrange you a volunteer as soon as possible.

All in all, if you want to live a unique experience and know different sides of Hangzhou and want to know places in the city that do not appear in the official tourist guides, we recommend that you request a “Hangzhou Greeter”.
