5.00I was sick and had to sit this tour out but my recent high school graduate son and his best friend took the tour and said it was one of the two best tours they took in China. They enjoyed learning a lot of history from their guide, Kalvin. They said overall the tour was very interesting the entire time so they learned a lot but also had easy conversation with Kalvin. They were blown away by Yuyuan Garden. They felt 4-5 hours was a nice relaxed pace to see all the places get saw. If they could give 6 stars to this experience they said they would. Thank you, Kalvin and Alana Shaghai Tours!
