It was a very comfortable hour ride. Tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Took pictures for us. I would have liked to spend more time walking around the shops. Felt a little rushed.
Interesting visit to Water Town

An interesting day out - it really was like visiting the Venice canals — the gardens are nicely laid out and our Guide Robert did a splendid job of keeping us well informed of the history of the area. We had a lovely authentic lunch at a restaurant nestled in the busy alleyways crammed with local stalls. Thx once again to Robert our guide. Maria & Greg

The highlight experience of my four days in Shanghai. The door to door town car was spotless and very comfortable. My personal guide, Lucy, was excellent in conveying a wealth of information about the history of the town, its gardens, shops and canals. She was pleasant to talk to, good at answering any questions I had and accommodating of my slow walking pace due to an old injury. I cannot recommend her and the tour more highly.
