5.0Fantastic tour. Our English speaking guide cum driver Roy was excellent. Roy provided brilliant commentary on the way and at the sites. He was very polite and answered all our questions. In Suzhou, The Master Of Nets Garden was really interesting and pretty as was the setting around the canal with traditional shops and restaurants. We learnt a lot about old Chinese culture. The stop at the Silk factory was ok and can be skipped. The bridges and canals of ZhouZhuang old water village are very picturesque. They do remind you of Venice. The boat ride was nice. The food at an excellent Suzhou restaurant was very good. The car was ok, the drive very comfortable and smooth. I highly recommend this tour and should be on the must do list in Shanghai.
Otherworldly and delightful!

5.0This was one of the most delightful days I have had while traveling!! Peter, our guide, was incredible! He is a wealth of information and has fantastic conversational English. We went to a local restaurant for lunch; Peter ordered all his favorite dishes... DELICIOUS! The day had a magical, otherworldly feel to it. I would recommend this tour in a heartbeat! Ask for Peter!

5.0We have been to Shanghai before and wanted to see more of the area this trip. Suzhou and ZhouZhuang were both beautiful cities and had interesting sites. Tom is an excellent guide and shared stories and information throughout the day. The added stop to the Silk Factory was nice and informative. Tom selected a very nice restaurant for lunch and had one of our favorite meals in China. The day was topped off by a boat ride in a canal and a singing oarswoman. The hour+ drive was worth every minute, we had a Great day.
Great day trip

5.0Had a great day with my guide Roy - he explained all the history of the sites we visited as well as pointed out interesting buildings and sites on the drive to and from Shanghai. Both main sites are incredibly beautiful though a little crowded on the weekend (as expected). Lunch was in a very nice restaurant and all the dishes were tasty. Highly recommend if you have a free day in Shanghai!
