The Private Suzhou and Zhouzhuang Tour from Shanghai proved to be a convenient option for those with limited time to plan their trip. However, the experience had its highs and lows. The Good: - One of the undeniable highlights of the tour was the inclusion of a private air-conditioned Mercedes minivan. This not only ensured a comfortable journey but also added a touch of luxury to our travel experience. - The guide accompanying us was knowledgeable and went the extra mile to provide detailed insights into the historical and cultural significance of the sites we visited. Could Be Better: - The itinerary appeared to be disproportionately focused on Suzhou, somewhat overshadowing the potentially more captivating Zhouzhuang. - A significant part of our time was spent navigating Suzhou, including cross-city travel to places like Tiger Hill. Unfortunately, the visit to Tiger Hill was limited to a quick photo stop downstairs, without the opportunity to ascend the pagoda. This particular stop was added on the day of the tour, consuming more time than anticipated. - The biggest disappointment came when we finally arrived at Zhouzhuang which is China's number one water town. Contrary to the promised 3hours, we were only given half an hour to explore this enchanting destination. This limited time frame left us without the chance to leisurely stroll around or experience the highly anticipated boat ride along the picturesque canals. In conclusion, the Private Suzhou and Zhouzhuang Tour from Shanghai is a suitable choice for those seeking a hassle-free and comfortable travel experience. However, improvements in the tour's balance between Suzhou and Zhouzhuang, as well as better time management at the various stops, could elevate the overall satisfaction of participants.

My tour was conducted by Rita. She was the most knowledgeable tour guide I have ever had. She knew the complete historical information and provided it in a way that was fun. We spent the day going to both Suzhou and Zhouzhuang. Both were very different from each other and very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you are fortunate enough to have it given by Rita. She is truly a wonderful person to spend a full day of touring with.

I wanted to say how wonderful and friendly Annie was on our trip. The first thing she did was ask for our expectations on what we wanted to see. From there she gave a very personalized tour. She was knowledgeable and answered many questions. She was excellent to communicate with and so receptive to our requests. It was great practicing my Chinese with her she made it flow simply. The tour did a great job challenging me intellectually both in knowledge and culturally. This is a rare quality in a tour guide. Having been on many tours with Viator this was definitely one of the top tours I have been on. The driver was quick, present, and had a lovely luxury tour bus with excellent cleanliness. I hope that Viator keeps using quality tour groups such as Sunny Tours for future bookings in China.

China can be intimidating for non mandarin speaking tourist like us. That's why we choose this tour. All went smooth. Throughout the tour i kept wondering how stressful it would be if we chose to go by ourself 😅 private car, flexible time and itinerary, no need to wory about language barrier, translator if you want to buy/hagle, and your personal photographer 😁 our tour guide Sunny was very helpful to make our trip smooth, accomodative to our need and preferences, and very informative and knowledgeable about china! Her english is impecable, so need not to worry about that Zhouzhuang was the highlight of our trip, very beautiful, and Sunny managed to get us there avoiding crowded hours. So it was very comfortable stroll.
