5.00Great experience. Mary was very informative about all cultural and historical facts. She made sure we had a great day and went out of her way to do this.
Great Day Trip

5.00My husband and I booked this private tour because we only had a full day available on Sunday and expected a huge crowd in Suzhou and Zhouzhuang. We couldn't be happier with this decision. Our guide Caroline led us expertly through the throng of tourists and told us loads of interesting stories about each place we visited. She was bubbly and energetic, making it fun to follow her around and learn something new along the way. Our driver Mr. Shen also drove very well and always found good parking spots so we didn't have to walk far, which helped save time and energy immensely. Usually, we love traveling by ourselves, but it can be overwhelming and intimidating in famous attractions in China, so unless you're familiar with the language and culture, I do believe taking a tour like this is more worthwhile.
Great

5.00Our tour guide Chen Qian made history not boring through great storytelling skills and we definitely had fun listening to her explain the sights to us. It was so good she even gained a crowd! Itinerary was well paced out and my mum and I did not feel tired at all. Our preference for food and sightseeing were also put into consideration which we are also thankful for. All in all the tour was filled with laughter and ride was very comfortable. We are just thankful they drove us back to our hotel doorstep hence we can avoid the impending typhoon. Thanks for making memorable memories!
