5.00We had an awesome experience with our tour guides Alana and Tracy! Everything went flawlessly well from hotel pickup in a very luxurious minivan - to being guided through the cavernous and confusing Shanghai Central Train Station with first class seats - to being received at Suzhou Train Station and being guided through the many historic sights. Tracy was very fluent in both English and Mandarin, and gave us an excellent overview of the main historic sites in Suzhou. The boat ride along the historic waterway, followed by strolling along the historic alleys to eating lunch in the historic guest house and a rickshaw ride to the Administrator’s Garden - were all very memorable experiences! We found this day trip very luxurious and bespoke, being the only 3 guests on this private tour. We also learned a lot about the way of life for many locals as we discussed how things are done differently in China compared to our home country. All in all, an amazing and happy experience every step of the way! Highly recommended for anyone wanting a hassle free and stress free first visit to Suzhou!
Wonderful!

I have a wonderful time...

5.00This is a well-organized, wonderful day tour of Suzhou! Our tour guide, Caroline, was very knowledgeable and informative. She made sure that we saw all of the sights of Suzhou and the entire experience was smooth and very accommodating of our 6 month old baby. They even equipped our transportation with a car seat for the baby. Our lunch was delicious and we had lots of time to explore the garden and take beautiful photos.
