A five star private day tour of Suzhou with Berlin

5.00Berlin Hong Lan is an excellent and friendly guide more like a friend showing you around her city. My daughter and I booked a private day tour with a flexible itinerary since I wanted to see the Humble Administrators garden rather than the Master of Nets or Lionshead gardens with rickshaw ride and visit to the silk museum offered on the other private tours. Our van was very comfortable with armchair seats and umbrellas. Berlin efficiently got us into the Bullet train where 30 minutes later we went in a similarly comfortable van to old Shantung street. Berlin is an engaging guide telling us interesting snippets about China’s most ancient city. After a brunch of crab noodles and tasty xiao long Bao in Shantung street we boarded a boat ride giving us an interesting perspective of the old houses along the canals. From there we were driven to the Panmen city wall and gate with pagoda a beautiful classic example of Chinese lake pavilions and covered walkways. At the Humble Administrator’s Garden, Berlin showed us the hidden places and facts of Suzhou’s largest garden. Berlin then took us to an excellent restaurant showcasing some tasty dishes of fish, pork belly, stir fried pork mushroom and capsicum, noodles. An excellent finish before taking the bullet train back to Shanghai where the van dropped us back our hotel. Berlin showed us such a great tour of Suzhou and some of the highlights that I would highly recommend her.
A must do!
