5.00Lulu made our Suzhou trip amazing. She rescheduled without hesitation when we had to shift the tour and planned the whole day around our four year old, which kept things relaxed and fun. We visited Shantang Street, Pan City Gate, and walked along Pingjiang Road, which became our favorite spot. She brought us to a local place for lunch and shared great stories about the city since she grew up there. Our son fell asleep in my arms at one point, and Lulu jumped in as photographer so we wouldn’t miss any memories. Her photos were great. If you want a friendly, flexible guide who really knows Suzhou, she’s the one to book.
