Perfect Suzhou Day Trip with a Wonderful Guide

5.00This Suzhou day trip was one of the highlights of our time in China. The itinerary was well paced and included so many incredible experiences—exploring the Humble Administrator’s Garden, riding a rickshaw down historic Pingjiang Road, walking through Panmen Gate, and enjoying a relaxing boat ride on the Grand Canal. Our guide, Berlin, made the day truly special. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, sharing fascinating history and local insights while also making sure everything ran smoothly. Lunch was authentic and delicious, and the logistics (train, car, timing) were seamless from start to finish. We came away with beautiful memories and a much deeper appreciation for Suzhou’s culture and history. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Shanghai—you won’t regret it!
The trip was very well...
