5.00We are with Snow and the driver for this tour. Snow is very knowledgeable and friendly. She is well prepared with the hot weather today and provided us with mini fans. She also treated us with fresh cold orange juices. Freshly squeezed! She showed us great information about the town, about the garden and shops! Last but not least she knows that we can’t sustain the heat and took us into a lot of shades. Thanks snow!

5.00We had a wonderful trip to Zhujiajiao with Snow as our guide. The driver picked us up promptly at the scheduled time at our hotel. Snow filled the 1 hour drive to the town with information about Shanghai. She took her time with us to explain all of the things we were seeing. She quickly got us tickets for the boat ride and ordered us a delicious lunch. She showed us good shops to visit in the town where we were able to get some unique souvenirs. We had a wonderful time!
