5.00The Zhujiajiao Water Town trip was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The scenery was breathtaking, with its charming canals, ancient bridges, and traditional architecture that truly transported me back in time. What made the tour exceptional was our guide, Kalvin. He was not only friendly and engaging but also incredibly knowledgeable. His deep understanding of the area’s history and culture, along with the fascinating stories he shared, brought every sight to life. I genuinely appreciated his guidance throughout the day - it felt like exploring with a friend who knows all the hidden gems. I highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to experience the beauty and history of Zhujiajiao in the best way possible.
