Great experience in Water town - Great experience overall. The hotel pickup was very convenient, and since it was just the two of us, we had great interaction with the guide. Yun (our guide) was very helpful, well prepared, and always ready to answer our questions. The included lunch was excellent, and we appreciated the chance to try authentic local dishes.

Best historic getaway with beautiful scenery, shopping and food - Absolutely an amazing tour with Lea! This was by far the highlight of our trip to Shanghai. It was great to get out of the city and see a more “local” version of China. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and had a 1 hour drive. The vehicle was new and very nice. When we arrived we walked along the street on the riverfront and were surprised at all the wonderful food (with samples). We had done a food tour the night before and this had so many new items that we had not seen or tasted. This part alone was better than a paid food tour! The boat ride was absolutely amazing and allowed us to get some beautiful pictures from the scenic area. Lea is very knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. She speaks extremely clear and concise English. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.

Fabulous water town tour - Had a fantastic tour of the Zhujiajiao water town with our Guide Cassie who was engaging and very knowledgeable she made our trip. The ride in a luxurious car was a great start. The gardens were beautiful, and the boat trip took us down very scenic areas. Then a walk throught the alleyways a feast for the eyes. Would recommend.

Great tour with Mt. Robert to The Venice of the East - Today my wife and I took the tour of the Aquatic City, and Mr. Robert showed up punctually at our hotel. We were graciously escorted to the vehicle where the driver was waiting for us, and he drove excellently. Mr. Robert gave wonderful explanations of each place, courteously answering each of our questions. I highly recommend him. Mr. Robert's tour guide is well worth it; I will definitely recommend him.

Must see - It was a very comfortable hour ride. Tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Took pictures for us. I would have liked to spend more time walking around the shops. Felt a little rushed.

Zhujiajiao Water Town - Lovely afternoon in a quaint and picturesque village - Enjoyed the trip, it was very relaxed which was just what we needed as we had just arrived on a long haul flight from the UK. Cassie was very friendly and informative, she also knew all the best places to take photos - she took several of them of us on a trip and sent them to us as a montage set to music which was a nice personal touch
