Peaceful visit to Zhujiaojiao Water Town - I had a lovely afternoon in Zhujiajiao Water Town. It's a beautiful and peaceful village that truly feels like stepping back in time. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and it was a joy to wander through the charming streets and over the ancient bridges. Lucy was a fantastic guide — her English is excellent, and she shared so much interesting information about the history and culture of the village. She also introduced me to some delicious local food, which was a real highlight. A big compliment as well to our driver, who was calm, patient, and made the journey very comfortable. All in all, a wonderful experience!

A tranquility half day - an escape from the hustle and bustle - ZJJ is a blend of the old and the new. Old as in the charm of the ancient buildings which was built far back in Ming and Ching dynasty remains. While walking through the alleys and streets, crossing the bridge and riding on a boat, I peeked through histories and visualised life during that era. Residents trading, chatting and going through their daily routine. New as in there are buildings and shops that were built in recent times. Yet they blend in well with the old, not too contrasting from the old. They sit well side by side. We truly enjoyed the tour led by Robert Lou. He is knowledgeable and his English competency made it easier to understand the stories and history behind the buildings, the garden and historical sites. His hospitality is top notched, putting our needs in mind. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get away from the high rise, hustle and bustle Shanghai for a half day of tranquility.

Great learning experience - Annie was our tour guide and was a great fit for us. We are a homeschool family. We travel as a part of our learning experiences. Annie did a great job providing history and informative insight on Chinese culture that we would never get from reading a book. She was great with my children/students. She tailored our experience to match their interests and levels of understanding (ages 5-12)! Everyone had fun and learned lots. THANK YOU Annie!!!

Great afternoon trip - This is a beautiful little town with local food and shops and amazing views. We really enjoyed it. Highly recommend for an afternoon in Shanghai. Annie was a great guide, she’s very knowledgeable and has a fun and friendly personality. She fit in with our group well and was helpful and kind. Our group does not speak Chinese at all and she was great with helping us navigate shopping with the locals and explaining all of the various food and local items we were seeing.

Nice and Relaxing tour - The spot is quite interesting, gardens well maintained and local stores gives an unique experience. Additionally there was a boat tour. Our guide Sammi was a polite and nice person. Her English is fluent and doesn’t have the Chinese accent, she did a good job. I recommend this tour and particularly with Sammi.
