Excellent daytrip outside Shanghai - We hadden an excellent day out to Suzhou and to Zhouzhuang. One day before our transfer, Ms. Alana already contacted us about the details of the trip. Our driver, Mr. Cheng, knows what service is. His driving skills througout the day were perfect. We stayed in touch with Ms. Alana during the day. Make sure your smartphone is fully charged, as there is so much to see. We would definately recommend this trip!

Easy and relaxed day to Suzhou and Zhouzhuang! - My mom and I had a laid back and easy experience! Mr. Shen was our driver who was respectful and accommodating. He didn’t speak much English but we were able to communicate easily through Google translate and the tour operator - Alana - was accessible throughout the trip. This is the best option to choose if you prefer not to be tied to an itinerary and just want the comfort of someone driving you and showing you where to buy tickets. We got to decide all the places we wanted to visit, we stayed the amount of time we wanted to stay and we even had pre-selected the lunch spot, which was a great noodle place. I highly recommend this option if you like your own flexibility. Mr. Shen’s vehicle was clean, did not smell like smoke (which is far too often in China) and he was a great driver. Alana gave him instructions on all the things we wanted to see and he did everything - without us feeling like we were on a timeline. I highly recommend!

The PERFECT tour from Shanghai - This is PERFECT tour from Shanghai. The driver was very good and the car was big, super modern and comfortable. He picked us up at the agreed time and took us first to Suzhou, then to Zhouzhuang. The your is great because it's flexible, you can choose what to see/do in both places. And they are BEAUTIFUL. Zhouzhuang is like a town of fairy tale, especially early evening. We also had the amazing suport of Alana, the tour agent, she's very kind and speaks perfect English (if you have any problem, she can help). This tour was the best decision we made in our trip, you won't regret!
