Perfect Suzhou Day Trip with a Wonderful Guide - This Suzhou day trip was one of the highlights of our time in China. The itinerary was well paced and included so many incredible experiences—exploring the Humble Administrator’s Garden, riding a rickshaw down historic Pingjiang Road, walking through Panmen Gate, and enjoying a relaxing boat ride on the Grand Canal. Our guide, Berlin, made the day truly special. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, sharing fascinating history and local insights while also making sure everything ran smoothly. Lunch was authentic and delicious, and the logistics (train, car, timing) were seamless from start to finish. We came away with beautiful memories and a much deeper appreciation for Suzhou’s culture and history. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Shanghai—you won’t regret it!

Excellent and first class trip to Suzhou - We took this first class trip with Jane. Had a wonderful experience. She picked us up at our hotel. We traveled in lovely cars, then the bullet train and had a beautiful trip to Suzhou. The boating trip, the rickshaw the gardens. And gates were all really lovely and she did a wonderful job of explaining everything to us. She even helped us find a couple of lovely silk gifts. I highly recommend her and highly recommend going to Suzhou!

Unforgettable!!! - I loved the tour they organized for us, since they went to the hotel, the station the places we visited and the explanations from our guide. The food in the restaurant delicious and Catherine was wonderful, took many pictures of us and was always willing to explain and help us with what we needed. Everything very well coordinated and entering the attractions was very simple, it definitely would not have been the same if we had done the tour on our own, it really was worth it.

Day trip to Suzhou - It was a wonderful trip, with Ms. Queena a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Her communication (in English) was flawless and she kept us regaled with stories and historical anecdotes. All in all, in spite of the day being very hot, we really enjoyed our first day in China.
