Excellent tour, excellent guide, and excellent timing. It was a very informative and interactive tour. I learned a lot thanks to the knowledgeable guide that pointed at significant objects that I would not have noticed myself. I highly recommend this tour and its guide.★

Reviews: Shanghai Day Tour to Zhujiajiao Water Town and City Attractions(Private Car & Ticket)
Guest User2025-06-26
The driver and guide Joe is a really wonderful person. We were a group of 5 people and he helped us a lot. One of us is a person in a wheelchair, so he helped even with it coz he had to move in such a wheelchair for half a year.★

Guest User2026-02-19
This day trip to Hangzhou's West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda, Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, Flower Harbor Park, Lingyin Temple, and Feilai Peak was a delightful and unforgettable experience. A heartfelt thank you to Teacher Yu! The scenery along the way was picturesque, with pavilions and towers exuding poetic charm. Under Teacher Yu's guidance, every location gained a touch of warmth and history. His explanations were vivid, engaging, and deeply insightful, narrating historical legends with captivating detail and enriching my knowledge. Teacher Yu was kind, polite, and meticulous, and the itinerary was perfectly planned—neither rushed nor tedious—allowing me to fully immerse myself in the beauty and spirit of Hangzhou. This relaxing and rewarding trip was an excellent experience; highly recommended!★

Reviews: Private Day Tour to Suzhou and ZhouZhuang Water Village from Shanghai
Guest User2025-04-22
I chose to go to the 'Humble Administrator' Garden, and the result was arranged to go to the 'Netmaster Garden', which is not on the menu. The 'Netmaster Garden' is really good. It is worth visiting, but this change is a bit strange. The silk museum is really not recommended, purely selling products. The time to visit the Panmen is too short, maybe because of the traffic jam on weekends. The restaurant arranged for lunch is a bit ordinary, but it tastes good. Zhouzhuang scenery is not very good, not a problem with the itinerary, but a problem with that place. The best thing is Mr. Wu, the tour guide, who is rich in knowledge and has questions and answers.★

We visited gardens, took a boat ride, saw the local market, and walked through the water alleys. It was a lot of very cool things! Our guide Laura was a wonderful storyteller, and I learned so much as a first-timer. I highly recommend both the tour and Laura. truly an amazing experience!
