Explore the water village! - A highly recommended day trip outside of Shanghai. It’s a unique experience to see a traditional water village and beautiful gardens. Our guide Chloe was informative and made sure we had all of our questions answered. We had the chance to meet local artists, and enjoy a traditional lunch. I would recommend the tour, and if you are lucky to get Chloe as your guide you will have a good time!

Wonderful Classical Garden Visit - We had a very enjoyable day. We went to two different Classical Gardens. One of grand scale and lots of visitors and the other smaller and less crowded. The contrast allowed us to better appreciate the beauty and tranquility of classical Chinese garden. Our tour guide Ryan is knowledgeable, thoughtful and attentive, which enhanced the experience.

Great Day in Suzhou and Tongli! - We had five days in Shanghai so we took this one day excursion trip to nearby Suzhou and the watertown of Tongli. It was a wonderful experience and our knowledgeable guide Martin enriched us with explanation of the cultural history of the gardens and mansions we toured. We ended the tour with a beautiful boat ride on the waterways of Tongli! Would certainly recommend this tour with Martin as your guide.
