Best Suzhou Tour Guides - I was visiting Suzhou with several work colleagues that arrived before me. I had booked this with one of them and she had done another tour the day before. Lulu did a great job of helping us choose places to visit she hadn’t seen yet, helping us stay cool in the heat, avoiding crowds, helping us shop and enjoy a wonderful day in Suzhou. We learned so much in a way that was very enjoyable. This was an excellent experience and highly recommended.

Wonderful guide - This was an excellent tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. It was very interesting. The guide customized the trip based on our interest and the time we had. For example, she brought us to a more child friendly garden where our daughter could climb rocks and have a bit of fun.

Sudden trip? No problem! - We just booked one day before for this tour. But we are being handled well with Sunny. Sunny contacted us and said that Lulu would guide us. Overall, the experience was terrific, and Lulu was a great tour guide, experienced and helpful. I will recommend it to friends. Thanks Sunny and Lulu.

Excellent experience of beautiful Suzhou and Zhou Zhuang - Our guide Sunny is knowledgeable and experienced to explain the culture and tradition of Suzhou and Zhou Zhuang. She took time and patiently waiting when we browsed the shops and while we made purchases. I recommend highly Sunny service and hope to join her other tours in the future.

Great tour - Great sites to see, and a very attentive guide. A bit of pressure to buy things, but I'm a pushover on that type of thing.

Thank you Sunny! - Sunny was great - informative, friendly, flexible. She made us comfortable, shared a lot about all the places we visited, had lunch with us, etc. We booked this only the afternoon before, but Sunny was responsive in negotiating a place to meet, and on the start time. We also appreciated the flexibility at the end of the day, where she adjusted the itinerary so we would have less travel time back to our hotel. We are happy we did this! (2 adults and older teen)

Perfect Tour of Suzhou & Zhouzhuang! - I have an amazing day with Sunny as my guide! I started with the Master of the Nets Garden in Suzhou, a more tranquil experience compare to some of the other gardens. It was just perfect! Next stop was the silk factory where I got to see the whole process of producing silk. We stopped for lunch where I tried some Suzhou specials! And finished my day with a boat ride in Zhouzhaung - simply magical! Sunny is so knowledgeable and an absolute blast. She made my day meaningful and FUN. Thanks again, Sunny!!

Review of: Private Suzhou Tour and Zhouzhuang Water Town Visit- Sophie Jiang - I never thought of having a wonderful time before we met Ms Sophie Jiang! We indeed spent a specular day at Suzhou and ZhouZhuang Village in the coming passed Saturday. Sophie definitely deserves to be called a 5 star golden metal tour guide. She is charming, funny, knowledgably about Chinese culture, language. She indeed excited us to have more question back to her with her lovely smile! We started with a tour to Suzhou city. Sophie gave us some options on the garden selection at Suzhou. There are so many greatest gardens in Suzhou and normally it is a tough question to ask – which one you want to go if you want to visit typical one within one day. Sophie was so patiently described the details to us during our way to downtown from our hotel- W Suzhou. She recommended Lion Grove Garden based on our interest and her knowledge. This was so effectively to save us time and maximized our interest to Suzhou within such short time of the tour. Sophie has a perfect English and we were surprised to know that she learnt English by herself without going aboard or attending from a foreign college- she learnt English from Youtube ! Although I grew up at China and I was lucky to know her and learned a lot from her on the Chines culture and the meaningful puzzles observed at Lion Grove Garden. She also came to know our interest to Suzhou silk and brought us to the Suzhou first silk factory. We came to know a lot about the history of the silk and origin of the industry. She is so caring, and mostly important, she is a beautiful girl with smart smile and full answers whenever to your questions. Also she is a smart girl with excellent photographing techniques and knows the best places and moment to take photos for us. Finally she performed the Qun Opera to us to make a greatest close remark of our trip. We love to have Sophie to be with us and we will come back with her if we have chance. Introduce her to my friends, sure, I highly recommend Sophie Jiang.
